Bandsaw

[irish surgeon]

Guys anyone have an idea about this saw, it's not been worked with two years but is surprisingly in good shape. Looking to bring home as a breakdown mill. Cuts 4ft wide and 30ft long

Duetz Diesel engine works off the button

Plenty of potential....even has a log ready on the rack !!

Anyone else think a half cut log is an omen of a breakdown?

 

Still, plenty to do there so what's a breakdown more or less?

 

Nice project

A breakdown would be a saw for bigger timber your 3ft plus that would make it tidier before it goes up on the smaller bandsaw. In relation to the saw having a half cut log up on it, the owner said he basically had a project in mind and made the first cut in a macro but then he said things went a different direction with work and he said the saw stayed as was since then which is two years ago. He starts it every 3 months to keep engine fresh but hasn't ran it since said time. Very good shape with no deep rust just some surface and belts need replacing but other than that it's all cosmetic. I really like it

Just me being sceptical then, looks like a good project

 

When I said break down I meant as in not working rather than for breaking down big timber:laugh1:

I think it looks awesome.

😂👍 I thought that's what you meant

[se7enthdevil]

you must start a thread documenting its journey back to working order mate, that looks like a fantastic machine...

 

any idea of who made it?

[irish surgeon]

Most definitely 👍, I saw it this morning for first time but saw no make on head but to be fair I wasn't looking that hard for it

Has anyone here come across a machine like this or know anything about them
