Record Bs350

[defsdoor]

I finally got a bandsaw and after checking it over it appears that it's thrust bearings are totally wrecked - grooves and flat spots in them so I need to replace them. Anyone know what I need and from where ? Of all the bandsaws on record's site the BS350 is the only one that doesn't seem to have a manual to download and their online shop has no spares whatsoever.

I'm also curious as to whether the axminster bearing blade guide fits this model - anyone know ?

wait till Monday then telephone RP. They will have spares. The 350 is one of their most popular models.

I must say I'm not that impressed with record power's total lack of spare parts stock. I've ordered three bits and each one has been 'on order', each one arriving in stock at different times and they phone me to charge me postage separately for each one.
