It was goito be scrapped and i couldnt let them do it also any manuals by any chance? Im an antique tractor and truck mechanic and ive been wanting one of these for a while now. I have some pictures but they wont load on here they say they are too large?

Are you sure it’s not a vertical bandsaw, never seen a 36” DoAll Metal Master horizontal bandsaw?

If you do a search on the forum about picture posting you will find the answers!

Post the serial number or model number on the tag and we can help at least identify what you have?

Here’s a couple links to some manuals!

Agree, would like to see photos.

Do-All does, and have made horizontal saws. We have one where I work and, from what I can tell, is probably from the 1980's or thereabouts. God-awful machine to run, a real P.O.S., with horrible balance of the saw arm, cheap sheet steel abounding, and noisier than about any saw I have ever ran.

You will have to resize them. I can't recall the size limit for posting, but the average cell phone photo is around 3MB. I am thinking the limit per photo is less than 1MB.

It looks like a vertical band saw to me .
There are a few pages about them here most of them look like some model of DoAll to me but perhaps a little different than yours.

The top tag is an inventory tag for a previous company. The bottom tag is the serial number. The first two numbers indicate the year of manufacture (36).

 

[Salem Straub]

The first two numbers are the saw size... 36". The second two are the year, (19)41. The remaining numbers I believe reflect that it's the 845th saw built that year.
Nice machine. I just got a 36" metalmaster from 1942!

When did they change that? Because I have a ML 16 and the tag on it starts with 43.

 

[Salem Straub]

Not sure… but perhaps the ML has a different serial number protocol than the earlier Metalmasters?
I’ve definitely seen newer/other vertical DoAlls described as having the serial number format your saw has.

 

[ncjeeper]

Okay thanks. My buddy has a DoAll also and his serial number starts with 51 and it is newer.
