Have an opportunity to buy a old DELTA/MILWAUKEE "Homecraft" 10" bandsaw at attractive price under $100. Seller tells me it has a 10" throat or resaw capacity.. He read a model # over phone of U129 RS....My research isn't clear as to the companies involved; Most of my finding indicate Delta/Rockwell but seller states it is Delta/Milwaukee...Homecraft is imbedded in the steel housing...I am also concerned about the power (he doesn't know the HP but i think its 1/4hp) as I plan to ocassionally use resawing hardwoods...
This is a tool i will not use much but thought it be an easy way to have 10" resaw capacity on hand and available when I need it.
Any of you have experience with this vintage BS? Not sure from model #? what I'm dealing with.
Did find a manual online for the Dl/Rockwell model of Homecraft BS but other info is sparse...
Thanks in advance....I won't proceed till I hear your opinions.
