Please recommend a good metal cutting horizontal band saw that uses approximately 60" blades. Thanks, MM

I have a tube of black silicon and I only use a little on occasion to seal crank cases on go kart engines. The stuff gets hard in the neck of the tube so I try to cut it out with a #11 blade and I also run a drill in there by hand but the stuff doesn't want to come out. It's still very fluid in...

I think my grandpop had one like that.

Good luck drilling that plate, I hope you've got a big drill press.

Sears Model # 101.2290 I'm a HSM so I'll have to take it apart and see what I can do.

Thanks, I guess I should have tried that first. They have the big gear for $335.72. Who knew a pot metal gear would cost that much. Harbor freight has a new 64" horizontal bandsaw with stand for $249.99. Still looking for options, maybe a way to fix the gear? MM

Hi, New to the forum. I have an older 60" Craftsman horizontal band saw. One of the aluminum gears has broken a tooth and it doesn't work right anymore. I don't imagine Sears has parts for an older machine like this. What do you think is my best option for getting it fixed? Thanks, Machine Man
