Part was what I needed, repair was easy and price was reasonable
I ordered this hinge assembly for a Porter Cable 14 in. band saw after discovering that my original part was cracked. I purchased this saw used and as I was tuning up the machine I noticed that the blade wouldn't track consistently. After checking all of the parts I discovered the aluminum hinge assembly for the upper wheel was cracked and also the blade tensioning screw was bent. I ordered these two parts from eReplacemtmentparts.com and received them when promised and at a much lower price than other websites. After installing the parts I was able to get my band saw running like new. I'm very pleased with ereplacementparts.com.

Fast Shipping, easy shopping, exactly as described
Title says it all. The part was what it was supposed to be, it was packaged well (no damage), shipped expediently, and was easy to find on the site.

Adaptable to other 14" Chinese-made bandsaws.
When the blade-tensioning arm casting broke on my old Reliant bandsaw, I found Reliant is apparently now defunct....I knew most 14" Chinese/Taiwanese-made saws are nearly identical so I found this top wheel spindle assembly for Porter Cable bandsaws (apparently also now discontinued) took a chance and ordered it and it fit perfectly! I had to stack a few washers on the spindle to take up the slack and align it with the lower wheel....it's now working perfectly! I even ordered a spare in case it breaks again but the adjustment arm on the PC part seems beefier than the Reliant OEM...I'm thinking about ordering a few more spare parts for my saw while they're still available as fewer and fewer manufacturers are making these saws...

Removed the old part and installed and adjusted the new one. Note: I used this part to repair a Rigid 14" bandsaw which is not shown as an applicable model. The hinge and bracket are suitable for a Rigid with some minor modifications (spacer on the spindle to allow securing the wheel and replacement of the spindle nut and adjusting bolt to the correct size for the Porter Cable part.
Overall, satisfied with my purchase and very happy to have my bandsaw operational again at a reasonable price.
It's a shame the Rigid part is out of stock everywhere as it seems to be a very high fail item. I hope the Porter Cable part holds up better.
