Registry Detail

Machine Information
Serial Number:	133955
Machine Type:	Band Saw
Machine Description:	No. 50 36"
Owner:	Ben Barker
Manufacture Date:	unknown
Notes:	This machine was reportedly used by an architectural column manufacturer in Pittsburgh, PA. When I bought it for $150, it had closed (solid) guards, and numerous sheet metal plates added to prevent dust intrusion. I disassembled, stripped, painted and did a general clean up. Additionally, I removed the add-on dust plates and installed diamond mesh in the guard frames - this appears to be more in keeping with the catalog drawings of the saw from the 1920s.
