This is the smaller of the old Beaver line of bandsaws. It appears that machines with num,bers commencing with a 2 (like 2200 Table Saw or this 2300 Band saw) Were the lower end units and typically had fewer features than their larger (but still small) siblings.
This particular bandsaw is interesting because it appears identical to the pre-Rockwell machines (much better IMO) yet had the Rockwell name on otherwise older style badges. This saw must have been made shortly after the Rockwell acquisition.

**** There are no manuals for Beaver Bandsaws evident on the MS. I would be happy to scan and submit if you have one. ****
