Would anyone want a table and set of legs for a Harbor Freight 4 X 6 bandsaw? Never used, 3-4 years old. Free for the cost of shipping.

Re: Broken Motor Mount - Need Help/Advice
Not true. Cast iron can be gas welded using cast iron filler. Cast iron piston rings can be used as filler. High temperature flux is required. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyX7tdG84vk
