The Evolution of Modern Band Saw Mills for Sawing Logs
John Stuart Mill · en
The feed rollers are mounted upon an independent frame which can be
withdrawn when necessary for purposes of repair. This is adjustable
vertically by means of a hand lever with quadrant for setting the
machine to saw lumber into the required thicknesses.
The base and frame are heavy and substantial, and the machinery is
located above where it is accessible and out of the way of the dirt
which may accumulate. A very sensitive saw straining mechanism is
applied.
The pressure sprockets are supplied with power for such material as may
require it, and is omitted, however, when it appears unnecessary. The
feed can be increased, diminished or reversed.
The machine is located upon beams on the line of the overlays,
requiring no special substructure to support it.
Other sizes are supplied for special uses and further information will
gladly be given by correspondence.
