Off of CL in the Seattle area. Need help identifying it. Think it is a Heston and Anderson 16" band saw. Can anyone help with more information? February 20th, thanks for the help identifying this old iron, nothing definitive yet. Added some more pictures and will be done with it soon. Yes, the wheels do measure 16".
The big difference from everyone else is the blade height adjustment and the clamping device for the table trunnion. Has needle type roller bearings that are oil lubed by a simple reservoir system. The wheels are 16" in diameter and 1" wide.
There is a group who feel the saw was a 16" prototype by Heston and Anderson that never went into production. Cool huh?

Thanks, Bud
