I suggest that you change the tread title. You may get more responses.

Doesn't everybody already have a bandsaw the size of a Volkswagen in their 2-car garage?

 

[rsanter]

My god I want that.
Way too far away

Great... another tool shopping site introduced; http://vintagemachinery.org/classifieds/ads.aspx

 

[Wolley]

You should definitely get that.

Looks destined for scrap.. already party stripped and an oddly small table given it's size.

Too tall to fit a normal garage.

This would cost my marriage so technically, not free, but thank God you're 3 hours away.

Too tall to fit a normal garage.

The standard GJ response to that would be to just build a bigger garage.

I would expect someone to grab it since it's free, if only to strip for parts since DoAll like to charge literally all the money for everything. This is coming from someone who got a DoAll that just needs a little work for free, the cost of a few parts would buy a decent import bandsaw.

Be a nice student project, learning how to use a cutting torch and sledge hammer.

Calling @bulletpruf , ROADTRIP time!!!

psst, It will fit in a 'standard' garage. It's listed as only 8 ft tall.


Ad says it's a 'woodworking' bandsaw. Look at the size of that motor in the back. When the motor has a lifting eye, it's no longer a 'little' motor!

btw, it's not in Ohio. It's in Buffalo NY.

If this was within 10 hours of me, I would have grabbed it already..... Can't believe there are people that are close that are even hesitant about it.

On GJ some of you are even arguing against that freebie? Turn in the man card!

It's an odd machine... maybe special order or refurbed later in it's life.

Very large, but very small table and doesn't look to even be hydraulic.

A 16" Doall (small) can fit in most garages, and will likely have as big a table, maybe larger and possibly hydraulic.

Doesn't really pencil out even for free unless you have space and time to waste for an oddball machine that will take $$ to get running.

 

[tool_scrounge]

If saw is not compete with the normal running gear in reasonable shape I would avoid it, Unless you had a cheap source for the missing parts. I personally like the 16ML version better for small shops

 

[CN Spots]

You know how the house lights dim when the AC kicks on? I image the entire county does that when that thing is flipped on.

 

[AEAdam]

No such thing as a free industrial machine. I spot nothing free about that monster. Transportation, care and feeding, and imagine the price of the freq drive needed to run that beast. That belongs in a factory.

 

[Metal-Marc]

Will you ship it for that price?

 

[Cruzan80]

Will you deliver it for that price?

Fixed it for you
