Recently purchased this saw for $200. Cuts true and works great. In researching its history I was thrown by the fact that it didn't match the photos any other "craftsman" bandsaws posted. I finally figured out it was a Walker Turner by the process of elimination. I looked at all of the photos of 16 inch bandsaws posted on this site. My theory was confirmed when I read Mr. Vaughn's articles in Fine Woodworking.
