Burgess BK2 Bandsaw questions

[Mark-V]

Wow thanks Peter - that is interesting and useful as I want to try and get a longer belt and possibly another (or make one) drive wheel for low speed.

My BK2 actually had a BK3 side panel, held on with ties. With Alan´s help it now screws on. I also had a bag of spares from when a local toolshop had closed, which gave me spare wheels and a selection of original blades. Bearing Boys supplied the necessary shorter belt for slow speed running. Realistically, as with many machines, these things were assembled from a lot of industry standard parts and even if Burgess/Record still had them, are usually much cheaper.
