I had been looking for a 20" bandsaw or larger for a while and this saw came up on e--y. There was no Mgf. given in the description but said 36" Bandsaw 3ph 5hp. I paid $610. just about a year ago. My wife and I drove to Louisville,Ky to pich
k up the Saw.
The same seller was selling a Crescent 14" TS and the B.M. Root boring machines ( I'll do these later.)
The picture with me in it shows the height of 8'-5" I stand 6'-1" I dont have the Iron table for it. The saw came out of a ladder factory in Mich. There was an aluminum 3/4" plate for a table and a 1/3hp power feeder on it.So any help on a table would be appreciated.
