Comments:

A younger woodworker in northern Vermont obtained this machine from a small sawmill operation. When it was advertised for sale (in Decemberr, 2008) I determined that I would like it and found another machine (a nice Walker-Turner 16" band saw) that the seller would take in trade. The search for an appropriate trade extended over a four month period and was helped substantially by another OWWM.org corresponder who found and delivered to me a suitable W-T saw for the trade.

This is the same machine whose sale photographs were archived here at OWWM.com in January, 2009, by G. Rutherford.

Note that the manufacturer is an previously unknown (to this OWWM.com archive) iteration: 'Charles Buss & Sons' rather than 'Charles Buss & Son' which was previously known.
