Nice clean, original paint Oliver 116-D band saw that left Grand Rapids in the spring of 1943. Has a newer starter and a worklamp added, about the only changes since it left the factory 63 years ago. 5hp 220/440v three phase direct drive motor. Interestingly has an aluminum upper wheel disc and an iron lower wheel disc.

Came from a small local custom pattern shop that took excellent care of their machinery. I bought it at auction a couple years ago and sent it on to a new owner recently.
