Nice saw.  I just picked up a 30" Yates American Y30 Snowflake bandsaw about a month ago.  2850 lbs. of awesome.

Thanks guys. This saw was advertised as a 24"er , but when I noticed 8 spokes instead of 6 I took a chance and went for the 4 hour ride to look at it . Sure enough it is a 27"er. I want to start working on it,but I have to finish the jointer first.
