I inherited a Chinese bandsaw a few weeks ago. I finally got around to tuning it up last night and found that the upper blade guides are missing. A little online searching leads me to believe that, although mine is branded IMS, all the imports are pretty much the same. I found a manual for a Harbor Frieight 14" bandsaw and it looks identical. I called HF and found that the guides are cheap ($1 each), but not in stock. They'd be happy to send them to me in 12~14 weeks.
Does anyone have a source for these guides? I have the holder and the roller guide behind the blade, I just need the little sqaure ones that guide the sides. Either steel or composite will work.
TIA

Re: Bandsaw Guides
Also look at Grizzly. They seem to have one of everything. Maybe they've got a similar saw.

No website, but the catalog is the definitive manual for adjustment, repair, tuning and using a bandsaw. Call them while you are in front of your bandsaw, order a catalog before you buy factory parts, you may be able to do much better than factory.
