This is my shop band saw. All castings are Meehanite. It is 20" but a unique feature is the table can be rotated and longer stock cut. Vise is quick acting with lever. The vise can be rotated for angle cuts. Entire vise can be removed with one cap screw. Gravity feed with an automatic stop. All bearings are flood lubricated except top which is greased. Wheels 20" with 1" face. Upper wheel use cup and cone ball bearings. Mine has 4 speeds 100 to 300 fpm. It appears that the table was machined flat with a planer. Here is link to thread that shows more detailed parts: http://www.owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=168004.
