Here's a few pics of the bandsaw I picked up for a couple hundred dollars....
A challenge for sure; but the motor is good and the bearings are good. Tires are in good shape too. Upper AND lower blade guides are broken, plus the trunnion is broken. I've been trying to come up with a way to repair the trunnion. I used gorilla glue steel repair epoxy to glue the broken brackets for the blade guides back together and have to say, it may have worked! If not, I'll have to get some aftermarket guides. Here is a few "before" pics. I'll post more as I get this thing going. It was dropped on it's side and landed on it's table causing all these broken parts. The table is OK but the rod that holds the fence is bent. After gluding the brackets back together, I could not break the joint loose, I may run pins thru the joints also but I don't think they have that much stress on them to begin with.
