Does anyone know if replacement plastic blade guides are available for a Nobex Champion 180 miter saw? Lately I’ve noticed the saw is off by about two degrees. There’s no truing adjustments that I can see so assuming the plastic guides, which seem a little loose from years of use have just gotten worn out. I couldn’t find anything online that mentions replacements.

Lee Valley stocks this saw. They may have what you need or know were to get it.
Hey Owen10,
How do you like your Nobex saw? I am in the market for a hand miter saw and have been comparing Nobex to vintage. What say you?
I actually called Lee Valley today and they had no line on replacement guides. Love the saw but those guides seem to be it's weak link.
I love the saw. I bought it about 6 years ago and it's been great. If I can find some replacement saw guides, I'll love it all over again. It's a little spendy but well worth the money. Spoil yourself. You're worth it.
Thanks Owen. Ordering one in the AM.
You won't regret it. Watch the blade. You can do surgery with it it it's so sharp.
Highland Woodworking also sells the saw. Found a parts list (link below). If the parts you need are not listed/shown, point out what you need and I'll search some more. Apparently, Noblex makes different tools, so reaching them directly if needed shouldn't be too difficult. Also, reach out to Highland. Maybe they have the parts or know how to get them.

Thank you for sending the parts breakdown. I'll give Highland a call and see if they have the replacement blade guides. Really appreciate the leg work you did!
