I purchased this bandsaw off Offerup for $100 in early 2021. The previous owner had it mounted to a cabinet type tool stand with a dual phase motor and a drum sander. I later purchased another (nearly same) 103.24261 band saw for $75.00 off FB marketplace with a pedestal stand. I gave the bandsaw to a friend and kept the pedestal stand for this build. I completely rebuilt the bandsawand motor and fabricated an additional column motor mount. I modified an original Craftsman Power Pak for grounded wiring and added a 15:1 Falk worm gear to bring my speed down to 141 SFPM for cutting metal. I also fabricated a vintage looking light for the build.
