Wilton 3410 7x12 Horiz Band Saw Questions

el bob · May 30, 2013

I might have an opportunity to pickup for free (maybe) a non-running Wilton 3410 band saw that sat outside for a while for. It's covered in dirt/grime, some rust and the blade is sitting loose kind of wavy looking.

I see that this style of 7x12 bandsaw is made/sold under many different names with widely varying prices.

Are there any differences between these saws?

I see the lower priced (Enco, HF, etc) sometimes go for sale used for pretty cheap (couple hundred bucks). Is there any advantage to trying to get a Wilton model back into shape?

Are these saws absolutely identical? If not, are there any advantages to the Wilton model that support the higher price tag?

Thanks

Sorry. I don't know how to differentiate those saws but they're surely not identical. Found a manual for the wilton http://bandsawmanuals.com/manuals/view/676 .

If it is all there FREE is hard to argue with. I have used a Wilton 3410 for 15+ years with multiple operators from when it was brand new. It is a reliable saw. Not sure what the rain has done to the electrical items, but the mechanical items can be cleaned up and bearings replaced.
