Out in my neck of the woods a S & W 125 , a1997 model with 500 hrs listed for 30K six months ago and is down to 20K now. Has anyone owned, operated, or seen these mills saw? I have seen a video of them sawing . For a stationany mill seemed to function OK. There clamping and squaring system is designed different.
No, I am not going to buy it.
Not long ago, I had that answer and it has gotten away from me. S&W was a bandmill Manufacturer in Alabama I think that made 3 or 4 different sizes of "heavy" bandmills with larger engines when the industry standard was 25 horse and smaller. They disappeared a while ago and last year I got some advertising from an organization that apparently bought the company and was reorganizing it . The only thing I remember about them was the advertising touting the heft of the mill and that it was "Production Oriented." For the life of me I can't remember the name of the outfit that bought them. I'll keep looking.
