T. Eilbeck & Son 30" band saw. Purchased through the
local
free classifieds. Larger pic here. She
stands
a bit over 7 1/2 feet high. Manufacturer unknown. I'd been looking for
a large bandsaw
for resawing for some time. Early on I bid on some newer machines but
lost
out. Just recently I lost out on a
nice
old 26" machine with a 8" resaw height. Now 8 inches is nothing to
be ashamed about but everyone knows size really is important. Nope,
like
any man I secretly wished I had 12 inches. Well now I've got a whopping
15.5 inches. Its been looked after, the tables are ground and from what
I can tell everything is serviceable.
It does have a significant repair to the bottom wheel but hey,
nothing is perfect. Yes, fate has been kind to me again.
Badge details.
The guy I bought it from had half finished making guards
for it.
