macbruce Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Roll-In, had it for 15 years and I still love it. It's the most versatile saw I've ever used. I can cut a 8''x12'' I beam or cut out a grape leaf if I like. I've even made my own 1''half round stock in long lengths with the help of an special vice I made...I could go on and on....They are a bit spendy but I see them on ebay for pretty reasonable prices fairly often.

Frank Turley Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 14" Wilton Tradesman. It's OK, but takes an oddball 92 1/2" blade, which I can special order. Also, a Central Machinery (Taiwan) that I use horizontally for a length cutoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosox Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Cool one . When did you buy your 14" Wilton Tradesman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavala Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I have a 7x12 Wilton, I've been happy with it. I bought the saw scratch and dent from a dealer in Nashville for a good price. They weld the saw blades for me when I need new ones but I've had great success silver soldering ones that have broken. I've considered buying a roll or spool(whatever they're called) and just doing it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Turley Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I got the Wilton about six years ago or so by mail order, I forget from whom? Enco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have two - an old Kearney and Trecker vertical, 3-phase, 10 speeds - and a very old Craftsman horizontal. Whoever made the Craftsman for Sears did a great job, it's still cutting straight after more than 40 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothBore Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 26" DoAll vertical, ... and a 8" x 12" Johnson ( Dake-Johnson now ) horizontal cut-off saw. Both are 25 or 30 years old, ... and going strong. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willway Forge Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have the Dewalt hand held that must have a million miles on it. I picked it up used six years ago in a very used condition. I have run about 15 to 20 blades through it on countless projects. If this one should ever quit on me (which is highly unlikely) it will be replaced with a brand new one. These are fantastic machines. Seriously, the other makers of these saws just dont compare. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosox Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have a newly owned Trajan 8 x 12 bandsaw . What made me amazed with this band saw is its using strong gear box and its coolant system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 bosox-it was made in 1957. I contacted Grob for the info. Whenever I bought a new machine tool at an auction I contacted the maker for manuals, and when it was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
