If you have information to add to this entry, please contact the Site Historian.

In 1947 Macair Corp. was making a 14" bandsaw. That year, ads for the bandsaw appeared in issues of Home Craftsman and The Wood-Worker, "Allen E. Dale Sales Corp., National Distributors". The ads only appeared in 1947, so far as we can tell, and today the saws are very uncommon.
