Ripsaw Guide Beam Specs?

[FatSquirrel]

So I was able to pick up a Ripsaw with power head at an estate auction a while back, but the guide beams were nowhere to be found. It did come with the guide beam hardware though.

It looks like the manufacturer is out of business, so I can't get new ones there. It looks like I'll need to order some aluminum modify it to work for me, but I need to know the specifics.

The guide beam is 2" x 6" x 64", but what is the wall thickness? Going by the hardware, I'd guess 1/8".

Where are the holes for the hardware located? What are the diameters?

Thanks for any information you can offer.

Some one hear had one years ago. I haven't seen him post in years, can't remember his username. Pretty cool saw, good luck, Joe.

I don't use my ripsaw anymore, but we cut a lot of siding with it. Use standard strut with threaded rod for spacers.

The wall is 0.100" thick .
The holes on the side are 1/2" diameter .
There are four holes on one of the 2" sides and they are 1.25" and 4.25" from each end .
