I bought this 28-560 for $50.00, assuming there was some quality there, worthy of an investment. After ordering and receiving $112.00 worth of parts from the local dealer, and having some questions about how to proceed, I was informed by him about the machine’s inherent defects. He basically told me it was a poor design, an Edsel, if you know what I mean, and also that he couldn’t make blades for it although he has made a number of blades for the other two bandsaws. I should have returned the parts for a refund and scrapped the machine, but I didn’t do it. Shame on me.

So, I have the 28-560, it is basically all there – all the wheels, good motor, good table, good front cover, good upper guide, original switch, etc. New parts are: 2 orange colored tires, one wood cutting drive belt, a thrust bearing, and a guide bracket which is not the right one !!!
