"I like old tools and found the plaque on this 40yr old 8ft tall bandsaw rather humorous."

The plaque says the machine was received at 9AM on August 25, 1977, and drew its first blood from Dave Matzek an hour and 45 minutes later.

@mwichary My first thought was something about another American tool company that doesn't exist because the suits sent manufacturing to China. But it appears I may be wrong - Northfield is still making band saws and they look just like this one.

@mwichary Dave probably didn't find it as funny.

@jhooper Dave might have made that plaque.
