My band saw has had some issues with the blade slipping past the lower thrust bearing. I've given up looking for the right parts for this saw so I'm having to make do. The thrust bearing is perpendicular to the blade, so the blade rests on the edge of the bearing. I am thinking an increasing the outside diameter of the bearing by about 1/16" would solve my problem but them I'm left to find a bearing with an inside diameter of 3/8" and an outside diameter of 1 1/4". Where would I find a bearing with those specific dimensions or another way to increase the diameter of my original thrust bearing.
