On a recent episode of The American Woodworker the bandsaw was set up with a slotted stabilizer bearing at the back of the blade which allowed for use without side bearings. This allows smaller blades to flex a bit in the cut to facilitate tighter radius cutting.
A quick search found one assembly available for ~$100 after shipping.
Does anyone know of sources for just a bearing that can be fitted to my present system for a lower price.
My bandsaw is a Jet 14" model with 12" re-saw.
TIA,
