Recently I purchased a 14″ bandsaw (model 3300) made by Beaver Power Tools of Guelph, Canada. A small light commercial fabricating business was liquidating all of its equipment and I bought it at a good price…I think. The tool looks like it may have been built in the 50’s/60’s. It is constructed of cast aluminum, appears to be very solid, and cuts very well. It is in very good shape but I would like to replace (instead of machine) a couple of parts that appear a little worn. Here’s the catch…
I associate with a reasonably large group of furniture/cabinet makers, comm/res contractors and woodworkers yet all I get are strange looks when I tell them of my purchase. I can’t find anything of the web and local tool stores can’t help either.
Has anyone heard of the brand? Where I can get parts?

I wouldn't sweat the parts too badly. Tires and guides can be gotten from http://www.carterproducts.com and other parts can be repaired by welding or having them fabbed at a machine or sheet metal shop. If this is a big problem for you then sell it before it breaks and buy something you know you can get parts for.

Appears Rockwell stuff might work.
