The band saw blade gantry/handler and sharpener that comes with the bandsaw weighs ~6 tons. Price is "Free", pickup is from a small town in the middle of British Columbia. Power requirements: ~60 kW.

I just like the hand wheel on the tail stock, it's like something from the land of the giants
Oh, and I would order it but I don't think my letter box is big enough.

Nice one but the problem is obtaining blanks that size now.

The bloke that used to do my machining in Sale had one like that and he reckons the hardest part was using the micrometer to measure the work.

My shed not big enough. Damn it. Rekon you would need an oxygen tank to climb up to the top.

Agreed,it can be PITA with big Micrometers,the biggest I have been around was 3m+

All that and powerfeed where do i sign? how do i move it? we still have logs up here , perhaps not quite that size . cheers Bob
