Kalamazoo P47 horizontal band saw

[Jan Schultz]

I have an oppt'y to purchase a Kalamazoo horizontal band saw model P47, made in 1947! It's been used at a local shop since 1947, they cleaned it all up, and are now selling it. They replaced it with a bigger saw- and kept the P47 in case they needed it since it was "in such good condition." They have now determined that their new saw can handle all their cutting needs and no longer need the P47. Anyone have experience with a Kalamazoo P47 saw?

A few of the shops i worked in over the last 40 years had some. You can still get parts for them. http://www.clausing-industrial.com/partsService.asp ...Bob

great saws!

Doubt u will ever need parts! Thoose saws are built like tanks. If u have the room buy it! Onky question is it water cooled on the blade? If not build a tray for it and install a pump.
