Bandsaw Guide Bearings

[Carl]

I was changing the blade on my Record Power BS250 Bandsaw and noticed that two of the bottom bearings were grating and not turning very well, I contacted Record Power the price for one bearing is £4.99 plus postage which came to around £15, the number on the bearing is 626 HGB, does anyone know were I might be able to buy them cheaper.

Axminster do them here

or you could try a more specific bearing supplier (either local or online) they're easier to find than you might think. Google is your friend:

I've bought them from ebay before as well, I'd expect to replace all the guide bearings (well the side ones anyway) for £15.

He has a 250 and replaced his guides jamed.
He bought an American replacement.

Mine are still going ok. I need to upgrade the bearing holder because the guides are not parellel to each other.
