Shop on the old barn
dominus:
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.
dominus:
more..
dominus:
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...
awemawson:
Certainly I've been very happy with my Startrite 18V10 for the last ten years - does a good job without complaining.
dominus:
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.
