Greetings;
WooHoo my first gloat, actually the first posted gloat. Anyway, I am now the proud 2nd owner of a 1950s Atlas 12inch bandsaw along with a dozen or so 82 inch 1/8 to 1/2 blades for wood and metal. Heavy cast iron, 6 inch capacity, 4 speeds, on a steel cart w/ casters and worklight. I'm very happy, as it will serve my needs nicely. Oh, the gloat part: $30, the guy wanted 25!!! It needs tires (12 x 1) and the 1/3hp motor needs a desawdusting, but it runs quietly...I already have a 3/4 hp motor that may find it's way onto this eventually. This saw sold for $105 in the 50s, w/o the cart, slowspeed arbor, or worklight.

Thanks for allowing a guy to celebrate,
