As about a dozen people mentioned the last time you posted this, get
them as spare parts from Harbor Freight and make some minor mods to get
them to fit.

But as usual, you omit pertinent details: Like exactly what parts you
need and what options you might have investigated.

But from what I see, you could order ALL the table parts for almost any
of the HF units and bolt them to your frame. It's when you insist on
trying to match something that you run into trouble.

If you want, I use a machine tool repair/rebuilder that would be glad to
machine up anything you want. Plan on about $95 an hour for their services.

Default Needed: Bandsaw Table Trunnions

The question was simple. I asked if anyone knew where I could get
trunnions made for a
bandsaw table...

I don't know whether or not the proper size trunnions can be machined
from existing ones or not.

I never received that catalog from Harbor Freight, or responses to my
e-mails. Calling them is not an option because I'm at work during
their business hours and there are no HarborFreight stores anywhere
near me.

And I couldn't find any what I was looking for at the site. I
donwloaded the only manual there for a 14" bandsaw, but until I can
speak with someone at the company, I cannot go any further.

Darren,
I didn't follow previous thread, so this may be a repeat.

http://www.emachineshop.com/
Gives you the CAD software, and will return parts, at (what I have
heard) is a reasonable price.

I don't see the lower blade guide in your pictures, do you need that
too?

If you need somebody to make the drawings, (so parts can be
fabricated), then they will need the entire machine, so they can align
the blade with the table.

I hope this is not a sentimental tool.

As usual, you neglected to give information that might help someone give
you a hand. Shrug.

I think it is time that you buy a used bridgeport and a boring head.

Well, if I had "used Bridgeport" money and space, as well as tolerant

Try contacting Black&Decker thru this link to locate a service center
close to you.
http://www.dewaltservicenet.com/

Then request a parts catalog for a Delta 14" bandsaw. The pieces you
have in the photos are very similiar to the Delta's.

The trunions and many other parts are still supported. You may even be
able to order a table. More than likely it will be off. The trunions are
made of pot metal and are easy to modify.

Let the guy behind the counter know what your trying to do or you may
get parts of no use to you.


Good Hunting

Thanks.

They do not have a catalog. Everything is done on the web(according to
the sale rep I spoke with). I located a service center, but since
today is one of those rare(annual) days that I don't have to work on a
weekday, I'd have to find out what I'd need and get there before
closing(5pm).

In other words, I'll have to find out what I'd need and order the
parts if they do mail order.

Thanks again.
