Hello all. After googling around for a while, I have to pose my question to the experience at SMC.
Two years ago I bought a used 1981 14" Rockwell bandsaw that came with the original 1/2 HP Delta...
Congrats Augusto. Please keep us updated with your findings.
I saw a preproduction 14|12 a few months ago in Laguna's warehouse. From what I remember it looked very nicely built.
After a summer...
I have the LV fence also. Works well enough but is taller than it needs to be. If I am trying to square a thin rail that I have clamped in the face vise, I am often out of luck since the fence...

I have the same bench. The holes are 30mm IIRC. I am also looking for hold down solutions. Dictum of Germany offers an expensive "Insertion Clamp" that works with the Ulmia's 30mm holes,...

Nice saws.
I spent one half hour at Craftsman Studio last July. Awesome store. So clean, and everything top shelf. Bill is a great proprietor. I would have spent several hours ogling and...
Lets keep this thread going... Post pictures or it isn't real... ;)
Just picked up a lightly used 1982 Rockwell BS (28-243) for $300 that came with 6 blades and a dozen heavy duty Jorgensen bar...
Fantastic gauge. Thanks!
Eagle Tools web site is admittedly lacking...always has been. I was just there today and spoke to Jesse about their second hand Inca Bandsaw inventory.
