Ex Navy WWII era band saw in salvageable condition. Mechanical work included new upper
bearings, blanchard ground tables, reworked brake shoes, wheels balanced with new tires.
Paint work was extensive-Major parts blasted back to metal. Main casting was stripped
chemically and casting defects received body filler. The metals were acid etched, primed
with high build, and topcoated with industrial Imron in Oliver teal. The Oliver badge
is NOS and the scales and dealer tag were restored as well. Many thanks to Rich Fink
@ Eagle Machinery who was of great assistance on this project.This is my all time
favorite machine and well worth the time and energy she took to restore.
