Looking to have some parts built for a saw, they are guide pulleys, double headed rotate 360 degrees and guide a wire through. The price hilti charges is wildly crazy. Any machine shops do custom builds like this. Not worried about the stand just the double guide wheels. Just looking for some one to contact.

What wears out on them? The wheel itself or would it be possible to just put new bearings in them if that’s what goes? What are they made out of?

Wheels bearings the hole 9 is replaceable. Its has a diamond wire running through it at 40 meters a second. They are 8 inch round wheels with deep v shapes that just guide my wire. The double heads both rotate 360 degrees so I can change direction on my wire. It’s kind of hard to explain over short text. You tube concrete wire saw cutting and that’ll show you what it’s doing. Nothing is wrong with the ones I have, I have 6 already but want 4 to 6 more. Hiliti wants 5500 a piece and I can’t believe they can’t be replicated for 1/3 of that. Hoping to drop the hilti stamp and save 3k a pop.
I have both aluminum and steel ones.
This is a idea of what they do in action. I’m cutting a 28 ft long 40 inch tall footing in one cut. My 2 double pulleys are stepping my wire down 5 ft from my machine above mounted to the slab. I’m also changing the direction around a corner with another set.

The shop I retired from would be able to build for you. I don’t know off hand what shops in your area could do this. To do it right, the shop would need dimensioned drawings to build from. These drawings or CAD models, could be drawn up by the shop, if you furnished sample pieces which you wanted duplicated. This of course would add to your final cost.

Having 4 to 6 made is much more cost effective than just replicating a single.
I’ll message you a name and a phone number. If he isn’t interested he may be able to steer you to another shop.

Thank you Dave, I appreciate it very much so. If the price is right I’d take 10 to 12 honestly just to have them. I’m just leaving the jobsite so I will be making that call in the am. If all works out I have a few other specialty things built. Much easier tasks then the double pulleys. I’m far from a computer guy, for finding CADs but I’d happily drop one off and give them all the details from hilti.
Got a name so I can tell him who will be calling? 
I already sent him a photo.
May want to see what you can get these for.

No, sketchy India and Chinese companies usually don’t send quality equipment. I’ll rather have them made by a reputable shop.
There is alot of companies that make junk blades, wires, tools and so on. They are topping the list.
But thanks for looking around munchy.
