Durden B1200 Saw Guide Pins

**John H** · 12th May 2022, 03:08 PM

I’ve just picked up an old Durden B1200 bandsaw. It’s running, but in need of proper adjustment, new tires, blade etc. The blade guides called “Saw Guide Pin” part number BS12/42 in the manual have been replaced by brass tube stuffed with felt. I guess they work, but I’m thinking I’ll replace them with solid pins.

Does anyone know what material the original pins are made from?

I have a metal lathe so I’ll turn down some pins to size out of brass unless there is another material better suited.

If I was to do it I would make the from steel with brazed and ground Tungsten faces, originals were most likely solid brass.

I am not familiar with the Durden ones, but from your photo it appears to be similar to the older made in Aus Woodfast guides setup. The rods should be 3/8" dia with a flat on the front and must be hardened steel. I am not here on the forum to sell stuff and push my work but I do happen to have these in stock. These are not listed on my website, you'd have to phone me.
