Annoyingly much too big for my lathe
Designed for something with a 4MT Headstock with at least an inch through the headstock.
I was gambling on them being 3C collets but they are 4C!
Draw bar has built in dividing and an end stop it's mint.

I was looking to upgrade the Myford from ER25 to a drawbar setup so looked like just the job. Sigh will I ever learn.

4MT was a guess as common for 4C collet adaptors I haven't measured it.

I acquired a three phase 63amp consumer unit courtesy of @Welderpaul
And a load of 6" fittings for my flowbench.

Looks to be a generic "4x6 bandsaw" (lots of hits on Google).Some days ago my local men's shed acquired some more freebies from the same generous source that provided us with a very decent anvil, a swage block and a large bench shear. Four items in total: a Draper bandsaw, a Sealley pillar drill, a Miller Integra 201 MIG welder and a pretty big cut-off saw with a 16" steel blade (can't recall the name). I went to take photos of them all but the batteries on my camera died half way through the session.I'll add shots of the MIG welder and the cut-off saw next time I'm in the shed.

It needs a bit of a clean up but is working perfectly and, once I'd reset the vice, is cutting square. Cuts dry and the feed is a case of balancing spring tension against weight. Any info on this saw would be appreciated.
Available in umpteen colours, with very slight alterations, for at least the last 20yrs from a myriad of suppliers.
Mine is from "nutool", but I've seen Clarke, Axminster, and Sealey badges on exactly the same saw.
The bent metal stand is rubbish, but the saws themselves are actually pretty good once fettled.
There are LOTS of websites and threads on various forums across the internet detailing mods/improvements and info on them.
First thing I'd do is get rid of the stand.
Then add coolant.
Then a hydraulic feed.

You missed off add grease/oil to the gearbox before it self destructs!

If you're looking to move them on, would you be able to bung up a few pics and dimensions please?I was looking to upgrade the Myford from ER25 to a drawbar setup so looked like just the job. Sigh will I ever learn.

Wish you had not posted now collet envy
My Dad started a compound marine engine but never finished much past the castings with no real plans drawn up hopefully this will give more incentive to carry on and figure it out a steam supply was one of the barriers this is how far I got.

I acquired a second hand one recently and agree with you that it's a very good saw for the money
The stand would benefit from some bracing and a decent wheel/castor set up. Coolant feed would be an option but only if I used it heavily. What do you mean by hydraulic feed - are you referring to the lowering/lifting mechanism?
