Shop-made guides Elektra Beckum BAS 315 Metabo BAS 316

[Ttrees]

Hello everyone
Just thought I'd post some photos of the home made guides Ive made recently, since this bandsaw is taken apart
at the moment .
I believe that both the Elektra Beckum BAS 315 and the Metabo BAS 316 are the same bandsaw
Although it looks like the Metabo BAS 317 looks to be the same too (I'm not sure about this though !)
so I thought it might be useful for someone with broken blade guides, as it seems all too common .
Happy metal-crafting folks
T

I just thought I'd mention
When changing blades on the Elektra Beckum BAS 315 or the Metabo BAS 316 Make sure the guidepost is raised all the way up
Otherwise you stand a great chance of kinking you blade !
Good luck
T
