This dude is gonna make reducing split staves sooooo much easier. This saw sat in the warehouse where I work for about 6 years collecting dust. A woodturning friend sweet talked our boss out of it and it sat in his garage for another 6 without moving. He said he didn’t have time to fool with it and gave it to me with the agreement that if he had to rough out any logs to bowl blanks he could anytime. Some elbow grease, half a can of kroil, and a cheap 3tpi blade later and she’s cutting. I won’t say what I used for band tires. Rip cuts through hackberry like it isn’t even there. There is a piece that I need to get for it. Don’t know what it’s called, but it is a round piece that sits in the table where the blade passes through.
