Ohio Forge ProSeries Model 510-505 horizontal bandsaw. I wish I had pictures of when I got it, but I had to rob this one off of a Google search. That being said, she was in far worse shape than the one referenced. Complete tear down with all bearings replaced. New blade and trued up the drive wheels. Cleaned and treated all hardware. Motor completely rebuilt and rewired (didn't need rewound). Retrofit a pneumatic linear actuator in place of the spring tension set up. I still need to dial that in as the arm and opposing vector require too much force for that little guy by himself (really don't want to go hydraulic, but may have to). Finally, 2 coats primer and 3 coats Rustoleum Professional High Performance Enamel. Black accents done by hand with black enamel. One thing I can say, this is number 5 of this style I've restored, and dialing these little ones in is a lost art. The bigger they are, the less of a challenge. These little 4"x6" dudes are like herding cats sometimes. Cuts like a dream and using it as we speak on a 4" I beam section destined for a benchtop bearing press.
