Repair Difficulty:
Easy
Time Spent Repairing:
15-30 minutes
Tools Used:
Screwdriver, Adjustable Wrench, Punch and hammer to tap in the hinge pins.
The cast hinge assembly used to adjust the blade tracking had broke......a true mystery. Possibly metal fatigue.
To be responsible, I suppose I should, like all manuals, state the obvious.....unplug the band saw! Next, I removed the blade. The blade guide on the left was held on by 2 screws. An adjustable wrench removed two lower bolt like devices ( one holds the door latch and the other hold the screw for the blade guide). If you have a manual with an exploded view this is helpful. They are also available on line.
Use a wrench for removal of upper wheel. Two more screws free the upper metal cover. The adjustment device slides out of the cast iron track. The most difficult part is removing the pins that secure the hinge. I used a 1/8" drill bit and made a pilot hole in the end of each pin. Then I screwed in a self tapping 1/2" metal screw. Screw it in so that its tight but still partially exposed. With a vise grip, you can now turn the pin and pull it out. When replacing the pin, it will need to be tapped in. I used a hammer and punch for this leaving the drilled end exposed in the event that I ever have to repeat this. Reassemble, adjust the blade according to instructions for your machine, and you're good to go. Hope this is helpful.

The lever on the upper hinge broke.
I have a Ram bandsaw, purchased in about 1985. The arm on the upper hinge broke, and in trying to get it apart I also broke the box it rides in. In the catalog, Jet parts looked very similar, so I ordered them. It didn't quite work, I had to make 5/16" pins to fit the upper hinge, and the nut was 12mm instead of 1/2", but the saw is working again.

Improved design over original
Couldn't believe they still make this part. Perfect fit with some small adjustments on my off brand saw. All in all I couldn't be happier, my band saw works perfectly again for a fair price.

Nearly identical to my discontinued saw.
The part arrived very quickly. I took a chance that this would fit my 30+ year old band saw. The only difference was the size of the pivot holes, which were easy to drill 1/64" larger. The part works like a charm. It saved me hundreds not having to buy a replacement saw.
