Got Myself A Craftsman Horizontal Bandsaw

[tr7sprint1]

I bought one of those 3d printed gears just for a spare. It looks very good. While i've not used it, I've read of others who have and it worked fine.

ndnchf,

do you remember the 3D printer company name that you purchased the spare gear from?

That will save many more of these band saws.

Thanks

Here is a link to the website and some photos, I hope. I was skeptical about how long one of these might last, but after a couple years, I detect no wear. I went ahead and bought a spare anyway. https://www.shapeways.com/search?q=Crafftsman+Bevel+Gear&type=

Rather than pay a hefty amount for this gear as Shapeways is charging people almost $50 for it and wait time is 3 weeks or more myself and a member of another forum have made a 3d stl model file for it and now you can have the option of printing it at home at a friends house or at a local 3d print shop. I checked around in my area and average charge locally was around $25. choose abs or petg for your media selection. feel free to contact me for it I will provide it free of charge I tried posting it but it wont allow me to post an stl file and since Im new I cant post a direct link to it either. Also an ifyi the gear provided by Shapeways was reverse engineered and isn't quite right. the file I have was drawn and modeled from the original Clausing print for this gear while it allows me to attach the print it will not allow a .STL file. hope this helps people to continue to maintain and keep there saws running for a lot longer

Do any of you Fellas know where i can find a replacement upper band drive gear ???

What part is that? From this exploded view.

Cutting oil is my blood.

It’s the bevel gear and band saw pulley all built in one. The illustration you show is incorrect for my 101-22901 horizontal saw.
i bought the saw used unknowing it was abused, cracking the cast aluminum hub. I have not been able to find a replacement anywhere…..Sears shows the gear and band combo are obsolete and not in stock anywhere.
I will take a picture of the gear tomorrow morning and post it to this thread.
Thanks for responding…..

Got you! I remade mine as the teeth were shot. Unfortunately I no longer have access to CNC mill to make it. I might have a MasterCam file or STP on a thumb drive.
