Posted a thread a couple of weeks ago asking for opinions on a Walker Turner 16" bandsaw on Craigslist. General consensus was that it was twice the saw that I could get new for 1/4 of the price. Took a while for the seller and I to get a time that worked for us both to meet, but today it all worked out. Real nice guy, and we chatted about woodworking for a while. Saw was in great shape except for maybe needing some new tires and the bearing on the lower guide probably needs replaced, but other than that, it's all intact. His neighbor managed to jack up the blade somehow so I couldn't run it, but runs smooth when powered on. Also kind of cool that this was apparently used by the KC Royals at some point as it had "Property of KC Royals" sticker on it. Should have a blade early next week so I can get it tuned up and put it through the paces. Need that time to recuperate anyways after moving this thing. This thing weights a TON! I bet it weights between 500-600 lbs. At least that is what my back thinks.
