We've seen a couple of band saws referenced here and there with a Frank E Jones name plate affixed. I did an online search for as many examples as I could find to fill out our knowledge base somewhat.

This set of images was found on the auction site of "Public Surplus", dating to April 2012. See http://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/auction/view?auc=704445. The saw had been located at the Seattle Community College - Wood Construction Center, in Seattle, Washington.

The saw appears to be the same machine which was listed for sale in January 2016 on the Seattle CL site (based on the presence of the unusual table tilt scale on both machines). See the Frank E. Jones photo entry number 25123.


True manufacturer of these saws is not known. Some OWWM and VM members have suggested that it may have been Rodgers Machinery Manufacturing Co. (aka Rodgers Production Machinery) also of Los Angeles.
