    Default Partially Reconditioned LS Barker 32" Bandsaw $1500

    I've mostly taken the bandsaw apart, cleaned most of it, re-greased, purchased and fitted new PU tyres, new 3phase 2hp motor and VFD (So you can run the 3 phase motor on single phase power, and have a ramp up and down speed) I have tested her, and she's 99% balanced and running beautifully - needs new guards (I have the old home made ones which you're welcome to take)

    The guides could do with some work, but they're functioning fine.

    Why am I selling her? I just don't have the space :/ She has history, as one of the original saws used by Preston Motors to cut up sub-rails for old Chevy trucks.

    Weight - lots, heavy... I am happy to dismantle and help you load into your trailer, but I'm thinking we'd need maybe four people minimum for the base, or a very sturdy trolley.

    Anyone want to come and pick up the bandsaw (less motor) for a couple hundred? Queenscliff, Victoria.

    Yeah this would be sitting in my shed now if it was in WA mate. Maybe try posting it on the Facebook Australian woodworking for sale group?

    Is the overhead arm/top wheel assembly part of the base, or it bolts onto the base?

    Did you have a side shot?

    Convinced by a change in circumstances to keep the saw - saw if anyone was on the edge of throwing their hat in the ring.
