I have for sale a good condition horizontal/vertical metal band saw.

I bought this new over 25 years ago and it has served me well. I installed new blade alignment rollers a few months ago and it cuts very straight. It runs smoothly and all components are in very good condition.
This Busy Bee saw was made in Taiwan vs the ones they now sell that come from China.
Long ago I had removed the original (flimsy) BB legs and mounted the saw on a cart for mobility and extra storage.
I recently upgraded to a better band saw (a JET). I put the JET on the cart and put the legs from the JET on the BB. The JET legs are heavy duty with large wheels compared to what’s on a new Chinese BB.
For an extra $30 I am including a good condition Husky compressor. It is: oil lubricated; 3gal; 125psi; 2.4cfm @ 90psi; and 1.0 Hp. (I much prefer to sell both as a package deal. So $250 for both saw and compressor)
