Pics would help 1000x. I'm going to WAG that some flat bar and a couple of welds, drill and tap holes and you're back in business. There's also the option of going to "V" guides like bigger saws but thats somewhat more involved.

I would look through Grainger, McMaster, or something similar. A lot of bandsaw blades are of a mixed Bronze alloy and tough as hell.

That's an easy (steel) fabrication job via welding or brazing.
