Re: Hydraulic piston replacement options?

You have any pictures?
No idea what Hormier used for their cylinder, but I assume it¡¯s the same as other China built and rebranded saws.
If the cylinder is like my grizzly saw, also made in China, you disassemble the cylinder by removing the snap-ring on the packing gland on the rod end.
Grizz doesn¡¯t show a breakdown of the cylinder, and I haven¡¯t had mine apart, but seals & o-rings are easy enough to measure.
A call to Grizzly may be worthwhile, assuming it appears to be like your cylinder. They may sell kits or seals for them, but not list them, or they may be able to tell you what
they are.

Take a look here, and see if this looks like your Homier, or at least if the cylinder does:
Pic attached is of my Grizzly saw.

Hi! I have a Homier 4x6 bandsaw, model MBS46/03111. My hydraulic piston leaks (and might have air inside?) allowing the blade to drop down in little jerks rather than a smooth continuous slow motion. Are these pistons serviceable or should
I be looking for a replacement? Any suggestions one where to get a replacement?
I think I had the same problem when I first bought the saw and got a replacement from Homier which is the one I am struggling with again now. Actually it has worked poorly for years and I'm just getting around to doing something about it
after several recent frustrating uses.? I'm hoping there is a 3rd party replacement I can get. Any suggestions??
