Help with Elu bandsaw parts

[JimboS]

Hi guys
I have managed to pick up an Elu Ebs 3501 type 1 bandsaw for the princely sum of £25.

Ive stripped and cleaned it and all seems good so far.

The problem I have though is that the bladecut height guard that winds up and down is very clunky. It looks like the adjuster knob that goes into the machine stops at a black plastic cog type wheel which is what winds the guard up and down. Mine has worn and some of the cog has broke off.

Ive rang a couple of the parts companies out there but they cannot work out which part it is on the schematic diagram. They suggested that i should seek help from you gents on your forum.

Can anyone shed any light on either its name/ part number or even better where i could get one?

Sincerest thanks for reading and your help
James

I believe it's 169 on the page below. It's not actually drawn but if you follow the dotted line from the guide assembly it's in the logical place and it's called a knob which makes sense.

It's a common failure as mine has stripped all the teeth and no longer works. I took mine out filled the remainder of the teeth off and just have a 13mm spanner local to the machine that I use to loosen/tighten the bolt when I want to adjust the guides.

Thanks very much for your reply. looking at the pic on the website you sent it looks like the correct part. Im gonna order one and see how I get on.

You guys clearly know ur stuff and it was a good call by the shop assistant i spoke to.

Thanks again
