Used the info
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý
First question. My be what type or brand saw are you working on ?? If it's a harbor freight.? " I " would think? about another saw. And keep old one for spare parts .? Then you can tear into the old one as much as you like. Gears maybe an adventure finding
and replacing .? But I am an excellent tearer downer, just lack the super powers sometimes to get all the parts back in the box. From: 4x6bandsaw@... <4x6bandsaw@...> on behalf of rhulslander@... [4x6bandsaw] <4x6bandsaw@...>

?
I need to replace the gears, who knew you were supposed to check the oil level? Where do I start Amazon has gears but they do not appear to be the exact same size.
But the shaft appears to be the same size.
How do I remove the gears? Do I drive the shaft out? Which way?
Needing lots of help.

My Bandsaw is a Buffalo, possible 50 years old. But looks exactly like any 4x6 bandsaw.
I? bought it at a yard sale and used it occasionally for 5 years. I do not have room to store for parts. I have a Delta 14" bandsaw that I put a Consew variable speed DC brushless motor on. I can slow it down to metal cutting range but it just doesn't do as good of job as my Buffalo did. I used the Buffalo with a vertical table I don't even have a vice for horizontal use. The vice is on my list of things to make. All of the 4x6 bandsaws I have seen pretty much have the same gear configuration. Ralph |
Yes, it was giving me fits. It had worked fine for a number of years and many blade changes, then it got to where every time I tried to cut anything with it, the blade would immediately jump off! I tried new blades and did what the info that came with the saw said to do---but no luck. I put it to the side for over a year until I stumbled upon this site. I then jumped back on it with the ideas and instructions found here, and now it is working great again! It sure beats the heck out of a hacksaw! My handheld portaband cuts good, but can't keep a straight cut.
