Craigs list find. Crescent 20” Band Saw with a 3 phase 1 HP Marathon motor. I installed a 1HP VFD to convert my single phase electric to 3 phase to power the old Marathon motor. I’ve completed a partial restoration of the saw including new upper and lower thrust bearings, new urethane tires, new brake and motor springs, and lower guide blocks made from UHMW plastic. After sanding and priming the saw I sprayed several coats of Rustoleum Dark Machine Gray. The metal hardware was polished. I use this saw primarily for re-sawing and it works great.
