Ever heard of a Precision Packard?

It's a Chiwanese clone probably based on a Chiwanese clone
of a Chiwanese clone of the Delta 14" band saw. In other
words, this one was still around when all the others had
been picked over and passed over by Jet and Grizzly.

Look a bit tattered but if it was to be had cheap would it be worth fixing up?

This about that. Believe me when I tell you that finding
and fixing up a good used machine can be a very satisfying
experience. Some even find out they like fixing up old
machines to be more fun than wooddorking. No really, it's
true and I will recommend this off shoot of the hobby to
anyone for just about any machine except for a Chiwanese
clone probably based on a Chiwanese clone of a Chiwanese
clone of the Delta 14" band saw.

Then on the other hand, for $15 you won't feel quite so bad
when you finally find and bring home a good band saw and you
can give this one the heel of your boot out the back end of
your pick up truck (with the Dale Earnhardt press on decal
in the back window).
