Craftsman 12" Band Saw Guide -103.24260 Replacement Ball Bearing Guide good

You have found a Replacement Ball Bearing Guide for your Craftsman Saw!

PLEASE: Observe the “WILL ITFIT?” picture

This is an all steel aftermarket ball bearing upper guide made specifically for the Sears Craftsman 12” band saws 103.0103, 103.24250 , 103.24260,103.24280, and 113.24261

This guide installs with a ¼” socket head screw up the center of the post.


This guide will improve the accuracy, performance, blade life while providing a smoother running saw. It eliminates the metal-on-metal wear of guide blocks and the constant need of adjustment in an effort to control the blade.

This upper guide provides the majority of control for the blade as it enters the material. Because the blade is virtually locked straight ahead.

A manual is included for adjusting blade tension, blade tracking, installation and adjusting, etc.

Benefits over other setups:

· No aluminum or die cast parts

· No scraping along the side of a backup bearing

· Formed/ welded Steel construction

· All the moving parts are easily replaceable

· Grade 8 Fasteners

· Precision ball bearings are lubricated and sealed

· The installation and adjustment are simple

Hand made IN THE USA!

NOTICE: When you click “BUY IT NOW” you are confirming that you have measured your saw and the measurements and/or appearance match those on the “WILL IT FIT” pictures.

Howard Ray Tool
What is your craft? Our craft is making these guides…to support your passion.
Others offer guides with components made by machines. Probably hundreds of parts at a time…focused on volume.
The Howard Ray Ball Bearing Guide is made completely by hand…probably like whatever you plan to make.
We start with sheet steel, shear it, and hand form each individual blank before we individually, hand weld your guide. Why? Because we are good focused on workmanship, not high volume.
