Restored Bandsaw
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Chris Vesper
Vesper purchased this bandsaw in 1998 and took a year to transform it from “an inoperable wreck” to the centerpiece of his workshop. The bandsaw, which he believes was made around 1900, is huge (he calls it The Bandosawrus on his Web site), with wheels that are 2 ft. dia. The frame is a hollow box casting and the whole machine weighs more than 1,600 lb. For safety, Vesper made guards for the wheels, which were removed for the photo. He says the machine works extremely well and has a resaw capacity of up to 13 in.
