Hi martinned,
I have a Burgess BBS20 bandsaw, although I suspect it to be a Mk1. Sorry it's not for breaking up. But can you please tell me where the cog is. I don't recall one. Now it may be that I have forgotten what the inside looks like, it has been a while now, but I thought mine was all pulleys etc.

Hi Martin,
The cog thing is actually a timing belt pulley. There are many suppliers of these but the barrage of questions you will need to answer will put off even the bravest soul.
If I recall Clarke make what looks like a re-badged MK3 Burgess. I would suggest you head down to Machine Mart and have a look at one. Machine Mart do a very good spares service if it matches.
If the pulley is the right one I would suggest purchasing the pulley and matching belt as the tooth spacing is almost certain to have been changed. A quick check on mine shows it to be an imperial belt.
Kind Regards
James

Hi Martin,
There it is then. Almost certainly I have a Mk1. On my machine the drive from the motor is a small pulley driving the wheel/pulley at the lower back by a 'V'-belt. With age this has polished, and probably stretched, giving rise to the occasional slip start. Possibly the very reason why Burgess changed to a toothed belt drive in later models.
Sorry I could not help, but thanks for the help with an identification problem.
I hope you get your small, but very useful, machine working again quickly.
