If the second pix is a PTO attachement, then I want one too!!!!
With something like that, who needs a dinky 10" table saw from Home depot.

Some how I don't think either saw meets OSHA requirements.
Thanks for taking the time to post these.

Think about the weight of that table saw. It can withstand the pull of the belt without moving.

Many thanks for the pictures.
Keep them coming!

The saw in the second picture was quite a sight.
The saws are one of my favourite things to watch.
First off, the gril driving the engine running the saw couldnt have been much over 12 year old. Second, thats one mean blade, and its going mighty fast. The guys were stepping through the drive belt while it was moving, and reaching across the blade.
They used wedges to move the logs (2-3' dia) into the right place.
When the blade found a knot in the wood the belt would be stretched tight on the input side transmitting the power, and the slack side would drag along the ground, absolutely no slip atall.
BTW, everything is done with steam, lifting the logs, powering the equip, everything.

I was looking, but I couldn't find the OSHA booth. Did I miss it?
In the past, there were certainly a lot of severed limbs and limbs torn out with the exposed blades and belts. We don't need more Government regulation, but OSHA has probably save a lot of lives.
Anyway, great pictures of interesting OLD equipment.
