Shown is a substantial wood frame band saw stenciled on the frame PATD JAN 6TH 1868 BY C.D. SMITH BALDWINVILLE MASS. The wheels appeared to be at least 36 inches in diameter but I did not have a tape measure to confirm this. Note their rounded bicycle tire like profile. Also note the rigid "triangular" frame construction which supports the upper wheel and blade guide.

This machine among others are on display in a water powered grist mill in Weston Vermont. The collection includes a Vermont made wood lathe, a "Fay" foot operated mortising machine made in Keene NH, a Massachusetts patent wood frame band saw, a Lane shingle machine, an up and down saw mill, a mechanical reciprocating cordwood saw, a large collection of tinsmithing tools, early carding machinery, and two turbines made in Claremont NH. At this time all machinery is on static display. Work is underway to restore one of the turbines.
