the lower guide block holder on my POS BS busted while i was trying to tune it up. the casting snapped. it is suposed to be a delta knock off. 14"open stand. looks suspiciously like a grizzly or eqivilant. anybody out there upgraded to beter guides on one of these el cheepo's lately? if so would you be willing to part with the ones you took off? a new bandsaw is not in the cards right now and i use it very little anyway. if anyone has this i can get a pic posted in the binaries group if needed. HELP!!!!!!. the saw works like it is but it isnt very accurate. the sparks are a dead givaway that it will be eating blades if i continue to use it this way! lol,..... thanks all...

If you have trouble getting parts, I bet Delta parts would fit. They did on mine.

I have a taiwan clone bandsaw that I upgraded a while back to ball bearing guides - I do have the old guides - what seems fair for $$?

did the upgrade include changing the mounts? if so i can send a pic of whats broken to see if they are the same or you can email a pic to snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com . i will take all the parts for the guides upper and lower or whatever you have. i dont know what a fair price would be but am willing to pay fairly with shipping. drop a line if you will. let me know. i think thees cheep bandsaws are all prettty much the same but i could be wrong! :-] thank you.

from a post in another group i see the part can be had at HF for 6.36 plus shipping. i took a pic of what is broken and will post in ABPW in a minuit. if you have the entire assembly that would be great! i lost the guide block [ or at least i forgot where i put it! ] and 1 of the screws is gone also so the complete assembly whould mean i got everything i need. anxtiously awaiting a reply! :-}> tell me what you need for the parts and we can make the arrangments.
