I'd like to trade an Inca bandsaw...

[Chiro75]

I found an Inca bandsaw this winter and being that I have no experience with motors, wheel ratios, etc I would like to get rid of it. It is Inca's lower end model, which sells for $700-$800 I think. No motor, is missing the aluminum doo-dad that the fence would tighten down on, and has no blades. I don't know bandsaws, but based on my previous experience with mechanical things, it seems to be in good overall shape. I wish I had the know-how to get her in shape, but I don't think I even want to try right now. I would be amenable to a cash deal, steel, handle materials, blades, finished knives, damn near anything. It is big, so the other party will want to drive here to get it, without a doubt. If you are between here and Des Moines, IA, too, I could probably get it to you sometime in the next three months (if you're in Chicago, even earlier) or so because I have family there. Email me to discuss possibilities.

Sorry to say it but from the sounds of it I believe a person would spend more fixing it up and getting it running than it is possibly worth. How did you come across such a machine in this condition?

CL, it was left for dead by its previous owner. Really the only thing needed to get it running again are blades and a motor, which if you know what you are doing I suppose wouldn' t run one much at all if you know where to look (at least DIY articles in Blade make it sound that way!). The fence is unusable without the little strip it clamps onto, but I suspect that may be a fairly standard part. The push stick is present and works great, with excellent angle control. Like I said, I am no expert on bandsaws, but it looks to me like a motor and a blade would make it perfectly usable. Obviously I'm not looking for much in trade. Also, if anyone can give me some specific tips on how to get this sucker running again (particularly what type of motor I need, where to buy belts, and what size of drive pully I should get, as well as from where) then I'd really rather get it up and running myself.
