  1. after having this problem, I went out and bought this............it must have been a lucky day, buying a near new horizontal bandsaw for only 100 bucks on craigslist...................I had to drive to delaware to get it........http://www.iforgeiro...900#entry282900

    You should put the lower shelf on the base for this, I have one with and it makes it quite sturdy. It probably already has holes to bolt it to. The ones that came with one it is just a light sheet metal pan but a friend got one like yours and he did 1/2" sq tube frame and expanded metal after I told him he needed it. Good saw.
    By removing the back vice jaw you can cut 8" material. You might want to check the oil in the gearbox as well, mine had just a light smear of grease when I got it, now has gear oil in it.
  2. I base the 8K number on the stated condition (very good), and extra dies and tooling to go with it.
    Some recent sales on fleabay for mechanical hammers : Rebuilt Little Giant 50 lb@ $5000, rebuilt 25lb LG @ $4306, Kerihard 30 lb @ $3250 2 more LG @ 2800 ea, 1 25lb , 1 50lb, and no longer listed the anyang/striker 165 that sold for aprox $7800, about 1/2 of new value.
    Also a big blu 155 on there with a buy it now of $5900.
    Kuhn is a way better hammer than any mentioned above in my limited opinion. Is 40% off of new a fair price if in new condition?

  3. the add has been deleted but here is the text. for $2800:


    This German made power hammer is a remakable tool for the serious blacksmith or metal worker. Hard to find, this is a Model K-O, 3hp, 230/460 volt. I am selling this for a friend who's husband is deceased. I know nothing about this tool other than it works and has seen only moderate use. Serious buyers will be given the opportunity to test it out. I should also say this is one heavy dude and is bolted to a concrete filled frame. Buyer will need to be able to remove it. We are asking $2,800 for the machine, base and any accessories that we can determine go with it. Please reply with a name and phone number so I can call you. Check this link to see original spec sheets on the Type K-O hammer:
