Vintage Tools

[Steven Beam]

Does any one have any good sources for vintage machines. I would like a large jointer and band saw

Thanks

Not sure where you are located, but if you check the Columbus Ohio craigslist tools for sale section, there is an old 8" jointer for $300. Great deal if you are close enough and it's big enough for you. And FWIW, it ain't mine, I just saw it advertised.

Now this is my kind of post! ARHHH --- ARHHH ---- ARHHH:D.

The first thing we need to know is do you have 3-phase electricity and a fork lift?
(neither are a requirement but they help)

Do you have specific size machines in mind?

Big bandsaws are a piece of cake, big jointers can be collectors items ($$).

If you haven't previously bought a vintage machine, spend some time on the articles and forum at www.owwm.com (http://www.owwm.com) so that you know what you're getting into.

Pete Skjold's Delta/Crescent band saw would be an excellent machine to start on if it's complete and undamaged.

36" badsaw and 12-16" jointer

Yes a 36" is a "BAD" saw indeed;).

12-16" jointers are nice but there are some 20 and 24 inchers.... lurking out there calling your name.;)
