Dayton Vertical Band Saw Model #3Z981

This guy says most Grizzly parts fit it and that it's a Delta knockoff....don't know if that helps...

Thanks SE, those are the parts. After digging thru ebay I did find a pair of table trunnions for $30.00, they don't have the miter gauge but that's easy enough to plot.

As far as the sliding upper wheel hinge/ blade tensioner, I'm going to do as Del suggests and manufacture my own out of steel. Can't believe they would use cheap cast aluminum for parts that are under the stress the tensioner is. Thanks again,

Dan

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be one of the many Troll's lurking here on CR4! Have a nice day, now go away, Please!

Sorry, I got no practical help, but it sounds like you have a great project for the holidays.
The top adjuster on my BAS 315 is made from sheet steel, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to fabricte something to do the job.
Good luck and suitable festive good wishes!

Thanks Del, it's turned into a project for sure. I only paid $40.00 (US) dollars for it, so I can put some money it

I've was toying with the idea of making a tensioner bracket out steel and you clinched for me. I've been able to piece the old one back together enough to cut the material for it's replacement. Otherwise, the saw is in good shape, all the bearing are quite and smooth, And, It even has new tyres on it!

Cheers,
