a 14" bandsaw

Project by woodb1 posted 148 days ago 714 views 0 times favorited 16 comments Add to Favorites Watch

God blessed me with this 14” bandsaw. I seen it on craigslist for 50.00. I couldn’t believe how good it was. The man was a older man so he took very good care of it . He bought it new in 1989. He said it hadn’t been used in 5 years. All I had to do is make a few adjustments. and it run like a top. I’m so blessed,i can’t believe it.

I think I could have gotten 14 of these for what I paid for mine. This of course is a once in a lifetime deal, so I guess it would have taken me 14 lifetimes too. Great find.

Call this one the deal of the decade. I picked up a 14 inch jet last year with a riser block for 225.00 at an estate sale and I thought I was stealing it. You certainly got a great deal.

-- Keith, Bolingbrook, Illinois. How did you do that? I just started with a bunch of wood and cut away anything that's not part of the finished piece...

One of the top tools in my shop. Don’t know what I’d do without it. Mine is going on it’s third motor. Great score! I got mine for fifty dollars, twenty five years ago. I found a Delta.

i’ll give you $60 bucks for it, but that’s my last offer !! Seriously a great deal, that’ll only improve by the enjoyment that you get from making your own creations with your new tool.
