Craftman Bandsaw Replacement Blade Guides

thingiverse

I was given a old bandsaw. I tried cutting a board with the thing and the blade was going all over the place. I took the thing apart and found that the blade guides were plastic and completely worn out. I tried to order replacement parts, but they are no longer available. I did a little research on how blade guide work and are adjusted. I decided that I would not only print replacement parts, but I would modify them to also have guide bearings. There are pictures showing the bearings and the brass rod that i purchased from amazon. The model is the Craftsman 244200 band saw. The designed worked better than expected and the bandsaw cuts really well now.
