Thanks for investigating this Gordon l suppose the question would be if after
purchasing a blade and fence guide and we fire it up ( if indeed it does ) will
we then be faced with other problems with the operation of the machine ?. As
you quite rightly say we will need to be a bit more cautious in the future. My
view is that it is not worth the chance.

Chaps,
Ive been looking at the donated Performance Power band saw that needs a
blade.
The replacement blade is approx £15.00 delivered.
We would also need to make a fence/guide of some kind to fit the
pressed steel bed.
Bearing in mind the fence is missing and that this is a very cheap
basic band saw equivalent to approx £80 from Aldi.
Latest models are 350w this is 250w.
Is it worth buying the blade?
As an aside, we need to look at tools a bit more closely when they are
donated to make sure all the bits are there and that there are no
obvious faults.
