I did not really understand your comment kizerpea. A closer look at your avatar and your projects reveals that you have in fact, been there; done that. http://lumberjocks.com/projects/56803 You already rehabbed this beauty’s sister!

Looks like a decorative piece… I wouldn’t want to be near that thing when its running. For the money you’d spend to refurb it you could buy a nice new bandsaw. Kinda looks cool where it is if you asked me. |

Wrong, one can not buy a new saw of that size for less then the cost of repairing that old saw. I do feel alittle sorry for todays consumer, and the pure crap they buy at the box store-because it has a warranty and customer support. Its gotta be good, because I saw it in a magazine-good reviews, and it has a laser! All kidding aside, saws like that are serious machine tools, made to work. |

No way can you buy a new saw that size for less than it would take to get that one up an running. Finding/making parts could be a challenge, but well worth someone’s time and energy. -- Fredj |

Some crazy comments here – it is definitely NOT scrap metal. It’s a piece of history and if all the important pieces are there (and even if one or two are missing) it deserves a restoration. I could see it in a forest green with red pin striping and gold lettering. |
