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.
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.
