Minimax MM16 Bandsaw - SOLD - Chuck in NC - 05-08-2023
SOLD! Thanks all for the interest!!
2005 MM16, purchased new for $2500, asking $1700.
I am in Eastern NC.
3.6kW (4.8HP) single phase motor, wired 220V with 30A twist-loc connector.
I added locking casters to allow mobility.
It has been an incredible saw. I have relied on it to help me design and make custom bedroom and dining table furniture for our home and for the kids.
It's time for me to let it go. I spend my time fishing and boating, island hopping at the coast.
I have a total of 5 blades of varying size that will be included.
The telescoping blade guard has some stains from humidity when the shop doors were left open. This does not affect function.
This is a great saw. I hope someone will take it and use it.

I have a slightly older version (I happen to be in Charlotte), and can attest it is a great saw. Great for resawing and anything else you need.

I can send pics if interested.
I was away on business for 3 weeks immediately after I took delivery of the saw. One of my family members left the outside shop rollup door open on a warm spring day after weeks of cool weather. The cast iron surfaces and painted areas were fine. The telescoping blade guard is got some rust spots.
This is a great saw. I hope someone will take it and use it.
Did you mean 5 blades rather than 5 saws?

Yes and yes.
Thanks - corrected in O.P.

I bought my saw at a big woodworking show in Charlotte.

I have that exact saw (mine might be 2006), and would like to have a second one...if it was closer I'd be all over it.
RE: Minimax MM16 Bandsaw - Cian - 05-10-2023
Wish I was closer... or had already moved to NC.

If I lived close by, I'd buy it just to resell it. That is a fantastic deal for a MM16 made by Centauro. Look up what a new one costs, probably no longer made by Centauro, and you'll see what a bargain this is.

We've bought bare property in Pittsboro. No dwelling yet. Figured we'd get the land first just to buy in, since the greater Triangle area has been hot for awhile now and don't think it will lessen anytime soon. Keeping an eye on material and labor prices, but will likely be a few years still. Really looking forward to getting down there.
