    Default Wadkin DO bandsaw in Sydney

    On FB marketplace this morning.
    i thought about it as it looks unmolested re the drive, a V pulley instead of flat.
    It would have fitted under the lineshaft nicely, just as well it sold as I’m a little too busy currently.
    The price $500.

    Thanks for putting up the photos H (especially the tag photo, which I'll add to the thread on the Canadian forum next update).

    I particularly like that it's still got the shifter for the flat belt drive. Nice.

    Cheers, Vann.

    Six inches .

    The DN has 30" wheels, while the DO has 36" wheels. They were replaced by the 30" and 36" DR bandsaws ~1935.
