REFURBISHING a Bandsaw I Bought CHEAP at Auction!

Hi, Thanks for Hanging Out!
In this video I share with you the process to clean and refurbish this bandsaw I picked up at auction. At the time I didn't realise the drive belt was missing and just thought it needed a good clean, so I bought it. Getting the belt wasn't straightforward, but I managed to get one locally after some digging around.
The biggest transformation was the table that I got rejuvenated back to a great finish and with a coat of wax, it's nice and slick.
This is a mass produced bandsaw sold under many different brands and the local brand here in Australia don't sell parts directly which made finding the belt a little more difficult. But I'm really happy with the overall quality of the build, there's enough to adjust to get it dialed in perfectly and I was happy with the cut quality. It's at the larger end of hobby bandsaws and I have a small but difficult job to do, that this should do well.
I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching. If you have any questions or comments, please leave those below.

Hi, Thanks for Hanging Out! I picked up this bandsaw cheap at auction and once I started to work on it, I found out why . . . no drive belt. Being imported, the drive belt wasn't very easy to find, but I managed to track one down and get it ordered in. The biggest transformation was the table, which turned out great. What was your favourite bit?
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching 👍

Good afternoon sir! I have the same bandsaw but branded as a House of Tools here in Canada. I bought this saw about a year ago and the bottom blade guides are missing. Could you take photos of the bottom and top guides. The top guides on my saw are a bit different, but I like the ones on your saw.
I would like to rebuild mine to what you have there.
Thanks Gerhard
Do you now if I can private message you my email address for the photos?
