Champion bandsaw.

Post by Tonxi » Thu May 05, 2011 2:46 pm

I couldn't find anything about this Champion bandsaw.

I could just about stretch to this if nobody else bids and if it is ready to go. If it isn't too big for my friend to bring too.

Does anyone have any knowledge of or thoughts on this saw?

The glass is half full... but I'll have another while your up!

It's not over until Ricky Pontin cries! (Not long now).

Great minds like a think!

Yours is 15" and brand new. The 1hp motor may be a bit big for me too. I have a 4.5kva diesel generator but it almost deafens me and I would prefer to use my nice quiet inverter.
Probably makes this 14" that nobody seems to have heard of overpriced at $280

Patience is a virtue - procrastination is an entirely different pot of cabbage. Do not die wondering :mrgreen:
Sometimes you just have to say wtf, jump right in and make it work. They're only bloody bandsaws, we're not talking mercury vortex technology.
