    Call Grizzly, as they were made (most likely) in the same factory. Buffalo was an independent importer of tools from Taiwan, same as Grizzly.

    Not a buffalo forge bandsaw is it? That is an old line company that made drillpresses and bandsaws. Not sure if they survived world war 2 or were gone before then.

  4. I have a Buffalo Forge 15" drill press and it's a very nice machine. Here's an article with the history of the company and how the various divisions have been spun or sold off, and to whom: http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgIndex/detail.aspx?id=129

    I have a 14" Buffalo bandsaw and it is the usual Taiwanese import. I have been able find most replacement parts I needed from old Grizzly and Jet part lists.
