I purchased this bandsaw in Elora.

The base is not original. Castings are heavily ribbed aluminum. I'm told the company was a home-based business by a Hamilton pattern maker. The patterns are beautiful, but the flashing on the castings could be ground better.

A simple, lovely little bandsaw, but takes abnormal blade size.
