Want to upgrade your bandsaw?
This ones going to make short work of re-sawing those guitar and uke sets. Good if you have the room and power to run it.

I like the "local pick up", wondering if it comes with an operator?

Re: Want to upgrade your bandsaw?
I'm seriously looking at it . Not for final resaw but for trueing quarter flitches . Robbi's are beautiful machines , a proper industrial workhorse . My only real concern are removal costs . These machines often have the bottom wheel running in a pit , sometimes with concrete poured around the cast . Running at 3 to 4 ton It could be difficult to float it out of the pit too . Or expensive to bring in a heavy enough machine to lift it out , probably a franner , and that's if it could operate under the roof height . There appear from the photos to be bolts holding it down which leads me to think it's probably not concreted in . Difficult one . Hmmm . But what a machine .......

Nice Saw !! $500 save it Pete , if you can .
If you can figure out the wheel diameter or the model , I can give you all the specifications on it if you want them . I have a 1939 catalog with what looks to be the same saw . The 60 " MF with vertical and horizontal roller feed. There is quite a few models either side of it, but it looks to be the same . To ask them about a badge would be better . Here they are. let me know if you need more info.
There is another Barker on ebay ATM as well

Re: Want to upgrade your bandsaw?
I notice it's had a few 'health and safety' add-ons since the original catalogue image, think I prefer the modern version
Nice saw and a great buy at the current price, hmmmm wonder if it'll fit in a bubble wrap envelope and fit in the hold of a 737 ?
