Wilton 3130 5x8" Horizontal Band Saw
Overview
Horizontal band saw bought off craigslist. It is a Wilton which is "Made in USA", but the exact model number wasn't indicated on it. It seems it was a "Wilton 3130" judging from old user's catalogs.

NOTE: these cutting capacity specifications were taken from the manual for the modern version of the 3130, I am still looking for a manual for the older serial number ones.

Blades
The saw takes blades that are 68" long and 1/2" wide. The later models of Wilton 3130's that are now made in China use 68-1/2" (68.5") long blades, and I'm sure they are compatible.
