This is my "new" Delta 14" Bandsaw. Traded about $200 worth of stuff for it.

Don't know much about it yet (read: I'm utterly ignorant), serial #39-1972. More photos at http://rogerlos.org/junk/bs/
Any insight always appreciated. This old iron thing could be a big problem. :D

Lots of old iron showing on around the creek. Very cool!
If you haven't allready pay a visit to Old Woodworking Machines, (http://www.owwm.com)
Lots of good information available there.

Sweet Band Saw.
That's close to the top of my "next toy" list.
Have fun with it.

Roger, my granddad owned a saw like yours, and I inherited it years ago. I left it with a woodworker friend when I moved from New Mexico to California, and he still continues to get use out of it. You got a good saw, and it looks like it'll be a fun resto project.

I'm looking forward to tuning it up and maybe giving it a respray. Made in 1945 or thereabouts, apparently.
