Picked up another bandsaw

[Gasgt1]

I ran into a deal on a vintage Powermatic band saw recently.
I have been looking for a 141 for a while.

Already has new tires and bearings installed.
Looking forward to moving this one into my shop.

thanks for looking

Nice! Can't wait to get mine going. May have a trial run tonight.

Good luck!
Did all of the parts come in yet?

Didn't order parts yet, holding off a little while. I installed a 3/4" blade and set on the lowest speed, and it's slow, I think it would cut anything I could lift up to he saw. The transmission shifts great. Need to replace the guide bearings.
I bought 8 bimetal blades at a auction last week , just need to have shortened.

How is your new one? Looks like its a nice saw. This makes three for you?

If you mean Powermatics, yes.
although one of them I am debating on what to do with.

It works ok but someone at some point knocked it over and there are cracks in the main casting.
May either use it, sell it or part it out

I f you mean bandsaws................I have a dozen or so old ones floating around

I may have to start a show your band saw thread
