Bandsaw

[gobbypunk]

Hi everyone so I now have this big Startright bandsaw and after some buggering around we got going so the next thing is getting a band for it but the plate on the side says it can differ by loads in length but that can’t be right so hopefully hear is a photo of the plate with the speck on it and as usual I look forward to your thoughts

The band length varies with the throat of the saw (due to varying wheel size).  Measure your throat and take it from there.  The only options are 12, 14, 18, 20, 24 or 30" throats, each with a specific band length.

 

The model nmber is not clear on the plate but looks as if it MAY be a 20.  Get the tape measure out and check!  Similarly, a backup would be to run a pirce of string round the two wheels and then measure that.

Thanks it should be a good saw when I finally get it sorted and better still I got it for free

Is its the 351/352 model mark (startrite bandsaw) correct spelling.
