The older, larger bandsaws are really neat.
This guy makes a babbit bearing for his, and I hardly know what one of those is, but am trying to get up to speed, which keeps leading me to cool videos, though sadly not much actual pertinent data on the saw I'm working on.
I have finally figured that part out though.
The one I'm fixing up/restoring, is a Walker Turner BN730, 12" Bench Top Bandsaw.
There's really not much to it, and it is hard to screw it up, but for awhile, I knew little about bandsaw construction, so I was afraid to tear it down completely and restore it.
I feel like a fool now, as it is like the easiest machine ever to understand. That means I get to complicate putting it back together all on my own, so I'm taking my time and doing it right, and to MY liking.
