I had been looking for a larger 18-20" band saw, but I was struggling to find what I was looking for. I came across this beauty on CL for a steal at $160 so I decided that I had found myself a band saw. At first I thought I would just use it till I found something bigger, but after looking it over I don't know if I'll ever be able to make myself replace it.

The seller said his dad had worked for an auctioneer and brought the BS home one day when it went through auction without getting any bids. He was not certain his dad had ever actually used it, but it sat in his workshop for quite a few years. Its going to be used now!

Edit: it got used for a few weeks and performed like a champ. I found an 18" Parks that will be taking this shop space. It's too bad this beauty isn't bigger.

Comments: Several decals on this machine, and "Delta" was cast into every component that was big enough. They didn't want you mistaking the mfg.
