Bill, here's a couple of shots of the blade guides I made for the 9 x 17 bandsaw I made.
I bought Torrington eccentric stud roller guides for the blade sides and just used regular ball bearings for the rear.
Regarding my previous post. I just figure most metal cutting band saws use direct of postive drive coupling to the drive wheel because of the slower speed, as in,
slow speed belt drive = slippage.
