Band saw at auction

[swalker]

A serious band saw at some price

Not sure what it weighs but I am guessing it would take more than 2 people to move it.

I'm guessing it would take 2 people just to move the *blade*. ;-)

I saw a Big one - set up with the wheels left and right - and the wheels looked 48-60" in diameter. Big. Carbide teeth and it slices blocks of limestone out of large slabs. Any size is possible so it seems - but there must be some due to the wheel structure.

[John Grossbohlin]

Same size as my Crescent... Yes, I need help to move it!

Company is still in business - call them up and ask :-)

(incidently, that means if anyone does buy this thing, and it needs parts, they're apparently available).

Note that you're probably going to need to learn to weld bandsaw blades if you get that saw, since off-the-shelf blades in that size probably don't exist.

Band mills for cutting logs into lumber can be huge. A 10 foot wheel spinning a 3 foot wide blade wouldn't be extreme. Plain steel blades for lumber, tho - sharpen and set them just like any other saw blade.

Or have them custom made, by Highland or such...

$55 for a 3/4" blades up to 248"

it must say on the details what it weighs

also they charge 15% for what i am not sure

maybe it is for that retro web site
