Ebay, bandsaw, cheap? needs TLC.

Missing its table , needs a metal one made up . A good way to maximize ripping .
How many times in a lifetime do you need to tilt a table on a band saw? For me 0 so far.
Nice old saw though . How cheap will it go for ?

My guess $68.50

Any one else want to try and Guess ?

I don't get what you mean Stu ?

The wheels are 32 to 33"

[needsmorecowbel]

my mistake what are the wheels on the one out the back of yours?

Stu

Oh yes , One is a Wadkin 30" and the other a Barker 36" .

[needsmorecowbel]

the 36 inch ones...jeez...

Stu , the Wadkin DR30 I got from a scrapyard , Ive been buying a bit of this sort of thing for a year now , if you ever see the posts here of Micheal Connor's workshop [ Localele ] I'm pretty sure his Wadkin is the DR36 . Beautifully made machines , and heavy. I had to learn how to move such things before I could buy them. Its all possible with crow bars pipes and a new thing for me , sheer legs .This is the Wadkin assembly line with the DR 30 and two 36 up the back. Next time you bring some Blackwood to be ripped I hope its going to be better than the 22inch Italian pressed metal one in use.

the next size up from that would be a sawmill?

You'd be talking 400+ kg yeah?

cheers Rob,

Yeah , I'm pretty sure anything up in size from a 36 and you have to dig a hole in the workshop floor for the bottom wheel.
The Wadkin 30" is 941 kg and the 36" 1005 kg there is slight differences given it the brochures so they are close to that somewhere .
