Band saw Tauco/Delta

[Scoble 91]

Hi guys, basically I’m after an old Tauco 12-14 inch bandsaw with the reduction gear box so I can sensibly cut metal. Any one have one or know of one for sale? Thanks I’m advance. Sam.

Getting a cheap three phase machine which has a "dual voltage motor"
see 220 or 240v on the motor nameplate, is another solution.
Stick a VFD on it and have a fully adjustable speed at the turn of a knob.
Fully adjustable soft start too, so you can run it off a 13a plug.

Anyone know much about these bandsaw?
Are they worth buying? / Worthwhile upgrade in a 10" bandsaw?!
