A couple of years ago, I inherited my grandfather's 70 year old Delta bandsaw. I put about a hundred dollars in minor repairs into it, and have been very happy with the saw.
Today, the motor finally died. Much to my amazement, I discovered it was the ORIGINAL motor. I suspect my grandfather rebuilt it...maybe more than once. I just ordered a new 1hp motor for it. Glad I haven't given away my old Ohio Forge bandsaw, since it will take about a month to get the new motor...it is back ordered. Boy it is hard to go back to the old one though. I REALLY miss that half inch carbide blade!
This is what I bought. Other buyers have used it on bandsaws, so it should do the job for me.
