We illustrate herewith a machine for sawing up stock into lengths, it being adapted for sawing any kind of metal that can be filed and for holding any shape. It is in reality a power driven hack saw, the advantages of it being that it does its work after being set and started, without further attention. Saws are not so often broken, there is very little waste of stock, and square, smooth cuts are made. Lengths of saw blade are used 25 feet long, that part not in use being coiled up at the back and drawn forward to the frame and clamped as needed, that that has been dulled by use being broken off and thrown away. The stroke is 7" and stock up to 5" square can be cut. The machine is made by Henry G. Thompson & Son, Elm and State Streets, New Haven, Conn. |
