O.K. Kiddies. Look what poped up on the worlds largest online flee market. As you know, we are not allowed to mention who it is but we all know who it is. Boy, now I am sounding like Donald Rumsfeld.

Do a search for Oliver Bandsaw and check out the 217 currently listed.

Where the heck did they hide this gem? This is one of the most pristine and factory original machines I have ever come accross. It is virtually in the same shape it was in when it left the mother ship in Grand Rapids, MI.

Enjoy and please limit the druelling.:D:D I wish my stuff looked this nice.

Try using "Oliver Band Saw" (without the quotes of course.)

Thanks Dev, now I'm going back to my world...Ah, to have a band saw like that.

Looks like you can get a pretty complete shop from this seller. Click on "View Seller's other items" to see a drop-dead gorgeous Oliver 270 TS and planer as well as a Northfield 12" jointer to go with your new band saw. The jointer has got an array of guards to go with it. Everything looks to be in great shape...

Here's the Oliver, item# 7620052928
The Tanny I found is still one heck of a deal.

Nice serious throat but what is the depth of cut...didn't see that on there. Hmm, it's in SoCal, too.

Oh, wait, I see some chipped paint! Naw, forget it.... :p
