horizontal bandsaw - good buy?

admin

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/tls/2145112612.htmlCalled the guy, surface rust, no casters, old and heavy.  He cut a small piece of pipe and said it cut fine.  Lubed everything with WD40 when he ran it.I'm thinking it will need paint, casters, general low key maintenance.  What do you guys think?  What are some trouble spots?

Reply:call their customer service and ask some annoying questions as though you owned it .if they dont help dont buy it. it is probably a better made saw than you can buy new for 250 or wherever you beat him down to..
Reply:We have a Carolina bandsaw at school, and i love the thing... Its fast, quiet, and dead-on accurate...Its a wet-cut saw, and hydraulic. You just press the green button, and walk away, and come back, and you have a perfect, clean cut. Id drag that thing home in a minute :-)[Account Abandoned 8/8/16 Please Do Not Attempt Contact Or Expect A Reply]. See you on YouTube! -ChuckE2009
