I'm considering the purchase of a 1950's era Boice-Crane band saw. It has 1 HP motor 14" throat, and 8" height capacity.
It doesn't have a fence. Does anyone know if a fence can be purchased for this saw and for how much? I'm guessing Grizzly. I'ld like to get something accurate.
Can I resaw 8" cherry with a saw like this?
I'm concerned about the wheels. It appears that they're made of bakelite or some old style plastic. Will these hold up to the stresses of a larger motor?
Any info is appreciated especially from someone who has used one of these. The OWWM web site suggests that they track well once setup correctly.
