Tuffsaws got my order wrong. (JOKE)

I'd like to see them fold it.

Folding it's dead easy. Just look at Steve Maskery's band saw DVD - you put the bottom end on the carpet, stand on it with one foot, hold each side in each hand, then just fold yet arms!

P.S. I STILL can't do that first go!!!!!!!!!

It's unfolding it when it first arrives that's hard - again according to Steve, you just take the roll out into the garden, then chuck it away from you onto the lawn, and open it springs, automatically.

Seriously, I wonder what machine that's going on, AND what the guides look like?

AND what the guides look like?

A couple of lorry wheels?

 

[AES]

3 lorry wheels please - "one each side of the blade, set away from the blade by a thickness of ordinary writing paper each side, and one behind the blade at 90 degrees, set so the gullets are in front of the 2 side lorry wheels "

P.S. Lorry wheels with or without tyres? And come to that, I wonder what the driving wheel on the band saw looks like?



Seriously, have you got a pic of the saw that blade comes from ww?

 

[OscarG]

Holy moly, that real?

How would you tension that *******!

 

[Sideways]

With a hydraulic ram

 

[flying haggis]

who else, when near a large running bandsaw feels nervous because of the speed of the blade

You know you've got a good blade when there are teeth front and back too! More than likely it's for one of those old pit resaws like a Stenner (Anyone who's been to Yandles has probably seen theirs).

I still find uncoiling 16ft x 2 1/2" Wadkin PBR blades unnerving as hell even with someone helping.

Well, I was thinking of making a tank for the Mad Max party next year....!!

That's a whopper !! I wonder whether it's worth adding "joke" in the title so some glancing over the threads will realise you were pulling our legs

No picture of the saw itself. I just found that one when browsing.

Managed to find the full article on the sawmill which the photo comes from: Hull Oakes Timber.

Pretty big machine.

 

[Eric The Viking]

If you blow up the original pic (of the band itself), there's a sign on the back wall that simply says "Be careful".

Brilliant .

Nice video about the sawmill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idDUEYIyijQ

Naaaa. I wouldn't want one of those. It would be too noisy in the back garden. Quite impressive though and that blade is a bit bigger than my 1/4" 6 skip! :shock:

I was on honeymoon in Oregon earlier this year, passed within a few miles of that place! The logging industry out there is incredible, the scale of it is ridiculous.

 

[Jonzjob]

TF, would you describe it as tree-mendous :twisted:
