Little 4 X 6 bandsaw

admin

I've had one of the little 4 X 6 metal cutting  bandsaws for about 25 years.  It came from Montgomery Ward.  It has saved me so much time and energy that I can't even imagine not having it.Today I rough cut a piece of 1" square tube and it came out a tad too long.  I just put it back in the saw and made another pass.  This time it was just right.John Attached Images
Reply:How did you hold that little piece in the vice?   I'd say that saw works great. I've never tried to shorten anything by that much on the saw. Thats what a grinder is for.
Reply:I am on my 3rd HF 4x6 and i have cut 100,000 parts with them. One runs production cutting thousands of parts per day.

Reply:Me old Da had a guy that worked for him that sometimes had trouble measuring...he would say "Three times I cut still too short....."Montgomery Ward, that's a while ago......I remember them too......Love some of the old stuff....My Lincoln buzz box is 30years old. I rebuilt the switch a month ago and it still works great.Nice cut!Sign on East Texas payphone: Calls to God 40 cents......it's a local call...
