I searched for an OWWM band saw for a year before finding this one in Spring Valley, SoEast of San Diego. The machine has been in storage for several years and seems to be in good working order with no missing parts. I purchased the saw from Tanner cabinet shop, a father and 2 son operation that uses modern CNC machines to produce cabinets & store fixtures. A previous owner is known to be GF Wick Co in San Diego. The machine was disassembled for transportation with the C arm/base layed on its back in a trailer and braced in place with plywood and dunnage. The machine would probably run and be functional with 3ph power applied to it. I will clean everything for painting and replace bearings as needed. Modifications will be to build a piano dolly for it and add a VFD for the 3ph 2hp motor.
