Good morning, all.............
My name is Kent, and I am new to Sawmill Creek. I recently inherited a Sprunger 14" bandsaw, of which I know nothing about. It has no motor, but, it seems to be in pretty good shape. The tires are cracked and in need of replacing, and it needs a new blade 94", I think.
I am guessing a 1 HP motor would be sufficient for my purposes, but, what speed motor should I buy? 1750? Also, how do I determine the pulley size? I wasnt a big math guy in school, so, simple is better.
I found some new urethane tires on ebay, and will be seeking out a cabinet for it.
Any body know anything about this Sprunger 14" that will help me bring my grandpa's old saw back to life?
Have an awesome day!
