No finer machine exists for resawing lumber and timber coming from a log Band Mill or a Circular.
It is not adapted for resawing slabs.
HORIZONTAL BAND RESAW
Built by The Prescott Company, Menominee, Mich.
Standard Prescott Horizontal Band Resaw Mill
For Resawing Slabs and Planks
The machine shown upon the [opposite page] has wheels 6 feet in diameter, and admits upon the feed rollers a slab nearly 30 inches wide and about 12 inches high, so that half logs of considerable size may be sawed as well as slabs.
Numerous feed rollers are employed instead of the endless platen or apron, thus insuring efficiency and durability.
The feed rollers are mounted upon an independent frame which can be withdrawn when necessary for purposes of repair. This is adjustable vertically by means of a hand lever with quadrant for setting the machine to saw lumber into the required thicknesses.
The base and frame are heavy and substantial, and the machinery is located above where it is accessible and out of the way of the dirt which may accumulate. A very sensitive saw straining mechanism is applied.
