Huh, so, the plural of bandsaw is bandsaw. It's like "moose".

I like those cast-base Walker-Turners -- is that a 16"?
Designed by one of the Deco brothers I believe, maybe Art?Comment

According to the Vintage Machinery site, that saw weighs in at 920 pounds with the base and motor.
Yes it is a 16" of the infamous Serial Number 22-639 variety.
I will most likely receive the saw in late April.Rattling the teacups.Comment

Re: come on dude, you already own like six bandsaws
I'm envious, I've only got five.
In my defence, I have two workshops, and two of the bandsaws are for cutting metals.
But I'd like one like that Walker Turner 16in, I've a 12 among my collection and now that its got new tyres and guide blocks its a little sweetie.
Just have to make a new guard for above the top guide set. That one needs the same, its very easy to brush the blade with your knuckles in that area.

It likely will be, when I get it set up. The pic Pless posted is not of my saw.

The thing about the older US woodworking machines is that, aside from very robust designs, they had lots of very high quality iron (Meehanite), and they were not afraid to use it.
The result is, in this case, a band saw for the millennia. Literally.
If the replacement wear parts are available, that saw will cut wood continuously for thousands of years.Rattling the teacups.Comment

I'd need a saw too of course.......One of the most enduring qualities of an old wooden boat is the smell it imparts to your clothing.Comment
