This bandsaw started its life at a company by the name of "Clyde Engineering" in Sydney, Australia. The company manufactured railway carriages and was one of the biggest businesses in Australia at the time, so large, the suburb in which it was situated was later given the companys' name.The bandsaw was sold approx. 1970, then sold again in 1990 to the man we purchased it from in 2005. There are a few bits missing but nothing that inhibits its operation,its cut is very smooth and the machine is so quiet, I have a much newer but smaller machine and it literally screams when cutting timber. My ultimate goal would be to get it back to original but am not too optimistic, simply because parts would be impossible to source.
