Hi, I just acquired one of these bandsaw last week so your timing was great as it needs some work and updates. I need to replace the same bearing assembly so this is great. Thank you for posting the video. Not only was it informative but you did a wonderful job with the lighting. Thank....this will definitely be helpful.
Hi Jim, I don’t know if you respond to comments, but have you ever used the 12” craftsman with the tilt head? It has a different guide system that is a lot more janky with the old steel guides. I was wondering if you had any idea what the difference was between the different colors or brands of urethane tires is. Some are 2 for $16, while some are $30 each
Mine works well enough as is. $210 is a bit much for an upgrade I can easily do without. Something that is definitely worthless are the blue tire replacements.

Where did you buy the replacement roller guides?

Jim you should upgrade to an led bulb too, much brighter

Great Video! Have you ever thought about upgrading your bandsaw with a higher HP motor?
I have a craftsman 12 inch bandsaw that might be older. Mine does not have the tension knob- it's a lever inside
Hello Jim..I am purchasing similar saw this weekend...I may have some questions if ok
Contact me through my website and I will try to answer your questions.
Did your lower bearings have some slop in them when you installed them? Mine will move side to side a little.
Yes, there is a small amount of slop. Not a serious issue really because they are still effective.
