    Anyone looking for a 30" Bandsaw?

    Found this in the OC CL. Price seems a bit much ($1K), for its age... but may have potential. If the blade to riser depth is 30", then I'm guessing by the photo that it has close to a 15" resaw height capacity. I wonder what blade length this requires

      blades are about 19' long and cost $100-250+ each

      I used to maintain a tannewitz 30" BS, it could easily resaw 15"

        30'' american (mfg name) bs on cl in CA

        Also has been an old style OWWM bandsaw for sale in San Luis Obispo County on CL
        started at $650 dropped to $500 mfg by American
        most likely also three phase but this is what is really necessary to utilize this size saw
        It is possible to rig up a phase converter pretty cheap ($200) or buy a used one or better yet use a rotary phase converter.
        would need forklift and heavy trailer to move and shop with high ceiling but you would not be looking for a bigger bandsaw in a couple years.
