Evening all
I picked up a great secondhand bandsaw Itech BS431 last week. It needs some fettling and a new blade.
The top guides look like this (thrust bearing removed)
Is there supposed to be something in the space on the face of the disc? I wondered if there is supposed to be a disc of some other metal as sacraficial.
The edges of the "circle" are a bit sharp and I think could do with easing, but maybe they are supposed to be like that??
I believe this is an exact copy of the Axminster 4300 bandsaw so I'll see if I can pop in and take a look at theirs this week.
