Re: bandsaw suggestions needed

going back to the topic Willy, can you recommend a bandsaw locally? one that has resaw capacity of 12 is desired with as little footprint as possible (14" wheels would be perfect) and well priced would be better too 😀

I have searched far and wide for local suppliers and they still lead me back to old, japanese and US made models. I have a friend who will let go of his Delta Bandsaw. Its an old but original CI bandsaw. The truth is with recent models I've seen, the flywheel balances wander off after a few weeks of use. Will you be doing a lot of re-sawing and curves?

well I do get lots of my wood rough from Cebu and I am having a hard time dimensioning them... a Bandsaw isn't in my immediate list as I will be cash strapped once my speakers arrive... but given several months down the line, I will definitely get one.

Re: bandsaw suggestions needed

Just drop by my shop anytime if you need heavy re-sawing and bandsaw cuts. I'd be happy to help cut from 16" deep down to the smallest depth and curve. I can convince my friend to unload his old delta for about 30K. just needs a few tweaks but i'm sure its a good find.

Re: bandsaw suggestions needed

please reserve it na for me... pending inspection of course. I'm sure lots will pm you about this

thanks Willy, I will take your offer on one of these days... hehehe 😀

anytime Sir Timber. Actually, the bandsaw was intended for me. I love machine restorations and this baby was supposed to be my next kya lang heavy ang work ko ngayn kya sayang. all it needs is a lil TLC and a lil tweak and cosmetic paint and you have a very rigid bandsaw. Mga 12" depth clear pa sya. (new WIP?, Machine resto - I plan to post one in the future.) IF restored will easily fetch around 50K, hmm......;)

Re: bandsaw suggestions needed

hmmm, now you got me excited ;D I don't mind tweaking, I'm sure I will even if was brand new anyway.... what size are the wheels? ah basta, please reserve 😀

Re: bandsaw suggestions needed

mga 20" ang fly wheel. 2hp single phase 220v 60hz. multispeed by interchangeable pulleys. I have to restore ksi a 3-in-1 japanese sash unit ( thicknesser/jointer/TS packed together as one.) kya di ko maasikaso. Wag mo nang palampasin ksi sayang.

brader, promise hinding hindi lalampas yan... if the person has a deadline to sell it let me know... I will sell my car to get that :p:p:p

Dang 20"... 😀

Re: bandsaw suggestions needed

You'd be surprised what an arsenal of heavy machines you can raise for the price of power tools. kya nga mas hilig ko resto ksi i get to experience good, efficient and well engineered machines with no complicated parts, just raw power. The rest is left to the craftsman. plus rewarding pa on da budget.

Re: bandsaw suggestions needed

definitely, good thing I am quite mechanically adept... I love a good restoration as well. btw, do you have the model number for the saw?

No need to sell the horse, i can purchase it for you para d na makuha ng iba. if you find it not suitable for your taste when you see it i can always go back to my original plan of restoration. I still would love to get my hands dirty on this one kya no worries.

Re: bandsaw suggestions needed

I really don't think I will pass :D...
