Old Delta Bandsaw Lower Bearing Guide Block Replacement

[MikeTheBike]

My old Delta Model 28-160 Bandsaw has a broken lowerbearing & guide block-Pt # 34- on Delta's exploded parts list.Tried to be very careful to get a disintegrated bearing & its shaft out to replace,but it gave way in the middle. Delta/Black & Decker have no such part available.Does anyone know of any suitable replacement, or anyone happen to have an old salvageable part,or knowledge of anyone who might be an independent manufacturer who would be able to provide a replacement part ? This is an old 3 wheeler,12" throat,& uses a 561/8 blade. I'm trying this site 1st.I do know a CNC guy,but I can only guess at a price ! Any help would be appreciated-Thanks Guys

Have you tried the Old Wood Working Machines website (www.owwm.org)? The BYOD (Bring Out Your Dead) forum is for posting WTB (Wanted to Buy) & FS (For Sale) items. Someone may have them or know of a source for your band saw parts. "The Shop" forum is a great place to ask for help in repairing or for locating a supplier of older items like these.
Hope it helps
