Rockwell Bandsaw

It's a great price for any Rockwell (Delta) machine that tracks a band. If the band doesn't track then it's a project machine.

It being a friend you'd think he wasn't steering you the wrong way, right?

Not a prob.

Keeter, why are you behaving lately? (Or did I miss a dig somewhere in the past week? I don't read all the threads, nor ALL (or many) of YOUR posts). I hesitate to assume you've turned over a new leaf. I expect you to return to form. :) (Lure tossed in, waiting for a bite...)

I have a rockwell bandsaw built in 1951 (I called Delta with the serial number to find out). When I got it I replaced the tires, and all the bearings, and I've not had a problem with it yet. I am considering replacing the tension spring, though.

The miter guage that came with the BS has been hanging on a nail for 9 years, unused. Most blade have lead angle cutting and I've not found a use for a miter guage. Maybe to keep the economy going? Also, you may want a good fence like Mule or

I've got what might be the same saw. It's about 30 years old, and works perfectly. From all appearances, it seems to be a Delta, as all Delta accessories fit it.

The one I have has an extra set of pullies to allow it to run at high or low speed, which is nice when going between the wood and the metal-cutting blades. Mine also has rollers built into the bottom, push on a foot pedal to lower them, roll saw to destination, raise the wheels & so on.

I'd price a Delta of the same specs & grade, and if the delta is more than $450, I'd buy the Rockwell for the $300 he wants. The current Delta saws have swing-out doors over the wheels where my Rockwell has nuts that come off to remove the doors, and some other minor differences, but nothing that makes it any less useful.
