I need a drive pulley for my 12" table top Duracraft vertical 2 speed band saw, model #VS-312, mfg date 1983. Any info on parts will be appreciated.

Is this company still in business? Do you have a location on the tool (where it's made).

When I tried "www.duracraft.com" it directed me to Honeywell's home page. Hmmmm.....

I just bought the same saw w/ new blade on Craigslist for $15.00. It was throwing the blade.
The tire on the drive wheel was missing, and all 3 of the bushings (bearings were worn out.
I made new stainless steel bushings at work, and found a guy near me who makes urethane bandsaw tires. I bought a set of 3 tires for $26.00. After re-assembling it and making a few adjustments, It runs like a new one.
After having it apart, it appears that I could make any piece the saw needs. If you need a drive wheel, I could probably make one or repair your old one? We can talk.

Nick, I'd like to discuss your offer to make parts. My old Duracraft bandsaw needs new tires, but if you can make wheels that don't need them, I'll go that route. Or if there are tires from some source, I'll try that, too. Do you or anyone else have suggestions? It's for the model BBS 412 that has three 5-3/4" wheels. thanks, Wyatt
