I have a Dewalt heavy duty deep cut portable bandsaw, which has about a 4" throat, and is designed for cutting down through things like pipes or angles.  It has guide wheels that give the blade a roughly 45 degree twist so that the saw is not limited by the length of the item that is being cut.  So here is the question:  does anyone know of an alternate set of guide wheels that will allow the blade to remain un-twisted with respect to the lay of the rest of the blade?

thanks!

You are referring to the DWM120K?  What is the benefit you are looking to gain from de-articulating the band? 

I wouldn't recomend altering/changing those bearings, as they are a big benifit to the DeWALT.  DeWALT uses 8 individual bearings, instead of the standard 4.  This helps the whole mechanism last longer.
