I don't imagine there will be a huge audience for this on the FOG, but before posting on Craigslist I figured I would give you guys first crack at it just in case.
The bandsaw still works, but I hardly ever use it because it's underpowered and the blade tracking is finnicky, to put it mildly. So it would need some extensive calibration and possibly new guides. Also, the front rail tube for the fence is bent on the lefthand side. This doesn't affect clamping the fence closer to the blade, but further out from the blade it does. Rather than spending more time and money on it I'm going to wait until I put 220 in my shop and get something that's capable of doing serious resaw work, which is mainly what I would want a bandsaw for anyway, and which this unit would not be capable of even if it were perfectly tuned. In the meantime it's just occupying space and I want to make room for a workbench redesign anyway.
So you would be doing me a favor taking it off my hands. You just have to come to my shop to pick it up. The machine can be detached from the stand for transport if necessary.
PM me if interested.
