    4x6 horizontal band saw blade guides

    I have a Harbour Freight 4x6 horizontal band saw with a broken blade guide. The piece that holds the bearings split. I have not been able to find a replacement. Grizzly has them on their website but they have been on backorder for years as far as I can tell. Other google searches bring up mostly woodworking versions or much larger metal working parts.

    I would rather not spend the time making them if I can help it. It's a $15 part on grizzly not counting new bearings. Any other place I can look?

    Thank you.
    Tom

    I bought a bunch of stuff from Grizzly to fix the saw guides. Unfortunately the cam bolts were not in stock and the old and new parts have different sized bearings.

    I can't imagine why this machined does not have some sort of after market parts for this.

    You can find cam bolts on the McMaster Carr website, they run about $11 to $15 depending on the size required.

    You could also look on ebay someone might have the broken part you need.
