FS: 16" Walker Turner Wood/Metal Band Saw - Rick_B - 03-07-2017
I bought this saw a number of years ago and put it in the rat hole without doing anything to it. Then I moved it from NY to NC - and put it in the rat hole without doing anything to it. In an effort to focus on projects that are additions versus duplicates I have decided to sell this band saw. I am far from an expert on these machines but as far as I can tell everything is present and accounted for. Everything seems to turn/move as expected however I have not had it running and can't testify to the gear box condition.
I took a close look at it for defects and found a few issues:
1. Three of the four ears on the base where the top attaches to the base are cracked. It looks like a previous owner fabricated some steel bars that go under the ears to provide better support for the attachment bolts.
2. The lower blade guide has a slit in the back that appears to be sawn (not cracked) - not sure if this is how they came or PO abuse.
3. There is a crack in the table tilt casting
Other than that I couldn't find anything else worth noting. The last six pictures show the problems noted above.
The machine comes with a Rockwell 1 HP 3 Phase, 1725 RPM motor which I have tested and it works. The motor, table and trunions were removed for moving and never put back on.

More pictures here - first six in the album are the defects - http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Rick_B/library/For%20Sale/WT%20Band%20Saw?sort=3&page=1
I'm asking $750 for everything - as usual I am open to reasonable offers. I can deliver within 3-1/2 hours of Winston Salem NC for a negotiated fee.
Thanks for looking
Rick
