Machine Information
Serial Number:	7943435
Machine Type:	Band saw, metal-cutting
Machine Description:	Powermatic 143 Wood/Metal 14" Bandsaw
Owner:	Joel Roltgen
Manufacture Date:	1979
Notes:	Came from a mold-maker shop. Had been out of use for 10+ years before I acquired it. Data plates were there, but had been relocated to the front cover of the machine due to the disconnect being mounted on the back where the data plates had originally been placed from the factory. Had a Leeson 3/4 HP 3P motor (not original) which I replaced with a 1HP 1P Baldor for no reason other than I had the motor available or would have needed to purchase another VFD. New tires, oil, and belts and it cuts like a beast!
