Description:
For sale is a heavy-duty, industrial Yates-American Y36 36-inch band saw. This is the highly sought-after "Snowflake" model, named for the ornate, spoked cast-iron wheels that are a hallmark of pre-WWII American machinery.
This particular unit has incredible provenance, featuring an original U.S. Navy (U.S.N.) inventory tag, suggesting it served in a naval shipyard or repair facility. It also retains its original, raised-letter Yates-American cast-iron emblem.
Features & Specs:
• Wheels: 36" Diameter with the iconic "Snowflake" spoked design (intact).
• Frame: Massive one-piece cast iron—no visible cracks or welds.
• Provenance: Original U.S. Navy brass inventory tags and manufacturer emblem.
• Motor: Large rear-mounted industrial motor (likely 3-phase).
• Condition: "As-Is" / Project. The machine is structurally complete with a heavy patina/surface rust. I have not tested the motor or bearings; it is being sold in unknown working condition.
• Weight: Approximately 3,500 – 4,000 lbs.
Note to Buyers:
This is a "forever" machine for a collector or a timber framer. These saws are famous for their vibration-free operation once restored. It is missing some minor guards/covers common for this age, but the "bones" are exceptional. |
