BTW. if it is sealed bearings gone bad then buy a grease NEEDLE that inserts into your grease gun. Drill a tiny hole in seal and put grease needle inside of bearing and pump grease into it. Dab a little of your favorite sealer type glue over the hole.
I've done that many times even on timing belt tensioners like the one on my 88 2.0 Ranger's.

LOL. oh, ok. I thot it was a serious post. At my age I'm getting a little slow to catch on. Thanks for the explanation.

"Strange noises"

Probably the bearings in the end wheels that the blade band travels on. Might be cheaper and faster to just replace bearings. Maybe bearings in the motor.

I don't know. But determine the noise problem and repair.

I've had several pieces of equipment around here (mower decks for sure and countless other tools and equipment where the bearings go bad. Order bearings off of eBay dirt cheap. Put them in. Maybe have to replace again in 5 or 6 years.

Bottom Line: Repair the saw unless it requires special parts peculiar to only that saw.

WEll, just exactly what do plan to cut with the band saw????
If u plan to cut things such as round or oval shaped brackets or cut flat steel or Al to something that mite reseemble a pistol grip then i doubt that a horizontal band saw of ANY type will work. Altho i 've never used a horizontal, only used verticles.that require the metal to be hand fed into the blade.

If all u want to do is cut tubing or bar stock then maybe just buy a "Sawz-All" (hand held reciprocating saw ) and some blades and use that to to make just streight or angled cuts.

Quote from above post:

"A flux capacitor"

ok. but for what???? A radio??? Ignition system??? horns???
A flux capacitor for what????

My best guess at this point is that it is something for maybe commercial equipment such as maybe sirens or police radios etc.

Possibly a relay of some sort used for 6v to 12v conversion accessories such as a 6v radio still operating in a car converted to 12v.

Maybe just hang on to it for a while until u can find out what it is.
Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Use an ohm meter or something to determine if the round thing has continuity with the mounting bracket.

Maybe eBay search or google the numbers stamped on the bracket as u indicated in the first post. That mite help to identify it.

Well then just exactly what is the round thing??? Is it a flasher stat for turn signals??? Or what???? Does the round thing have any markings on it or part numbers or logos or anything to identify or help to identify what the round thing is????

Is round thing a button switch???
