Burgess Powerline Bandsaw Bbs 20 Manual

USER'S MANUAL FOR POWERLINE BANDSAW BBS 20 MK11. Searspartsdirect.com has the manual for the 113.243310 band saw. (20-25 years) Daisy powerline 856.

I recently received a band saw by power line-burgess model BBS-20 mark 2 Does anyone happen to have its manual? Does anybody have any instructions on how to set the blade? Unfortunately I don't have the blade and belt and would like to know what is the blade size - length, width, thickness, number of teeth? What are the sizes of the belt? Is it possible to buy the plastic ring the saw passes through?

Is it possible to purchase any or all of these items? I would love to have websites or phone numbers of stores, and will appreciate any help.

Does anybody happen to know where was the band saw manufactured? Thank you very much Elkana. No longer in production so, apart from belts and blades, spares are difficult.

Thank you all for answering and helping. Since you have a similar device would you be kind enough to help me in the following questions? What is the right length of the blade in the catalogues it is written the length 1435 mm. I gave the device to a repair shop and they installed a 1446 mm length blade. What would be the correct length or does this device allow all sizes between these measures? What is the thickness of the material it is made of? In the device I got the 4 wheels (stoppers) are not connected to the body of the device.

Would it be possible to have a picture, drawing, explanation on how they should be attached, connected? Does the blade on its back side need to pass through the slot of the iron wheel? In my country it is difficult to manufacture 0.014 inch blades, I can manufacture iron wheels identical to those I have, in which there will be a slot that will allow 0.025 blades to pass trough. Would it harm or be problematic for the device to work properly? Do you happen to own a user manual?

Thank you very much for your help Elkana Hi, I was a rep for Burgess Products (Sapcote, Leicestershire) in the late 60s and 70s. The BBS20 in those days cost about £25.00.

We sold thousands of them. It was a great machine, and like many Burgess Products it was well ahead of its time, both in design and inovation.

It had its foibles though. Throwing its blade being the worst of them. There was a knack to setting one up properly though, and once done they worked very well. One tip; Once a curve has been cut with a bandsaw blade theset of the teeth changes. This makes it almost impossible to make a straight cut with a guide, and this has to be done by hand, giuding material through at an angle.

When I worked for the company in those days, if a customer had problems we would visit them and fix any problems they had. Can you imagine service like that these days?

Dan 10 articles I used one of these about 25 years ago. It would cut quite large sizes.

It did go a bit funny when cutting 3' thick limewood!!! Adjusting the tracking was not too bad. I se to remember one wheel had to be angled. I will see if I still have the manual out in my old workshop.

It is just faintly possible. SO'L 10 articles Did not find the manual. Sorry 57 1/2 inches by 1/4 Rutlands do the blades and belts Regards Chris Mine is nearly 40 years old and is still used more often than any other power tool I have. I don't have the manual,but I can measure the blade length and width for you. I don't use the guide - all done by hand to pencil/pen/scribed lines. If you find a blade, get a metal cutting blade - it will happily cut fibreglass sheet (PCB material), brass, copper, aluminium, mild steel up to about 16swg, but take it very slowly.

Proshivka aiwa 32le6020 headphones. It wont cut piano wire though - use a grinder. I haven't had a problem with throwing blades, but it doesn't like tight corners, this will break the blade, although my current blade is now 15 years old. It is superb for cutting balsa block and thick sheet, quite accureately if you make sure the table is level (it can be tilted). Martyn Do you still want a manual? I have just bought a machine and it has one I could copy?

Martin Thank you very much to all of you who answered my questions! I will be happy to receive a copy of the manual by e-mail or snail mail. Since I am a complete rookie in this field any information I can get is a tremendous help. In Israel there is no option of getting parts and almost impossible to get any information so I will be more than grateful (as you all are novice), if you could answer some of my questions. Thank you for the source where I can purchase blades for the saw is the right size 1435/56.5 or 57 as one of the writers mentioned? Which blades should I buy?

Width, no of teeth, manufacturer? Basically I am planning of making small accessories and wooden toys for my grandchildren, a child chair and such and not “real” heavy furniture. The materials I will be using are 21mm plywood, wood up to 50mm thick and soft metal pipes about 10mm and materials thinner than 1mm. Can I buy and where can I buy the plastic disk the blade passes through and the fence or stopper that sets the distance and angle of cutting?
