    Ex-Cell-O 602 Ram Turret Milling Machine Oil Seal(s)

    If you get stuck for the bearings, you can also try H&W repair out of the states. They sell rebuild kits for 602s, so they might stock and be willing to sell you the bearings you're missing. Rebuilding my 602 is on the list of things I haven't got to yet...

    Tool Tangential tool holders.

    Machine KMS/MAGNUM 4x6 metal bandsaw - check your blades!

    Machine KMS/MAGNUM 4x6 metal bandsaw - check your blades!

    I've tried welding band saw blades together in the past with mixed results. It's definitely pretty finicky. On the other hand, I've actually been pretty content with the 56-5/8" bi-metal blades from Princess Auto for my 4x6 bandsaw. Might tide you over until the custom cut ones come in.
