1912 Silver 26″ Bandsaw
September 26, 2007 – 12:24 pmThe Silver Mfg Co. - 26″ Band saw
Circa 1912
Finally, after looking for over a year I found a Silver of fair size within my price range. This saw is going to be my main bandsaw I think. I am hoping to get a 36″er for resawing and a 14″ Delta for small work.
As it stands the saw needs a new wheel shaft turned, guide work and a strip and re-paint. The previous owner ran a foundry and bought the saw with hopes of using it to help build his patterns.
(note the tensioning assembly is on up-side down and the lower wheel was strapped in place for the photo)
The vendor’s tag - is was sold originally in either Los Angeles or San Francisco, CA.
