This is a Tannewitz GH bandsaw. I acqiured it from an equipment dealer in Jasper, IN. I don't know where he got it. It had some auction tags on it. I did nothing to it but roll it into the shop put it back together and wire it up. It is a dream to operate. The origional mechanical brake had been removed and it was refitted with an electric one.
The patent dates are in the picture and range from 1925-1943. The motor is a slow start with a speed of 900rpm. It takes as long for the machine to get up to speed as it does for the blade to stop.

Videos of it running can be seen here:
