Delco Warner Metal Bandsaw

[Coleman396]

Hi guys.
I am picking up a metal bandsaw for my hobby shop tomorrow.
It won't get a lot of use but I will be happy to have a bandsaw after years of waiting.
Now, has anyone heard of Delco Warner?
I know the tool manufacturers changed names etc a lot in the past but can't even find that name with a google search.
Any info would be great. Thanks!

Kind of sounds like info found on an electric motor, not a saw.

I can't post a picture of the saw right now but that is the name of the saw manufacturer not the motor. I kind of thought the same thing as you when I first read the ad.

Is this one of the 4 X 6 horizontal saws? Asian manufacturers are famous for using names that sound like old respected American brands on their products.

It is actually a 4x6 but built in California. 1980 manufacture date.

It's probably going to be just a label. For example, NAPA has their label slapped on all manner of hand and power tools they buy from manufacturers. It is likely a wholesale parts distributor needed some tools to offer their retail customers to compete with NAPA. An example would be the Dahaner/Cooper/Apex raised panel wrenches sold with three or four different brand names stamped on them.

Okay thanks Jack. Buying it for 100 bucks with a couple of spare bands and it works so I guess I can't do too bad on that deal.

For a Made-in-USA machine, you done good.
