Ok let's start with the bandsaw. VERTICAL bandsaw... I wasn't aware of this fine tool until Tolis find a good ad for an old Japanese LUXO. 300 width for a small equipment, about 100kilos, most sheet metal except the upper arm. Nothing was broken, just cleaning, painting and TLC. Enjoy the photos. |

The Luxo was good but I don't really like small machines. I mean yes it was very capable but i m a fan of industry standard machines. So i decide to pass the LUXO to Tolis and continue with the next. From a technical school we found this Startrite Volant 18. Now we are talking... IDEAL welder, table guide, some bandsaw coil, and manual. Really good machine, minimal use. I didn't like the pulley system for speeds and the fact it was a bit wide for my shop. Ah and not heavy enough... |

Certainly I've been very happy with my Startrite 18V10 for the last ten years - does a good job without complaining. |

Totally agree with you, it was a great saw nothing to complain. BUT When i saw this baby i knew that the days were numbered. A Mossner SSF320 from 1968. Many consider them as the best bandsaw out there. Full cast body, with a variable speed drive and a 3 speed gear box aprox 500kg. Solid as a rock. WAS running like a dream. The last photo actually is from the day that i trade her for the big sister. SSF501!!! quite a monster. Table 800*800mm and speed from 30-7700ft/min. And of course a nice box for the bandsaws. Hope you enjoy. |
