24" /36" TANNEWITZ MODEL 3600 MH HIGH SPEED VERTICAL BAND SAW, Mfg 1966
The Tannewitz Works dates back to about 1909, and perhaps earlier. Their web site claims, "since 1892". It is quite possible that Crescent Machine Works was founded in 1892 by Edward E. Tannewitz, and was succeeded in about 1909 by Tannewitz Works, owned by Carl E. Tannewitz.
Though best known for their bandsaws, Tannewitz also made disk sanders and tablesaws; all their machines are industrial sized.
From 1983 to 1998, Tannewitz resold machines made by Copco, Inc., a company that rose from the ashes of the old C. O. Porter Machinery Co. See our entry for Copco for more information.
Now known as Tannewitz, Inc., they are in Jenison, MI. Tannewitz, Inc. manufactures and services bandsaws; there is no support available for other former Tannewitz products.
