I'm going to look at an Oliver bandsaw for sale ($400) tomorrow. It is
in storage so the seller did not have much info. He thinks it's a 192
since it is about 18". I did a quick search and they seem to be
decent. Is there anything I should look out for? Did manufacturing
decline in later years. I downloaded a S/N - manufacturing date chart
for reference.

He also has a Delta HD shaper with a lot of cutters for $600.

Thanks,

Tom

Personally, I am pretty sure you'd HATE that ol' Oliver.... SEND IT TO ME,
instead... For old iron, check out http://www.owwm.com or the link there to
Oliver:
