Comments:
Bolt-on planetary gear reducer for bandsaw. NOS purchase from that online auction site (I was the only bidder). Works well on a 14” bandsaw, though clearly a fairly light-duty mechanism. Gear reduction engaged by pulling knob out. Pushing knob in locks out gearing for high speed running. Prolonged running results in it throwing a little oil.
