I need some help sourcing some parts for an Industrial Bandsaw.
The bandsaw is not mine but belongs to one of the companies I contract in to.
The bandsaw is a decent size 3 phase unit, but alas when they bought it 3 years ago it came from a box shifter who no longer exists.
Last Friday I noticed the saw wasn't cutting square and was told the blade was over 6 weeks old and was probably knackered. When changing the blade I started to give the saw a bit of a clean and that is when the wear strip loading screw fell out and I noticed the wear strip was completely gone.
Anyway I bodged up a bit of 8 X 20 X 50 MS flat and put that in to keep us going, but it really needs replacing with a properly hardened wear strip.
The saw:
The saw's blade arms:
The wear strip and preload screw:
And against the rules on my squares to give you an idea of the correct size.
The saw's legend plate:
