Used Mastercraft Bandsaw

[Gary Patterson]

I am looking at purchasing a used (yard sale) mastercraft bandsaw,14".
Model SSW-140. Can't find anything on the net for parts/assessories/riser blocks or anything. Should I steer clear>

Anybody know about these?

Gary, if it is in working condition and he’s not asking too much for it, I’d go for it. Bandsaws aren't very complicated machines. You might be able to adapt a delta or jet riser kit to it but I wouldn’t count on it. It’s probably has a ½ hp motor.
There's one on the Nashville craigslist;

I think he's asking too much for it.
