Somebody who knew I was in the market for a bandsaw pointed me in the direction of a person that has 2 he is trying to get rid of for silly money (he is not a woodworker and took them in part trade for something else). They are now just taking up space and he wants to get rid of them.
One he says is a Delta 28-190 which I know to be a 12" 1/2HP. The other is 14" made in Taiwan but he couldnt find a part number (I dont think he looked very hard). I thought it might be a HF but he says its black and I thought all HF stuff was green.
Does anybody have any experience with the 28-190 and/or have any idea who made a Tiawanese black 14" BS?
I havent seen them yet as they are way across town but for what he is asking I was thinking of picking up both. Assuming they are both OK I could try them out and then keep which one I want and sell the other on.
He has turned both on and the motors run. I know I need to check for cracks, belt condition, intact guides etc. Anything else obvious?
