Hi all,
New here, amazed at all the great info available. I'm a tilesetter M-F, getting into woodworking slowly. Began remodeling our 1907 house which needs EVERYTHING so I decided a woodshop in the basement was in order. Mostly used equipment, nothing too fancy.
One machine I picked up is an older bandsaw, a Sears & Roebuck 112.23770 which was made by Parks, an 18". I don't know the best size blade for resawing-I don't have a manual or a tension guage on the saw. I plan on resawing some old fir beams, up to 10" or so wide.
If anyone is familiar with this machine and has any advice I'd appreciate it! I can post a pic if it would help.
Thanks!
Matt
