Up To Date Machine Works 12" C-Frame Bandsaw
Made in the 1920's-1930's
Has Bronze Bushings and oil Fill Cap for upper wheel

Previous Owner added there own cover for the wheels but it was very ugly so I took it off. Runs very strong and I love the lower back wheel guide. It keeps the blade from moving back to much.
I think the other Lt thing missing was the rubber for the lower wheel but it ran very well.

Comments: Very easy to tension the blade no wobble very solid because of the cast iron frame I'm assuming
