Circular Rip Saw
This
machine rips boards or planks of either hard or soft wood, of any
thickness up to 3 3/4 inches and of any width up to 19 inches. It is
especially adapted to shops without steam or water power, and will, as
nearly as poss ible,
take the place of a steam rip saw in quantity and quality of work. It
requires little space and is built mostly of iron and steel.
The
lumber is placed between two feed rollers, which feed it to the saw. The
feed can be made slow or fast, as the operator may desire, by the cone
pulleys on feed rolls. These rollers are self-adjusting to thick, thin, or
uneven lumber. The saw can be instantly set to or from the auge to any
width desired.
With this
machine, one man can do the work of three using the old hand saw.
Unskilled operators can do the work rapidly and truly. Unlike the hand
saw, the work is as true and square as that done by steam or water power
saws, and is as easily dressed with the plane. An operator with ordinary
strength and endurance can easily rip (line measure) 600 feet of one inch
pine per hour or 6000 feet in ten hours. By changing the feed to
correspond with thickness or hardness of the lumber, hickory, maple, ash,
oak, walnut or cherry can be sawed with ease, the speed varying from 150
to 600 feet per hour. These are not rates given that a man can only follow
for a few minutes, but actual day work rates that a man can follow from
day to day. Taking into consideration the greater amount that can be sawed
and the smoothness and trueness of the work, a saving of from 3 to 8
dollars per day can be made above the hand saw with this machine.
