FS: 1955 Craftsman 12" Bandsaw (103.24280) Enumclaw law, WA ?Offered is a meticulously restored, single-family owned 1955 Craftsman 12-inch bandsaw. My grandfather purchased this machine brand new in 1955, specifically ordering it out of the catalog with the Factory 1 HP Continuous-Duty Motor and the Factory Heavy-Duty Flared Base. This is a true, period-correct package—not a modern motor swap—and it has stayed together as a single unit for over 70 years. ?I have just completed a frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration to honor its history while upgrading it for another lifetime of heavy shop use. ?Mechanical & Electrical Overhaul: ?Bearings: Every single bearing was removed, thoroughly inspected, deep-cleaned, and repacked with fresh grease. This includes the bearings on both wheels as well as both front and rear motor bearings. ?Wiring Upgrade: The original 1955 1 HP motor was opened and fully serviced. All cracked, corroded, or brittle wiring was completely stripped and upgraded to modern gauge wire with proper heat-shrink wrapping for absolute safety and reliability. ?Tires: Brand new Polyurethane tires installed for superior blade tracking and longevity. ?Vibration Isolation (Triple-Dampened): ?Mounted with custom rubber isolation mounts on the motor. ?The saw frame is rubber-dampened where it meets the heavy-duty cast base. ?Sits on padded feet to eliminate floor resonance. ?Driven by a precision 4-step pulley paired with a vibration-killing Red Link Belt. ?Aesthetics & Extras: ?Finished in a custom industrial Graphite Grey with Metallic Copper accents. ?Includes the original matching 1955 Craftsman miter gauge. ?Integrated workspace light is fully rewired and functional. ?Price: $1,000 (Firm) Location: Enumclaw, WA. Local pickup only. This is heavy iron with a 70 lb motor, so bring a truck and a strong back. |
