DS800 Bandsaw question

Ron Bauer

Does anyone have knowledge of this bandsaw? There is one up for auction locally. I am looking for a large capacity BS (that's bandsaw!) for rounding bowl blanks. I can not find any info on the net. TIA. Ron.

Any idea of brand name, size, age, etc. ? More info may get you more help. I don't know anything that could help, but that is very often the case for me with most anything. $:\$

My name is Don and I'm a Turning addict. There, I finally can admit I have a problem. The problem is not enough time to turn! I work as a Medical Imaging Tech for a living but that's just so I can light and heat the shop and buy more tools. I've been turning since 2000 and it has changed my life. I never had a creative outlet before I discoverd Woodturning and now I can't get enough. After I turned my first pen, my wonderful wife saw how excited I was and bought me a mini lathe. She now refers to herself as a "Turning Widow". She is a potter and quilter so she understands the obsession. My interests in turning are many and varied and I'm sure I will not live long enough to try everything I'd like to, but I'll give it a shot. Unfortunately we don't have any children or pets so you'd think I have all kinds of free time to turn, but for some reason I don't. I belong to the Adirondack Woodturners Association in upstate New York, the Mohawk Valley Woodturners, the Old Country Guild of Woodturnes and AAW, as well as the Northeastern Woodworkers Association. (I'd also like to learn to do flatwork someday.) Happy and Safe Turning, Don

I think one thing to check would be whether is single phase or 3 phase. You may not have 3 phase and would have to buy a converter or change the motor.
