Thread: Mother of All Bandsaws

  1. #31
    I've lusted for a big saw but one would go through the floor of my shop. I saw this yellow beast at a small shipyard along the Fraser river a few years ago. It would do the trick.

    'go through the floor of my shop." this looks perfect then.

    Thanks for sharing the magic, from the angle of the first pictures it looked like it would have had to be rocked back but being a 30" it makes sense due to the fact they are usually right at 7ft. It is a gorgeous machine.
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    Ship saws are cool, I wonder if anyone has one in a hobby shop. I suppose it would make cutting dovetails on the BS easier...
