Machine Information
Serial Number:	8501-A
Machine Type:	Band Saw
Machine Description:	Condition appears good, not yet put into service.
Owner:	Patrick Corry
Manufacture Date:	1952/1953
Notes:	This machine was apparently used for years in a custom home builder’s shop. They acquired a more modern saw and planned to scrap this one. My friend who works for the builder asked if I wanted it, and I eagerly said yes. Now in my barn shop, it will be used in general woodworking, and particularly in the restoration of old, traditional wood/canvas canoes. Equipped with the original 1hp/ 3 phase motor, I have purchased a digital phase converter for use with my single phase/220 volt supply. Photos to come.
