Another School shop auction purchase.
Late Big Badge 30” Direct drive Bandsaw.
I took a lot of photos of the restoration process but unfortunately, I forgot to take many after finishing the task. Completely restored. New paint, tires, bearings, and guides.
This saw was a real pleasure to use and does a great job at resawing.
I recently sold the saw and placed it on a truck headed for its new home.
But I have another like it awaiting restoration.
