The engraving shows a new hand power band saw made by Frank & Co., of
Buffalo, N. Y., and designed to be used in shops where there is no power
and where a larger machine would be useless. It is calculated to meet
the wants of a large class of mechanics, including carpenters and
builders, cabinet makers, and wagon makers. It is capable of sawing
stuff six inches thick, and has a clear space of thirty inches between
the saw and the frame. The upper wheel is adjusted by a screw pressing
against a rubber spring which compensates for the expansion and
contraction of the saw.
The machine has a very complete device for raising, lowering, and
adjusting the wheel, and all of the parts are made with a view to
obtaining the best results in the simplest and most desirable way.
The machine is six feet wide and five feet high, and weighs 380 lb. The
wheels are covered with pure rubber bands well cemented.
