Walker Turner 12" Bandsaw and Powermatic 65 Table Saw

[shanghaipete]

Due to an impending move, I need to move these tools along. I'm located in west Cary (27519).
These are heavy duty cast iron tools and should last someone a long time.

Walker Turner 12" Band saw (BN 725) $250
Good:
- 99% completely restored, all rust removed and repainted, bearings replaced and put into service.
- Aluminum spacer to accommodate commonly available blade sizes
- includes simple two button switch
Bad:
- Getting setup is a little tricky
- Upper wheel urethane tire is a little loose (not crowned)
- No motor
- Quick and dirty wheeled base


PM 65 (I think - No tag) Table saw $550
Good:
- Sand blasted to bare metal and repainted
- Strong 3HP 3phase motor with a VFD - runs on 220 single phase
- Wheeled base
Bad
- No badge, I think it was a PM 65 (not a 66)
- Original fence (good, but not aftermarket)

Is that an upgrade kit on the Walker Turner?

Do you mean the spacer/riser? It's just a piece of 3/8" aluminum that raises the top wheel so that you can use more standard bandsaw blade sizes. Everything on the saw is original except the bearings.

Hi everyone - just chiming in to verify that I’ve seen this bandsaw in person, and can vouch that Trent did a terrific job on restoring it. If you need/ could use a small bandsaw, this is 1000x the quality of anything readily available in this size today.

Also Trent, I forgot to mention, re: your table saw, the differences between the early 65 and the later/ more famous 66 is in the trunnions. If both trunnions are located towards the front of the cabinet, w/ the arbor assembly cantilevered towards the rear, it’s a 65. If there is 1 trunnion at the front of the cabinet, and the other at the rear, w/ the arbor assembly riding between the 2, it’s a 66. I restored and used a 65 for years before MY move. Solid saw, (it’s a powermatic), and the guys at SharkGuard can likely fab a splitter bracket.

Thanks Heath! I found a picture from the restoration and it's a PM 65.
