    There won't be any tight curves cut with that blade.....Just my personal opinion.

    Impressive, Eric. Impressive indeed. And like Frankie says, how about a shot of the "feeder".

    The "feeder" probably has hydraulics.

    So, is the spot marked with a Sharpie the beginning of a broken blade?

    Yikes! Those large saws are awesome. Here's one from a pit saw at Sierra Milling.

    That's nothin!! Bet I can get the blade to track on my 14" Jet if I leave the covers off.

    Well I would have to extend the riser block a little bit.

    I have been nicked by my saw before but that blade takes off a few fingers per tooth. Ouch!!!

    I would not have thought Texas has wood big enough to justify that size saw. I am surprised the blade is single sided.

    It is actually a mechanical transmission off the main drive shaft...

    Yes! I actually did not notice that until earlier. I am told the blades we have for the McDonough are at least 20 years old. There is a special crate we put them in, to ship out for re-sharpening when needed.

    Yeah, you aren't folding that into a coil.

    We have some 12" X 12" x 40' salvaged LL beams in the shop. Could be over 100 years old.

    Nice to see Paul Banyon's little bandsaw is still in use. Did you that his handsaw has been preserved too? - http://roamingthegooglestreets.blogs...-wood-saw.html
