I am giving up on my Buffalo 4 x 6 bandsaw.
Who knew you were supposed to check the lub level every year.
The bronze drive gear has been shot for the past five years and the saw has just been taking up space in my shop.
I had great intentions but never did anything.
I have modified my 14" wood cutting band saw with a variable speed motor so I can use it to cut metal.
I recently purchased a Milwaukee portable band saw and have used that often.
I think the final nail in the coffin is last year I purchased a
that saw cuts 100 times faster than any bandsaw.
Now I would like to put a cabinet or shelf unit in place of the bandsaw.
Getting it out of my shop could be a chalenge I probably will have to disassemble it.
I have new bi-metal 64-1/2" blades and a box of old blades that came with the saw so no idea?
what their condition is. So if anybody wants them send me a email.
I paid $50.00 for this saw and used it for 10 years so I got my money out of it.
With all of the discussions on aligning the blade and fixes I really do not want to take the time
to follow all of the suggestions made on making the saw better and replacing the drive gear.
