I have a 9" Delta Band saw Model 28-150. I over tightened the blade breaking the tension bracket (Part 1341597). I've searched the internet for a replacement part with no luck. The part is listed as obsolete with no mention of a replacement part.

Does anyone know of a source for this tension bracket.

Regards
Ben

No longer available, and back ordered? Good luck. If you have a friend with a machine shop, I don't think it would be that hard to make one.

I have one of those bandsaws and had the same issue several years ago. Makes me wish I had ordered 2 when they were still available! Probably sell it for parts or trash it, if it breaks again!

I had that same band saw, and the exact same thing happened. The piece of metal that broke was very soft and not very strong.

I ended up replacing the band saw with a 14" Grizzly. Looks like you found a replacement part, for the Delta. I would STRONGLY recommend detensioning the blade after each day of usage to keep the strain off that piece.

Thanks to all for the usual good advise. I E-mailed Renco to ensure that they can deliver.
They have responded that they deal directly with the original manufacturer of the part and that they have a order in progress. We'll see.

Meanwhile I'm going to disassemble the saw to extract the broken part. I'll attempt to put it back together with JB-Weld.

For those of you folks that might not be aware of this product, it is a two part epoxy adhesive which is readily available in most automotive parts supply store.

jb weld will not hold this, why not take it to a welding shop and see if it can be welded , if pop metal you are out of luck may be diecast of some sort, ? but jb will not work, i have used it, you can hack saw ect but i don't think the strength is \their ,

I stared out over 40 years ago I bought all Taiwan tools and. After a few years I decided I wanted all the good stuff . So I bought all Delta equipment and I was not happy with any of it I could find fault with every piece of it . I have slowly gotten rid of most of it . I still have a drill press the shaft with the handles to push the drill bit down with was hollow and the lever shaft handle only had two threads in the hollow portion which seemed to be cast because it just broke out . So I drilled a big hole in the end of the hollow part . So I put some liquid steel out of a tube inside the hollow hub. And it is still useable this way . It looks like a piece of crap . And there has been other parts of plastic that have broken and had to be made out of something better . Have any of you others out there had any kind of trouble like this with your Delta equipment ?

That is why I am not real happy with Delta it seems like they can make a decent machine and then put a piece of crap in it that is going to break . I had all Delta at one time but I am slowly get rid of it . There is better equipment out there . Gene

delta Part 1341597 found

I found 2600 of these discontinued/obsolete parts....... never guess where..... DELTA themselves. But of course they didn't even know they had them until I complained to management. Well you can place the order at 877-832-4301. I might suggest you buy two just in case. This part is the tension bracket for delta bandsaws model #s: BS100, 28-150, SM400, BS150LS, and BS28-180. Hope this helps a few frustrated people out there

I know this is an old thread, but it looks as if Leonidas and possibly others still need this. I just broke my Tensioner bracket for my Delta BS100, So I modeled one up and 3d printed it in polycarbonate filament. I just started what I feel will be the final revision of it. I have made a few design improvements to help strengthen the area where it breaks and to compensate for it being plastic, although a durable one. Stay tuned, and please let me know if you are interested in printing one for yourself. I will post the file somewhere.

Is the part number 1341598? If so, would you be interested in selling me one? I purchased a BS100 and the blade was extremely loose. I adjusted the tension slightly and when I manually turned the sheave the blade was still loose but all of the sudden it may have went tight and the support bracket broke. Seemed to be cheaply made.

G'day @cah027 , welcome to the forum.

Good to have an alternate way to solve a problem.

Very nice work. I don't want to be a nay-sayer, but the proof of the pudding is whether it will actually hold up under blade tension. Otherwise, it's form over function. I'd love to be proved wrong, so looking forward to followup.

I am right there with you on wondering if it will hold up under the tension. So far it has, but it's only been a couple of days and zero use except for a few cuts for testing. Another reason why I used polycarbonate. It's about the toughest filament a consumer level printer can print. Also, the design modification around the hole where the pen goes helps.

During the design and prototype process I had failures with the main threaded rod hole busting while taping the threads. I may need to enlarge the printed hole so that the tap doesn't cut as much material.
