Thread: DeWalt DW 3501 bandsaw parts needed! - Resolved

Hi everyone

I purchase a second hand bandsaw Dewalt DW 3501 in auction and I needs some parts for it. Initially the blade wouldn't move and the motor wanted to go so I realise that the bearings on both belt wheel drivers were seased. I fixed a few other minor things but now I need a few other minor parts but those that I most need to make the machine operational are the 2 "crescents" that holds the top table into the main machine frame. Those are also made so that the table can be adjusted in various angles.
I contacted Dewalt in SA and they have no longer any parts for this discontinued model. On the internet I did found in UK an supplier of parts for most machines available in the world, this supplier does provide a exploded diagram of the machine and a complete part list (which I saved), and the parts I need all appear to be available with prices supplied on the parts list but when I tried to make the purchase, Australia wasn't in the list of countries that they deal with so, I sent them a email to confirm this and sure they did, NO SALES TO AUSTRALIA... SORRY!

Now, does anyone here has parts for this machine, or know who does?
If I'm left with no choice but try to get these parts from the UK supplier, would anyone, better if living in UK, but elsewhere if required, be prepared to by the parts for me and send them to me? Obviously, payment will me made as per your requirements, no problem.

This is the UK supplier, http://www.mtmc.co.uk/product.asp?P_...=any&PT_ID=all

The more important parts needed are the 2x crescents (left & right) Parts # 176 - 179.
Parts that I would like also to have are: part # 181 - 190 -191 -192 -193 and 183.

If anyone can help with this, I would be most thankful.

Cheers
