Ok, so I got a great deal on the bandsaw. It ended up being an even better deal than I thought when the saw came with a few hundred dollars worth of electronic components that will be sold off.
Besides that the shop has gotten one more addition. I keep swearing this is it, but I keep going. I've been shoping for a 20" disc sander for some time. They are really handy for doing the bottoms of the rockers and other shaping. Since only half the disk space is usable 12" discs aren't worth much. There are only a few new discs offered. General and Powermatic both offer very nice ones for around $1600-$1800. Since I work a lot with Klingspor's for teaching I sent the GM an email asking if they had any deals. They did!
It has a 2HP motor, is reversible, has a rack and pinion height and angle adjustment, and has a footbreak. Very nicely made.
I have to share this pic too. This is a pic of the Meber along side the MM16 to show how big this saw really is. It just needs new tires and it is good to go. It is in very good shape. I have the original PO from Broyhill when it was purchased in 1999.
Start the SUCKAGE calling.
I swear I'm done with equipment now. Really am I... Don't look at me like that...... I don't have an addiction really.....:rolf::rolf:
Thanks,
John
