Blade brush for the band saw

That's what I meant, Mark. I changed blades on mine last night and noticed the blade has pressed a groove in the center from where it has been riding. The blade sinks pretty far into the brush's wire bristles. Last night was the first time I opened the back and I found some chips in there, but not bad after using it for a year.

The brush holder on mine isn't near as pretty as the one you made. :)

yea, the brush lasts about a year. I just have the brush touch the blade enough to turn it. The brush lasts longer that way.
 
I agree and I have no idea where to get a replacement brush. The brush on mine is not adjustable. It is sprung loaded mounted on a sheet metal bracket.

I got a set of 4 brushes and used the 1 inch one. they have a 1/4" hole and come in a 1,2,3,4" set. I got from Northern Tool Co. for $2 a set.
