Hello everyone, Well I made a connection over the past week to an old friend. In our conversation I found out that he is into woodworking as well. I also found out that he had an EXTRA Band saw that he had in storage. It is a 14" Bett-Marr. I asked him what his plans were for it and to my surprise he offered it to me FREE of CHARGE. After I picked myself up off the floor, I accepted it. Then he told me the things it needed.
1st was a Motor, Which he already had . It had to be adapted to the stand but it worked out nicely.
2nd was Lubed up, all the bearings were OK but a little stiff. With some penetrating spray they work well now.
3rd Wiring had to be redone. No big deal here.
4th New blade installed (which he had as well.)
So to add my expense up, $0 dollars. Here are some pictures My son took tonight. Now I need Ideas for a new table for it and fences. Any and all Ideas are thankfully accepted. Also has anyone ever heard of this make?Just wondering how good it is. I will research it later.

SO How did I do? As if I don't know that answer to that one.
Keep Making that Sawdust.
