Eagle tools??

[Mike Shoemaker]

Anyone ever hear of them. Looking at a band saw on craigslist??

[Mark Singer]

Eagle has the Aggazani bandsaws...I bought one from Jesse Baragan the owner several years ago....I think they are the best... Maloof has 3 ...Duginske just bought his second and Krenov has one also... http://www.eagle-tools.com/Pages/agazzani.html

Mike,

Do you mean the tool distributor Eagle Tools in Los Angeles?

Mark Singer beat me to it. I bought my General 650 from them and they are very reputable.

[Mike Shoemaker]

Not sure the add just said 14" band saw by Eagle tools. He left me an E-mail for 150.00. I'll call inj the mourning

[Jim Becker]

Eagle has a good reputation...but it may be a different company.

[Mike Shoemaker]

Yeah, I think it is. I'm looking at it tomrrow. The guy said harbor freight sells them??? All I know from Harbor freight is Central Machinery. But the other stuff this guy has is, Shopsmith MarkV, Rockwell saw, so who knows.

[Mark Duginske]

Mark is right. They are very nice saws and I like dealing with Jesse.

I think that all of the Italian saws are good and it would be hard to make a joice. If you are a turner you might like the one hand table tilt.

L.A. still has a manufacturing base and Jesse has a place that will sharpen
a variable pitch Lenox trimaster.

I bought the big machines for my shop from Eagle. This is not the same company as the mail order outfit, I believe. Jesse used to be the American importer of Inca machinery from Switzerland.

He's known and respected for his knowledge and integrity.

and he doesn't have a $150 bandsaw, a bandsaw blade maybe. It's got to be someone else.

[Gregg Feldstone]

I got the B20 from Eagle and it's my favorite tool in the shop now....quiet, smooth, stable.....a joy to use.
Highly recommended!! And I have a copule of the guys above in this thread to thank for their advise.

Wanted to follow up. This was the Chinese (sp) import.
