cafoose 3,355 #1 Posted July 18, 2021 Look what I picked up yesterday at an auction for the grand total of $12.00 The angle grinder is a beast and it only needed the metal trigger bent out a little, it was stuck in "on" position. The band saws both need new cords 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cafoose 3,355 #5 Posted July 19, 2021 Here's the results, I tried a new cord on one of the band saws and it didn't work. I tested the switch with an ohmmeter and it was bad. I tested the other switch and it was good. I tried the good switch on both saws and they worked. I replaced the cord on one saw with the good switch and now I have one working saw and one that needs a cord and a switch. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
