I'm sure Larry or Shane will be along shortly to update you, but it sure looks like a nice saw. Could be a good project.

Mike,


The Walker-Turner bandsaws do have a following.


If you do look at it, check the housing for table tilt (3rd picture) for breakage. Not a deal breaker, but can be hard to find.


Walker-Turner was known for using odd size bearings, but quite a few of these machines get restored.


I couldn't tell from the photo what size saw this is.

Thanks Guys! I may have missed out on this one. I left a message but haven't heard back from the seller. It's just as well. I have too much on my plate at this time anyway.

No James I tried contacting the seller but got no response so I guess someone else got it. It's just as well since I picked up a metal lathe and spent some time cleaning it up. If I bring in another large power tool I won't have any room for wood.

 Oh I see. well, you must be still happy with your lathe..

Yes James I am very happy with the lathe. I do have to make a couple of mods to it. A 4 bolt hold down for the cross slide and a quick change tool post. The best part about the lathe is it only cost me 2 tanks of gas. I'll mainly use it for pen making. I can make my own bushings, closed end mandrills,  kitless pens, metal pens etc etc.

That sounds great Mike . I'm planning to purchase new band saw but I don't know if I'll get lathe.
