thought someone would enjoy looking at this one.

[Tom Lowry]

Can't imagine running stock that needs that much capacity. :eek:

[Brendan Plavis]

One of my my court ordered shrinks(divorce court is making me annoyed) was telling me that his friend had a giant one of those.... unfortunately the tires melted in a shop fire(he had a pile of stain rags in a heap...) But, those are the kind of boat building saws that every woodworker dreams of... but the wallet never permits...

Balde changes must be fun

[Brendan Plavis]

Balde changes must be fun

Yea.... I wonder what size blade it takes.... you must have to make them yourself or custom order..... I am thinking 400inches or so....

[John A. Callaway]

I think it will fit in the spare room upstairs in my townhouse ! :cool:

[Tom Lowry]

I thought the Do All saws cut and welded the blades from a spool of stock. I could be wrong though.

[Rick Markham]

Yeah that one has a blade cutter and welder on it, so it takes care of itself, you just supply the spool. Looks like fun to me. Only 21" of resaw though... might need a riser block for that :p

[Simon Dupay]

That's a toy compared to some of the Northfields, Olivers and Tanny's out there!

[Louie Ballis]

Do you think Carter makes a blade stablizer for that?

[Bruce Page]

That's a pretty common size bandsaw in large metal fabrication shops.

[Peter Quinn]

Holy bleep bleeping mother of all vertical bandsaws batman. You'ld have to apply for a second mortgage to finance a trimaster on that thing. Does a carbide blade work on a three wheeler?

[Brendan Plavis]

You think thats large..... There are some so large, that its literally driven by winches(well its sort of a bandsaw... except the band is more of a sharp *bleep* steel cable...) They are often used to cut entire freighters in half(salvage).

gotta love a diesel powered band saw!

Yeah, but can it pass the nickel test?

[Van Huskey]

But you know someone will point out that 3 wheel BS suck!

[Aaron Wingert]

I don't know what I'll use it for but I want one.

[george wilson]

Are you guys aware that the saw is for METAL ? 2nd. time someone has posted a metal cutting bandsaw.

That's a big band saw:eek:. http://www.tricolorsalvage.com/pages/photo_close.asp?f=02Cutting

[Chip Lindley]

DO-ALL makes BS's primarily for metal-cutting! I suppose the speed range would run up fast enough to cut wood! But, It's Humongous!!

I found just the opposite on the Wichita CL last winter. A Makita 2116, one of the two original RESAW bs's of the 80's. (along with Hitachi) The owner had tried to lower the speed for metal-cutting without success. He said the sparks really flew!! I picked it up for $450 and a nice 12-hour roundtrip. Save your $3800 for a real Resaw and keep the change for buying blades.

[Pete Bradley]

That one isn't for boat building, it's a metal saw only.

Now if you want a ship saw:

It's easy to underestimate from the picture just how huge a saw like this really is.

[Rick Markham]

Wow, check out the rotating carriage assembly on that! Now that's a bolt on accessory!

[Rick Markham]

It doesn't count as a resaw monster unless I can be resawn standing up (5'7") :eek: they also have a drum sander you could put me in sideways. I wish I could go visit this place... It would be a small dream come true. (I am not affiliated in any way with them) but I do admire their giant machinery from a far ;) I don't even want to know how much a blade for this beast costs. I'm sure it's a snap to change too... ugh http://www.hearnehardwoods.com/wood_facilities/wood_shop/millwork.html

I've seen those ship saws in small shipyards. Years ago,in the 70's (I think) I saw one in a small shipyard where they were building a replica of a 16th. or 17th.C. ship,a famous one,though I cannot recall the name of that ship now. I do not refer to the Susan Constant built here in Jamestown several years ago.

BTW,we made several 17th.C. English style 17th.C. handsaws to go aboard the Jamestown's replica. Talk about UGLY !!! Also,a 17th.C. Dutch style saw with an "S" shaped crosswise handle. It was fairly comfortable to saw with,though I'll stay with at least 18th.C.,or 19th.C. models. The state of development of tools in England in very early times wasn't great. Terrible stuff on the Mary Rose.

[Rick Potter]

Gotcha. There were at least three such makers during the 80's. My dad bought a Ryobi resaw for about $1800. It has a 2" stellite blade, and strangely only resaws about 6". Loud too...as it uses a universal motor that looks like it belongs on a Skillsaw, but it does cut. I still have it, but never use it.

Let's see someone fold that blade up 10 or 12 times and then unfold it. You might need a bank lone when you buy a new blade.

[jason lambert]

or a good insurance policy when that blade springs open.

[Curt Harms]

Is that the Ships's Saw at Mystic Seaport? I don't recall if that one was set into the ground or not. I do remember the powered serrated rollers to help feed timbers. Looked like a cool idea for the time.

[scott vroom]

Try this one on for size....

[Pete Bradley]

That's a photo from OWWM of a 36" machine at the Fulton shipyard in California. Mystic has a similar Fay and Egan, but I believe theirs is bigger. The powered tilt mechanisms are massive, I believe the whole machine runs in the neighborhood of 10,000 lbs.
