Hi Bob,
Like your upper blade guides, ball races give nice support better then the original brass ones, what type of bandwheels is it on plastic or alloy? those parts shoud be with you in the next day or two i would think. they had been in the garage for a few years, hope you can make use of something.

I think Bill was referring to the comments that he made in this post. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=7318.msg78339#msg78339

Nice job on the bandsaw.
