well. this is how it was done
First iteration. didnt think this will work
1st.jpg
2nd iteration. not easy when you are on your own. whole thing was over in 2 hours. planning took the longest time. most of the weight was at the bottom. the garage door just clears the top of the bandsaw.
will manually wiggle it to its new home tomorrow.

just an update. I sold both bandsaw...
After I moved the Wadkin into its position I listed the Sicar for sale. it was gone within a day.
As I was gazing the Wadkin, I realise it is beautifully made but it is just too big for my workshop. plus I have a big panel saw coming...
so I put it on the market .... again, gone witin 24 hours!
now I am looking at a decent size European bandsaw say the likes of SCM/Felder all start at $8k NZD + gst!!?? its just a bandsaw!SCM L'Invincibile si X, SCM L'Invincibile S7, SCM TI 145EP, SCM Sandya Win 630, Masterwood OMB1V, Meber 600, Delta RJ42, Nederman S750, Chicago Pneumatics CPRS10500, Ceccato CDX12

All the wear items on a bandsaw are relatively easy to replace. I would be looking for an Italian 600 or 700 used, but given how quickly you sold yours they obviously go fast.

I bought my 24” Hafco early ‘90’s one for $500 and after a day of cleaning and tuning, it will do me as a big resaw for some time. I really think that having a massive bandsaw is a bit of a waste of space, in reality, you’ll probably do most of your ripping on your table saw, quick and easy to change a blade.

I think that local industry must have settled on 24” saws as their standard over the years. I am on my third Italian 24” saw and only rarely see bigger. (When I lived in Melbourne I saw a 36” Barker that ended up being given away just to get it out of the shop, and a saw so huge the bottom wheel was below the floor. That one was at an organ maker’s shop auction and I think it sold for $100. They were three days getting it out of there. I have sometimes wondered what they ended up using it for. It seriously must have had 60” wheels. And a massive open frame motor not much smaller than a 45 gallon drum.
Yes to Riverbuilder's comments. I use my saw mostly for resawing. I sometimes think it would be good to have a smaller saw for curved work, but I only do big curved work which works on my old 24” Agazzani with a 3/8” blade.

I have two other bandsaws( in use) in my workshop, an 18” Luna which has about a 1/2” blade on it, and a 12” woodfast which has a 1/4” on it, between these three, I’m covered and don’t have to change bands much.
Unless Albert is doing resawing, he’d probably get away with a 14” or 18” and change bands every now and again and use his panel saw for big ripping.

had a quick look last night, cant believe my eyes. Hafco bandsaw cost close to $4k, SCM S540P series starts at $8k. I know Hafco will do the job but with my shop almost full of SCM gear.... might just bite the bullet and order a SCM.
