Abstract
Abstract Self-adjusting band saw roller guide comprises a yoke having a pair of opposed legs with guide roller thereon. At least one of the rollers is carried by an eccentric sleeve bearing rotatably mounted on a leg of the yoke. A torque spring means mounted on the yoke engages the eccentric sleeve bearing and urges the roller to a predetermined position.
