I posted the other day asking about the Delta 28-350 20" Band saw. I read A LOT of info on the old iron site about the machine and everyone (at least there) seems to really like the machine, so I figured I'd go take a look.
Well, from what I had been reading this machine was in real good condition. It's a 1964 and looks like it hasn't been used much. The man was asking $600 and I ended up getting the machine for $545 and one bottle (1 lb) of my honey. :wsmile:
Brought it home, cleaned the table, changed the switch and the cord and she is officially making sawdust. Cut some feet for a canning cabinet I'm making the wife.
I want to make/get a fence for it as I plan to use it to resaw, and most likely replace the guide bearings with new just to be safe. If I get real board this winter I'll get it back to the original gray.:dontknow:
I really want the Meber woodguy is selling but this will have to do for now. :wsmile:

Thanks for looking, and I have more honey for sale too!!! :gar-La;
