  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area.

About 8ft tall and weighs 2300 lbs:eek:
 
Fabbing a table would be a job and a half, the DoAll ones are a large, heavy casting, very robust.

Deal at twice the price, makes me feel good, I got mine for less with the table, welder, grinder, fence, and four sets of blade guides. Mind you I did have to switch a plug so it would fit my power receptacles.

Seems to have been listed since October 12th. No table, no blade welder - if one had the floor space it would be a cool project (I’ve been in quite a few shops, doesn’t seem like a common use machine - perhaps that certain task, cheaper than a laser/water jet etc).
 
Great saw. Owner can go swimming with it, without the table on it, for that price!

No blade welder is a PITA, but a minor one.

Hard no, until the price is less than the gas money to get it from somewhere close, esp. if the table was originally a Hydraulic power feed one!

Around here, I've seen really bad DoAll bandsaws in terrible shape, incomplete, go for 1500-2000$ The only thing that is hard to fix or fabricate your way out of, is the vari-drive. If that wasn't working well, then it should be a hard NO. Tables are available, for a price, but making your own gimbles and putting a 1/2" slab on top isn't rocket science either. But that is if your hobby is fixing up machines.

Everybody's hobbhy is different. Values differ. I can only say what it is based on my values and skills.

Yeah, fill yer boots. Not a little bit interested, here, at any price over what I can get for yesterday's beer cans though!

Seen too many better equipped and more importantly "Complete" saws out there, to think this is worth any money at all!
