Hi,
I have a standard Delta 14" bandsaw that I have been ignoring and am starting to use again to cut blanks for wood turning. My problem is that on the lower guide assembly the mechanical setup that keeps the thrust bearing in place to keep the blade from being pushed back is not holding its ground. There is something missing, I am thinking maybe just one metal ring that has a set screw in it to stop the bearing from being pushed back. Can anyone point me to a diagram or picture of what that lower guide assembly should look like? I am pretty sure I am missing a piece I just don't know where.
Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
