Thanks Tom. Original guides and everything are all in pretty good condition barring a bit of rust on bearings and some scoring on thrust bearings but was intending to renew and upgrade.... not essential by any means. Tires appear in good condition. I suspect the machine has had very little wear...

Thanks Tom.. yeah no problem finding a blade. Just more problematic finding parts such as upgraded guides.

Well, having stripped it and overehusiasticakly bought a new blade I don't think this is a bas315. 315 look to have a blade length of 2235. The existing one on this is 2410 or thereabouts. Bugger. Anyone any further thoughts ? 34cm throat.

Much appreciated. I'll be properly tearing it down at the weekend. Does look like a bas15 tho I'll be damned if I can tell the difference between the 15 and 16 and various models. Looks to be 13+ inches throat to the blade and twin speed. Thinking of picking up the powertools upgrade kit for the...

Thanks Droogs, Not Andy no, Have friends in common with Paul Macdonald in Edinburgh although I think he's just moved his armories/workshop.

Hey Lons, not much mining goin on nowadays in truth. That's an 1840s Austro-Hungarian Engineers knife. Antique but a functional blade. I think I was sharpening or polishing it at the time these were taken, main job on was straightening some oak for poleaxe shafts. My workshops normally full of...

Thanks. People kept telling me that 30 odd sockets was excessive... I was sure I knew better :)

Ah been looking at that, its finding time around work to get down. my setup is modest and a bit chaotic but I have a little bit of everything.

Not far at all, I'm in New Hartley so likely only a couple of miles away.

Thanks Tom, I picked it up inexpensively and won't be asking too much from it. I appreciate the advice even if I admit to being a little disappointed. I'll have a proper play with it and see how I get on. It's not even in the shop yet so a bit early for me to be too down on it.

Thanks guys. Yeah a manual is the first goal, a new blade and then perhaps addditional parts as I start to clean it up.

Evening folks. I dabble with a bit of everything but expert at little. I have a few toys in terms of a small engineering lathe, wood lathe, MIG welding gear, 72 inch belt grinder and the usual bits and bobs found in a home workshop, nowt special. I spend a fair bit of time working on...

Evening folks. Newbie here signed up initially hoping someone can give me a bit of a pointer on make and model of a bandsaw from the attached image. Seller had no clue and I can't see any obvious markings. Not much to go on but I'm guessing if you're in the know it might jump out at you. Cheers.
