Improvement in band sawing-machines
|
Paul Pryibil |
New York, NY |
This saw has the frame inclined from vertical by 30 to 60 degrees. The incline is such that the horizontal component of the saw-teeth's movement is opposite to the feed direction of the work; the result is that the saw cuts more like a circular saw than a bandsaw. "The cutting-edge operates first upon the lower portion of the work, the face of each tooth strikes the ends of the fibers in such a manner as to break most of the wood off in small chips or slides instead of cutting it all into dust..." |
