1953 Craftsman 18” Bandsaw, made by Parks and introduced in 1949. Running a 1 HP 1750 RPM 230 volts with a 2” pulley at the motor and a 7” at the saw. The saw was originally set up with a jack shaft configuration to cut metal (2” to 12” to 2” to 7” for metal and 7” to 7” to 2” to 7” for wood) shown in last picture but removed and stored away during restoration.
