Went to this clearing sale to get a bunch of milling cutters, passed up several large items that went for ridiculously low bids, due to the fact that I did not have the trailer with me and I didn't want to have to make a second trip to collect stuff. Near the end of the day my willpower must have been ebbing, no-one seemed interested in this old bandsaw so I resigned myself to a second trip. Brought it home today along with a drayload of mill cutters, lathe tools and sundries.
Haven't spotted any maker's name on it yet, I think Noah might have used it for the metal bits on the Ark. No doubt it would be operable as is with a new blade (of which there is the remains of a roll that came with it) but will give this a freshen up and rewire before using. Have never owned a bandsaw so am looking forward to getting familiar with it and being able to cut metal without showering myself in hot sparks and burning my hands.
