Milwaukee Band Saw Metal Bumper
Model Number: 42-38-0032
The Milwaukee 42-38-0032 is a genuine OEM Metal Bumper for compatible Milwaukee band saws — a metal stop or bumper component that limits or cushions the travel of a moving band saw element at a defined position during the saw's operating or blade change cycle. Metal bumpers in band saws serve specific positional functions — providing a hard stop for the blade tension or blade guide mechanism at a defined travel limit, protecting the saw housing or structural components from direct metal-to-metal impact at the travel limit position, and maintaining the correct mechanical geometry of the blade guide or tension system by establishing a precise stop point throughout the saw's service life. When the metal bumper is deformed from repeated impact loading, cracked, or missing, the mechanism it stops may overtravel its intended limit — potentially damaging adjacent components or changing the blade guide geometry that determines cutting accuracy.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM metal bumper ensures the correct material, dimensions, and mounting interface for the specific Milwaukee band saw model and mechanism location it is designed for — a bumper with incorrect dimensions would either not stop the mechanism at the correct travel limit or would contact the mechanism before it reaches its intended operating position. Always verify your specific Milwaukee band saw model number and serial number at milwaukeetool.com before ordering bumper service components, as specifications vary between Milwaukee band saw models and production revisions.
