I like the idea of bearings but the upgrade is £80 per guide!

So I now feel like a bit of an silly person as I went out to see what I could see! And found 4 bolts to loosen, slide the motor over and hey presto the belt fits! So finally I have a blade that will stay on, a belt that will stay on and a machine that works, (I powered it up to try it), thanks to...
