The DELTA HOMECRAFT Band Saw now resides in my garage...Bought it this morning...Passed all the basic cutting tests.
But it will need some major cleaning, etc... And it's bigger, heavier than I thought.
Took 2 men to get in my truck..For $40, it seemed a good value!!
So, I will get out the cleaning rags, steel wood etc and will try to bring it back to life....
Thanks for your help on this..

To prove it "actually happened" here are pics.
Looks like I have a significant job ahead of me to restore.

Looks like a pretty sturdy unit, and for $40.....DEAL. A little love and your grandkids will probably use it.

As I started to gather materials for paint removal of the iron base, I realized this might be lead based paint (considering the age of the saw)...Did a small test on one of the legs and paint came off easily using a wire wheel in my elec drill... The housing of the saw is another matter but there it is more of a cleaning issue than paint removal.....The base i'd like to repaint.,,.,Could this be lead based and if so, any cautions or suggestions? Thanks
