Description:

Side view of a band-resawing machine housed in a curved cast-iron frame. Two large, multi-spoked wheels are mounted at the upper and lower extremities, guiding a continuous band blade through the vertical cutting plane. A flat work table spans the frame at mid-height, while a mechanical feed assembly with vertical rollers extends to the right. The following details are provided by the catalog description:

The  accompanying  illustration  is  a  correct  representation  of  our  No.  4  Band  Saw  with power  feeding  mechanism,  intended  for  light  re-sawing,  such  as  panel  and  box  work,  also for  curve  sawing.  The  column  is  from  our  largest  pattern,  and  is  designed  to  take  on  saws to  two  inches  in  width.

The  wheels  are  both  of  cast  iron,  and  of  large  diameter;  their  surfaces  are  covered with  rubber  to  give  elasticity  under  the  contact  of  the  saw  blade.  The  upper  wheel  is arranged  to  raise  and  lower  for  variations  in  lengths  of  blades,  and  has  the  weighted  lever attachment  for  compensating  for  changes  in  lengths  from  various  causes. [...]

The  vertical  guide  bar  is  provided  with  the  retracting  spring  for  counterbalancing  its weight,  and  an  additional  arrangement  for  raising  the  guide  out  of  the  range  of  all  work that  will  pass  under  the  raising  hand  wheel.  The  patent  friction  roller  guides  arranged  to guide  from  the  teeth  can  be  applied  to  this  machine  when  desired.

The  feed  works  for  re-sawing  are  mounted  on  a  table,  and  consist  of  two  feed  rollers strongly  geared  and  provided  with  changes  of  feed.  There  is  also  a  graduated  friction face  plate,  which  is  controlled  by  a  lever,  the  guide  plate  is  adjustable  by  a  hand  wheel  for the  thickness  to  be  cut,  and  the  feeding  rollers  are  adjustable  to  and  from  the  guide  plate.
