Take a look at my big Johnson

Band saw that is. I got this from a friend who is downsizing his shop, just in time for my upsizing of my shop.

Sorry, pic is in the next post.

Your Johnson is looking a little green. Never a good thing.

Your Johnson needs some serious buffing and polishing.

If I bend it it will cut at a 45°

It's a BFS for sure.

Cool. That is an impressive Johnson. Is it a nice to have tool or do you have a "special purpose" for it?

Had one like that back in the mid 70's at the machine shop I worked at while still in high school. Pretty impressive work that thing would do. There was a coolant pump but I can't remember if it pumped water based or cutting oil.

We made rectangular valve bodies that started out as a cast iron bar that looked like a half again as fat 2x4. It made quick work of cutting the blanks out. I mean a couple minutes, but way better than a hack saw.

More important, what did your wife say about showing pictures of your Johnson on the internet!

Smart azz. 3 phase? 480v? Looks industrial to me and those machines don't run on 120v.

I am disappointed...the Thread title is misleading. I was hoping to see an epic sized Johnson and not some kind of pipsqueak Johnson...that is not going to satisfy.

240V 3 phase

It has an oil tank and recirc pump.

My shop has gotten into more larger diameter piping jobs and fabrication of pipe supports so this was literally a gift.

My wife is very proud of my Johnson and is happy to show it off on the interwebs.
