Cast Iron Blade Guide Brackets:


 

There are many sources of supply for the 4x6 Bandsaw. Will someone be
good enough to tell me who supplies the bandsaw with cast iron blade
guide brackets rather than pressed steel. Thanks for your help. Ted
Burrow.


 

If you live near one of the Rex Tool Supply stores or want to order it
mail order, they have the saw under the brand name "ACRA". It is made in
Taiwan and has the heavier upper frame and cast iron blade guides.

Grizzly does and the current price is $185, made in Taiwan and their
model also includes an arm lock, i.e. a pin in the arm to keep it
closed, or fully up.

Ted, I have no regrets going with the Enco saw. I got the cheapest
version, the one with the non-USA, non-UL motor and haven't had a
problem with it.

Mine is on a mobile base that I welded up from square steel tubing
and flat bar. The saw is bolted to the mobile base and is very solid
with it set up this way, quite unlike the flimsy factory arrangement.

Happy Holidays,
Alan Riley

Check your local farm stores for the Clarke brand $169.00, has cast
brackets, and the head casting looks to be heavier than HF and
others, Also has shelf in the base.

The HF which I have has cast alum. arms, which are very poor in my
opinion.
