I wish I had room for this monster.

Geeeezzzzzzzzzzz !

I bet that thing weighs almost 2 tons.

But it's still kind a nice :hmm3grin2orange:

Do you have 3 phase power ? or would you convert it over to single phase ?

That thing is way bigger than I need. If I brought that home it would live under a tarp for a long time til I figured out how to get in my building. Probably would be piece by piece.

The nice thing is you wouldn't need to bolt it down.

I have a few 3 phase tools I'm trying to decide what to do with them. I like the prices of the 3phase tools around here. They usually sell them for scrap value.

I'm big on Industrial machinery and have a fork truck at my house.

I'f I bought that it would be outside covered with a tarp till it rusted up and then to the scrap yard for junk iron...

But I do have 3 phase power ! :hmm3grin2orange:

That'd make a nice bandsaw mill powered by a 65hp Wisconsin 465d.....then it'd be over a ton. Well maybe over a few tons?

If big is better, too much is just enough.

I have a 32" bandsaw in my shop and love it. The big heavy bandsaws really shine for resawing. Not the easiest machines to move though. If you can get it home for a good price do it.

You won't be converting that to single phase, it is direct drive and not an off the shelf motor. Your best bet is to build a rotory phase converter, the guys over at OWWM.com can walk you through it. If you have never used a direct drive bandsaw they are much smoother and a real treat, Oliver was one of the best.
