Deal or no deal?

35.00
I ended up buying it
It came with an extra blade.

That's what I've been seeing them for here in my area.

 

[vettex2]

I had never seen one before so I guessed.
I'm running out of room and it will do for what I need.
It would be virtually useless in a race shop

 

[vettex2]

Yard sale price.
Do you have a use for it?

yes and yes

Looks very nice and clean. Good score.

 

[vettex2]

Yes it was very clean except for some sawdust I blew out of the inside.

I have a delta version on a stand and the guy gave it to me. Other then the greatere depth to the left of the blade they're not that great and harder to adjust. Don't pit too wide a blade on there, it can tension narrow blades but there's too much flex for a wide one. Still not a bad price if you can use it.

Used to have a similar saw, not CM but Edison brand I think, but it was variable speed, Actually did pretty well for light duty metalwork, sailed thru aluminum up to 3/8" or so, steel was so so up to about 1/8". Sold it when I got a full size saw.

If you can slow the blade speed down to around 200-250, buy a Morse 10-14 TPI metal cutting blade for it. That might be more useful in your shop.

I will do the same when the time comes

I'll look into that

 

[Lhorn]

If I needed one I'd have paid that for sure.

 

[vettex2]

I didn't really need it but......

I find them a pain in the rear trying to keep the blade on and aligned. The frames aren't stiff enough to properly tension the blade and when you do tension it the frame flexes and the blades walk. If you need a bandsaw, a used 14" Delta for a few hundred is a better choice. There is a reason those show up at garage sales so often.

 

[vettex2]

I never saw one before, pun not intended.
When i find a better one, I'll sell it.
I haven't even cut anything with it yet.

I'd still have bought it for that price.

I only got a bench top band saw a couple of years ago but I use it a lot.
