the search for a Walker Turner bandsaw - Woodworking Talk

Maldoror · 07-28-2008, 04:20 PM

So I'm looking for my first bandsaw and I'd like it to be a 16" walker turner. Over the last 6 months or so I've noticed a few have been sold on various websites. How hard is it to find one? I'm interested in finding one to restore. and what are some comparable old machines?

let me know if you see one anywhere.

thanks,
andrew

Andrew While you will find this web site is full of great people and even better information, you are barking up the wrong tree if you are wanting to buy something used. These guys on here marry there tool for life. LOL But go take a look at www.owwm.com there on that web site, they guy's sell, buy, and restore old wood working machinery. It is the place that know all when it comes to used equipment.
