UPDATE: This Saw is *SOLD*

Kalamazoo Model P-45 Horizontal Bandsaw

– 3ph motor (Probably 1HP, but the motor plate is AWOL. A VFD would run it, or a 1ph motor could be swapped in)
– Looks like it will do about a 14-18″ long cut (I’ll actually get a measuring tape and update this in a bit)
– Comes with a (non stock) coolant pump and a lovely metal tub as a coolant reservoir.

I’ve been looking for a manual, but haven’t found one yet. The instructions sheet under the lid is a little worse for wear, but it’s a pretty simple machine. There are a couple of YouTube videos showing restoration of this model saw from Keith Rucker of VintageMachinery. They give a good overview of these saws.

Things that it needs:
– One guide bearing (that my finger is pointing to in the pic)
– Drop cylinder needs to be cleaned up, refilled, and bled. I may get this done if it’s here for a few days more.
– A new blade (the one on it is probably 18-24TPI and DEAD)
– Some general cleanup (I haven’t done anything to clean it up as I figure that the new owner would want to do that like I would. That said, if it hangs around very long it will get cleaned up and the price will go up with that. 🙂 )
– Some adjustment of the stop switch, It’s basically a screw that hits the stop button. A longer screw would do it, or replacement with a slightly less used stop button. (forgot to get a picture of this. I can if you want.)

I tried a test cut or two and it looks like it will cut straight, but the blade just wouldn’t finish the job without forcing it a bunch, which would guarantee a crooked cut.

$500 ($450 if you want to pickup or pay before Friday)
You pick up in Hanover, PA
I MAY deliver nearby if you have a way to unload it, or ship via freight if you just have to have it, but cost of palletizing, etc. would be passed on to you.
