The blade prefers to run in straight lines which is a revelation. The 1/2″ bearings came from BearingBoys.Īll is now re-assembled and running really smoothly. I drew the replacement guide block assembly in Fusion 360 and milled it on the Tormach CNC from brass. The blade is sandwiched between the two ball races and these can be slid in and out and then be fixed in place with the cap head screws once the correct location is found to guide the blade. While the machine was in pieces it seemed like a good idea to implement this modification. The guide modification consisted of replacing the two stud guides with ball bearings. I am indebted to the members of my local model engineering club who came up trumps with copies of these articles for me. Here is a link to the articles burgessbandsaw2. In the course of looking for possible spares (no chance) I came across a reference to modifications to the BK3 in Model Engineer to improve the blade tracking and speed settings. ![]() Fingers crossed that will give the machine a reprieve and extend its life. It appeared to be very old brittle plastic and the damage was really to be expected given the vintage of the device.Īfter head scratching I designed a replacement edging strip in Fusion 360 which I 3D printed and glued in place. On inspection the drive wheel had lost part of its blade outer retaining flange. That is until the other day when the blade came off with a loud twang. It is a very useful machine and gets pressed into use day in and day out. I bought it on EBay from an owner in Lancashire and remember a nice day trip to collect it. One such piece of kit is my Burgess BK3 bandsaw which is ancient but has up to now worked reasonably well for my needs. Some pieces of workshop equipment generate a sentimental attraction that is hard to break. ![]()
