Is it a bargain at $495?
Is it a bargain at $495?
I'm only responsible for what I say, not for how it is understood
Looks like it uses Carter wheels. I would say it is, but I know absolutely nothing about them to the point that I didn't even know there was such a thing.
I’ve looked at this monster in person, but I can’t find a legible model number, so I’m hoping someone here might have a clue.
Also, the table on this thing is 55X36 inches and the total height is about 11 feet. So it would take up a lot of real estate
There isn't a manufacturer called Milwaukee that makes bandsaws that is registered on vintagemachinery.org. Guessing Milwaukee machine company is a distributor not a manufacturer.
I’d post it over on OWWM and see what they say. There are a lot of folks knowledgeable about big bandsaws there.
That is a HUGE table for a 22” saw, and very tall at 11’. How much resaw does it have?
Rick, seeing that you are in Virginia, if you don't want it, tell me where it is, and I'll go get it.

This was on a Facebook “for sale” post. Can’t quite figure out how to get the info to you but here is a try

I don’t have a phone number for the seller. I’ve just communicated via messenger
Geez, that thing looks HUGE!
I bet it's more than 22", and the seller just doesn't know. After all, he thinks it's a "Ban saw."
Probably 22" throat, and 24" wheels. I have plenty of height, but the 24" I have is limited in resaw capacity.
interesting fence. any reason to think it is for wood not metal? The chip drawer and lack of miter slot makes me think metal only I see no speed adjustment.

I was thinking metal too. I've been wanting a vertical metal cutting bandsaw. I only have a horizontal one that's really more like a miter saw is for wood.
Looks like a Northfield bandsaw.

Ah ha, metal cutting bandsaw would make sense.
It has a rolling right table.
Those may be DoAll wheels.
The picture from the back was interesting.
Looks handy for resawing logs, and that tensioning system looks mighty.
Wheels look larger than 24" to me.
$495you say... I wonder what it weighs
Can you get it home?, presuming you have a place for it
