Purchased this band saw off of C-list. Was advertised as a 14", in fact it is a 12". No maker's name,
casting numbers, or serial number to be found on it. It has several interesting features. The tires
are leather. The bottom one needs to be re-glued and both need crowning. It looks like plenty of
meat (or shall I say skin) to try re-crowning. There is the possibility of adding a riser block. Currently
looks like 4" under the guides. A little difficult to determine exactly since the original table is missing.
Bearings are probably bronze. The top wheel has a spring loaded oil cap, not the usual flip type. The base
is 23" wide. The guides seem a bit novel to me too, but I have not seen enough to know. The "C" is bolted together and can accept a riser. The "feet are bolted to the lower frame section.
