Is it any good

We had one like it at the shop where I worked. The one we had was built in the 1950's and was still running fine in 2006 when I retired. It's now in a commercial shop run by one of the machinist I worked with. In the last 70 rears the only thing I can remember doing to it is replace a couple seals and change the gear oil. I would love to have one. A used equipment dealer I do business with has several smaller sizes. I'm going to look at one in a couple weeks. If any of them are near the machine we had at work it'll make a nice addition to the shop.
 
US$315 - If that were stateside, how many of us would be jumping on it?
(well not me actually I'm out of room... :grin: )
 
Yep grab it. I paid 1200 for my Doall ML16 saw back in 2015.
 
It's hard to believe that for the equivalent of $315.00 US, you don't already have that thing in your shop. Here's the same machine for sale here in California

Yup good deal. Mine is from 1940ish and still runs like a Swiss watch.

DoAll makes excellent bandsaws, that deep throat machine would be worth around $2k here.
