    Blank cutting tool..gloat

    I hauled this bandsaw home on Monday. It is a Tannewitz GHE36. It weighs 2900 lbs and is almost nine feet tall. I has a hydraulic braking mechanism to stop the blade. We dragged it off the trailer (homemade, compliments are welcome!) and almost tipped it over.

    Now that is a saw to be proud of! Kind of big for pen blanks though...... Hope no one pulled anything getting that monster into the shop!

    That thing is huge!

    Thomas, I would have to build another shop to get that thing in it! You can do some great resawing with that monster! So was the cost good or out of this world? I need a bigger band saw some day but that day is slow to get here.

    Have fun with you new monster!

    A friend of mine has one very similar to that. He completely rebuilt it and it's really something to cut on. You're going to love yours.

    Tannewitz still makes the saw(it's the GHE model) I found one dealer site on the net pricing a new one at $19,000.00. I bought mine for considerably less, and although it works, needs some additional investment for a rebuild.

    Jeesh...I see some of these huge old saws on Craigslist from time to time like this and it makes me wonder how accessible new blades are, and how much blades cost for these sorts of things?
