I acquired this beautiful 14" vertical bandsaw from my local University maintenance shop. It saw little use there so it took very little work to refurb back to factory fresh condition. It runs smooth and very quiet ... in fact you can't hardly hear it running in the shop if the radio is on!

Comments: Only made one change to this saw after a quick refurb ... added a 4" dust collector port and elbow as I primarily use this for wood cutting

Comments: When I got it home, took the saw off the base for a quick power wash and inspection. Basically like new!
