So I have some approximate dimensions for a Kity Ck26 which I think is a little bit bigger than the woodmen. Length - 1900mm Width - 1350mm Height - 1100mm

I have read about someone that used both types of guides and they didn't notice any improvement between cool blocks or rollers. Mine still has the blocks for the lower guide.

Hi Noggsy, I've not researched this but going to say no. I think there are some differences with the upper guide and think you'd need a complete assembly which isn't economically viable. You might have more joy in trying to get an Axminster aftermarket set to fit if you're handy. Thanks, James

Perfect thank you. I've just been out in the garage and adjusted so it's much more like your photos. Piece of paper just slots in between blade and rollers. Hopefully with a new blade too it'll cut far straighter than it was doing before.

Thanks Sideways! I really appreciate the information. Haven't run the machine yet but was going to have a read up on setting the guide up properly. That's a huge help with what you've written. Getting the blade to sit on the edge of the tyre wasn't too bad to do. Also need new blades for...

Thinking of buying a used Kity K5 Woodmen for small garage space. Mostly for the saw, thicknesser and planer. Just small jobs nothing big. Can anyone confirm the overall dimensions of the setup. Length, width and overall height including table it's on? Had a search online but found very...

Well I decided not to waste any more time and treat the old girl. £52 inc delivery!! :shock: but its done

Probois have come back to me and probably lost in translation. They have supplied me a link to all Kity 613 spares they carry without answering my particular questions. The part I think would work is coming out at 50 quid with delivery. I shall explore other options first!

Much appreciated folks. Thank you Sideways for looking into the possibility of a viable bodge and also for the excellent informative maintenance thread on the 613. I have referenced this several times and obviously where I nabbed the photo of the upper guide.

Thanks both. I was aware Kity had the early 613 with cool blocks and then later revised to the roller and bearing design. I don't think there was any noticeable improvement in cutting from what I read. It certainly does sound like Kity were raiding the parts bin to use up what they had left...

Thank you powertools that's a great help. How strange! I expected the parts list to be as your photo. So it does seem what I had was at least supplied like this from new at some point. Thank you too Ian. I've sent an email off to Probois enquiring.

Thanks for the reply Ian. Apologies when you say the unit is the same are you referring to the item I've removed or the item I've shown on the probois site? Thanks again, James

Much appreciated for the reply Andy. I'd really like if it was upgraded but pretty sure its standard albeit Kity's later design over cool blocks. I say this as the design of the upper side rollers face the wrong way to the blade side. Aftermarket looks to be different and how I'd expect it to...

Hi all, I recently purchased a Kity 613 as my first bandsaw. I've been giving it a tidy up before use and wanted to change the rear roller bearing. Though mine looks different to any other Kity 613 photos I've seen. I seem to have 3 side rollers with one being used for the rear roller...
