I'm about to throw out an "old" but unused bandsaw that I picked up two years ago.
But I thought I'd first ask if it was plausible to start from scratch and get upper and lower guide assemblies, blocks, holders ect. I'm just not sure if a full set of parts would be compatible with this saw beyond having to drill and tap new holes. Are the diameters and distances between the pulleys different from one 14" bandsaw to another?
And since the pulleys are I believe cast aluminum, is it even worth it anyway?
Lastly, I missed out on a Walker Turner bandsaw on Craigslist because I didn't get back to the seller in time after doing my research, so I thought I'd ask for recommendations for a good used 14" one to keep my eyes open for.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks.
