Many are quick to make a distiction between General Canada and the General International product lines. Some may question the wisdom of buying off-shore equipment from a.Canadian company, but I have been satisfied with the value that General adds to their international product, and it is great bang for a buck. The machines are made to General specs and they stand behind them.
“I recently purchased a General Band Saw, Model 490-1 other wise called a 15”. The base model came with factory guides and a hp motor. “The upper frame is a massive box type one piece of cast steel, it is well ribbed and weighs a ton. I need to get help to lift it on to the base during assembly. It has two stamped hinged doors with a 2” dust port located below the front door.
