Well, I'm going to go take a peek at an antique bandsaw I happened to stumble onto. I won't actually be able to go for about two weeks, as the owners are going out of town... but I'd be curious to hear some input. Unfortunately, I don't have any information besides a picture of it, so... might be a frivolous topic XP Still, I'm antsy, and any way to make progress is better than sitting and waiting!
I don't know too much about bandsaws, let alone antiques like this behemoth. What sort of things should I be looking for?
This one seems to be missing its table... but, I suspect that wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to fabricate a replacement for it? I can weld, and am a blacksmith, so I'm accustomed to working with steel... Also looks like, if I value my life, I'd have to make a cage for around the belt, lest it break and do to me what it does to steel :P
Can anyone identify, and tell me a bit about it based solely on this picture?
Thanks!
