next are the bandsaws, ive a few and more than one of some of them
these are the ones i have right now:
the Crescent 20 inch, covered well in another thread, easily my oldest tool at 101 yrs old
and a pre war beaver 12 inch. this is actually a 1935 walker turner bn100, beaver imported some american made stuff, likely to test the market. of course WW 11 got in the way. beaver was made by the callander foundry in guelph ontario. rockwell bought the foundry and everything else in 1954
and the newly acquired simple simon, also a 12 inch, a work in progress
i'll post some pics of other bandsaws ive had, all interesting machines in some way
1940's(post war) Beaver 15 inch, this saw is made using a one piece 4 ft tall aluminum casting, quite a piece of casting work. i redid 3 or 4 of these, sold them all!
1940's Beaver 12 inch, cast iron saw unlike the larger one, nicest 12 inch saw ive ever seen
1940's Henry power tools 12 inch saw, aka craftmaster, unknown generally in the states, but montgomery ward sold them, made in london ontario, canada
