Ever heard of “Roll-in” brand?

I’ve got a line on a used bandsaw, but I’ve never heard of the brand. It’s a Roll-in bandsaw. I know it’s American-made by Karkut in Ohio, but other than that, nada. It’s listed as a gravity-feed as well. Again, I have no idea what that means. Any help would be appreciated!

I beleive its a Horizontal Bandsaw - The type used for cutting metal stock. Gravity feed means thats its own weight makes it cut through materials. Better models use gas cylinders or other means to regulate feed and speed of cut.

Good Luck

It's a metal working bandsaw. Too slow rpm for woodworking in general.
