Hi all,
I have an older (Taiwan made) bandsaw. This is one of the ubiquitous
asian 4X6 units. I have not used it in several years since I got an old
Keller power hacksaw, and did not have room for both machines. I am
making more room, so it needs a new home. It is well used and has been a
real workhorse. It was used only for cutting small AL and steel angle to
rough lengths, so I never took the time to square the vice perfectly,
etc. The legs are off of it, and I think the plastic guard that covers
the belt is gone, but I believe that everything else there. though I
have not done so in quite a while, I am sure that you could just put the
legs on and start cutting, but it would sure benifit from a bit of
machine TLC.

I am located in NE Mass, near Lowell. It is not likely worth shipping
anywhere. I thought I would offer it here to anyone who might be local
and interested, before hitting Craig's list, etc.

I know this is not worth much. All I want out of the deal is your
promise to use and appreciate this loyal machine and enough money to buy
myself a large sandwich, a soda and an order of onion rings at a decent
local sub shop (under 10 bucks...). If you are interested email me
directly, we'll talk.

If you lived in Oregon, I'd buy you TWO sammiches!

I didn't remember they had sub shops in Mass. I thought they were
called "grinders". I remember my first trip to Mass and seeing the
sign in store windows. Guess they are Grinders West of Boston and
subs to the North.

Grinders are heated in the oven - Subs are served as cold sandwiches.

Most places around here are referred to as "sub shops", though lots of
sub shops have signs in the windows advertising "grinders"...

All the sub places around here advertise they are served hot.
