I really need some advice. The 2012-1AC is a 1980 and does not seem
to have any accessories or extra guides. The 1612-3 is a 1966 has 11
new blades, 7 used ones, 2 manual feeds and a complete collection of
blade guides.

I do not know how difficult it is to find blade guides or if guides
are typically carbide. I could make new tool steel guides but have no
current capability for machining slots in carbide.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm still looking for a good bandsaw.

Is there any difference in the user friendliness of the Hydraulic i.e.
the 1612-3 fed tables versus the Pneumatic fed tables like the
2012-1AC?

Thanks,

Ryan
