QUICK OPENING LOWER GUIDE
These Guides are applied to all Log Band Saw Mills built by The Prescott Company. When slivers, bark or sawdust wedge in the Guide and cause trouble and heat the saw, then the Guide is promptly opened by the off-bearer and the stuff falls through.
When changing saws the Guide can be promptly opened.
VERTICAL BAND RESAW

The Prescott Vertical Band Resaw
This machine is built in three sizes, viz.:
| With wheels | 7 feet in diameter for | 10-inch saws. |
| ”” | 8”” ” ” | 12” ” |
| ”” | 9”” ” ” | 12” ” |
It is distinctly a machine for resawing plank, cants or timber up to 16 inches in thickness. The mill proper is provided with a surrounding base and is constructed upon the same principles as are all Prescott Log Band Mills. The feed works being driven by the machine itself makes the whole self-contained. The outside pressure rolls, are adjusted by power; and the inside rolls are operated by hand levers and notched quadrants, and regulate all thicknesses of lumber to 1-32 of an inch. And all of these rolls are power driven. All gearing is steel, the upper guide is power operated, and the mill itself is made self-centering when desired, although this feature is not specially necessary in this machine.
