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.

Sweet! All 90 degree cuts or can it miter?

Your Johnson needs some serious buffing and polishing.

NY65912 08-10-2018 06:28 AM
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.

Everybody wins!

What year was that built? I've never heard of Johnson HBS's.

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.:(

NY65912 08-10-2018 09:42 AM
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. ;)
