I visited the nearest Woodcraft store and asked about a Steel City drill press. The guys working there didn&#8217;t seem to know what to do. At first, they claimed they could order one. Then they said they couldn&#8217;t. Then they said they had to ask the boss. He&#8217;s on vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I looked at other stuff. I found some interesting band saws. The most intriguing: a 16&#8243; Walker Turner which is still being used in a shop. Price: $500.<\/p>\n<p>This is a really neat piece of equipment. Almost all of it is cast iron. The motor is small (3\/4 HP), but people claim they will resaw up to 11 1\/2&#8243;. If I got this thing and I decided I didn&#8217;t want to keep it, I could almost surely unload it for what I paid.<\/p>\n<p>It could use some paint and TLC, however.<\/p>\n<p>I also found a Jet 18&#8243; saw for $549, but it&#8217;s a model nobody likes. The resaw height is not good, and people complained about the saws wobbling.<\/p>\n<p>I might give that Walker Turner a try. I can probably dismantle it and shove it in the Explorer, but even if I can&#8217;t, I can rent a van for almost nothing. I&#8217;d have to drive eight hours, unfortunately. But then I am eccentric, so that&#8217;s not a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It Saws Wood &#038; Will Also Serve as an Anchor for a Destroyer Sorry I wandered off today.
