I have the same saw at my shop and we use the heck out of it. Ours has a coolant tray under the vise bed and a pump thats driven by the drive wheel via a ring gear. When I keep the machinists away I get about 6 mo out of the blade(they dont know how dulling it is to cut hard stuff to fast, blade speed) congadulations.

Wendell,
Congrats on the Johnson saw. Believe it or not I have the same saw at our block plant. It's a nice saw. Ours has had a rough life. It doesn't cut straight anymore it's not bad just not perfect. I need to give the old girl a tune up. Well I hope that you like your new toy and at that price I think that you will.

What a lucky dog!!!!
I like old iron best. How about a few test cuts.

That is a fine looking saw. Looks real solid. The price is right too.

ScottV, Bulldog, Drscotch,

Thanks a bunch for the advise on band saws. I was minutes away from buying the turnpro when I was given a 10x14 Johnson w/ 4 new blades for free! The shop even had a chain fall so loading it up was a snap. Put a new blade on it cleaned it up a little bit and it cuts like a dream.

Sory the pics are so poor. Only had my phone.
