Band Saw Restoration

[Double R]

I had a neighbor that was about to take this saw to sale for scrap. I was just at the right place at the right time.

Before and After.

Yes, it is very good quality. I could have never been able to afford one of these. I had been using an Enco import that I bought years ago when Enco still had a store in Norcross.

Look great but almost too good to use. The one I used to use at work looked to be 100 years old even after switching to water based lubricant.

Yea, this one is close to 50 years old. The best I could tell it was made in mid 70’s. It doesn’t appear to have ever had lubrication on it. I have already found a system at Precision Matthews that I am planning on getting.
