I recently purchased a metal band saw for 45dollars. It’s made in 1985- that’s 25years old! Way older than all my boogers might I add! The bearings were going bad on it (after 25years) and so i replaced them with little fuss.

When I did purchased the saw, I found out that the saw blade was installed backwards hence it was cutting with a backstroke which dulled the blade real quick! The owner gave me a rusted up blade and said it was no good- I put it on anyways and it cuts like butter! Now I need to bring this to a machine shop to grind the blade adjuster so it will cut true. For 45 dollars, I’m not fussing…
