Vintage Grob NS-24 24" Industrial Vertical Bandsaw

Classic Heavy-Duty Series (S/N 3483) | 10-Speed Gearbox | Integrated Welder

"The Gold Standard of Mid-Century American Machine Tools"

Available for acquisition is a Grob NS-24 vertical bandsaw from the highly respected 1960s/70s era. Known among machinists for its "overbuilt" cast-iron construction and simple, reliable mechanicals, this saw is a testament to an era when industrial tools were built to last a lifetime.

With a massive 24-inch throat, this machine provides the capacity for large plate work that modern light-duty saws simply cannot match. This specific unit (S/N 3483) features the robust 10-speed mechanical transmission, providing the low-end torque necessary for heavy tool steel cutting and the high-end speed for non-ferrous materials.
