We are in the process of setting up my Mother's Estate sale. One of the items is a Delta 768 Bandsaw, the saw is in very good condition, but lacks a motor and the original stand. Part of me wants to buy it, but my shop is crowded and I don't know how useful this saw would be.

Just asking if there is a special use this saw excels at or is it better for the collectors of vintage machinery. I think it would sell $80-100, so not
much money.

I have one that I bought a couple of years ago. It was in very good condition with a 1/2 hp motor, paid $300 for it. Only replaced bearings (just to be safe), as it was already nicely repainted, etc. I also have an 18" band saw with a 1/2" blade on it. I keep a 1/4" on the Delta 768 for smaller stuff. Love that little saw, but then I really like the old arn. Randy
