Got this early WT bandsaw from a local guy who had listed it on CL. It is pretty complete, and has only a few modifications. The PO made a new motor mount for it by welding some 3/4 bar stock to a piece of sheet metal. It works fine, but the original would have been oriented vertically, rather than horizontal. Also, the table tilt mechanism has been brazed, as is common with these saws. It has the original cast base, the left hand blade guard, and the original guides. Missing the right hand blade guard and a belt guard. Came with a 1/2 horse Wagner motor with some cheep pot metal pulleys. From what I've gathered, this saw uses 115" bands, and is designed to run at 2,900 ft/min. It has a resaw capacity of about 12".
