Bandsaw

Is there anyone out there that knows any thing about this is old girl?

That "Ol' Girl" used to date her stepbrother, my Rockwell table saw. Together they made a lot of chips. There might have been some tongue and groove from time to time. I am guessing that the two of them were never "board", but then I "wooden" know for sure. The bandsaw preferred hard-wood and the table saw was "knot" happy with "fur".

I have had several of that model bandsaw. They are a quality machine, Made in America. Bearings are an easy find. I have the larger two speed model now.

Thanks for the funny reply, but I'm looking for who made the thing, and when.

Looks like it has the characteristics of a Duro bandsaw circa 1930s. They made Powr-Kraft machines for Montgomery Ward. I'd start my search looking through Duro and Powr-Kraft catalogs from that era.

Thank you for the info.
