[TheForge] Horizontal Band Saw Blade Guides

[Jim Beard]

Howdy,

I stopped by the local scrap yard at lunch and looked at a band saw
that was being sold at scrap prices.  It was a cheap Chicago model,
probably from Harbor Freight.  It was missing the motor and the guides
for the saw blade.  I don't have a band saw yet, and I figured a motor
would be easy enough to scrounge and install.  However I wasn't sure
about the blade guides.  Does anyone know a place to order
replacements from?  I don't think I really have the setup or time to
fabricate them, and the band saw new doesn't cost too much new, maybe
200$ or under..

Anyway, I thought I would see if there was an easy way to get those
guides replaced.  If not I probably won't worry about it.  I don't
NEED a band saw right now, but I would like to get one eventually.

Thanks for any info,

Jim
