Comments:

This machine belongs to a friend. No, he doesn't have a Lawn-Boy jointer to go with it! I did tell him that he should look for a Toastmaster lathe and a Sunbeam drill to keep it company, though.

All kidding aside, it's a nice, smaller bandsaw that's actually a "badge-engineered" Tomlee Model No. 46. He had the holes for the wheel axle sleeve bearings bored out, and replaced them with ball bearings. Construction is cast iron.

12/08/05 update: The model number of this saw is 49206, with the "6" supposedly indicating that it was made in 1956. The serial number is 889.
