C A N ADA LUMBERMAN â il l:. â " â ^: â ' ;l ' . .' : .M Ml: H 1 â A Super Re-Saw For years we have recognized the faults of the horizontal re- saw, such as the excessive space taken up in the millâthe necessity of raising or lowering the hed, or the saw blade itself in order to change the thickness of cutâthe difficulty of separating the slab from the lumber at the rear of the machine, and the advisability of having every slab inspected by the sawyer before being passed through the machine. But until recently we have never been able to perfect a vertical re-saw which would meet in every way the high standard of excellence which every machine bearing the name of WATEROUS must possess. We are at last, however, able to offer to the Sawmill Men of Canada, a machine that not only overcomes the above faults, but one which combines all the advantages of the horizontal and vertical re-saws. Here is a machine which will positivelv cut straight slabs and half logs regardless of irregular i.**/s in mat- erial. The bed consists of four fluted rolls whii h .â adjust- able and which take the place of the planed ta'l There are two press rolls. The first swings on i» vertical shaft in a frame which presses firmly against the feed rolls, bent to the saw in a stream actuated saw tooth roll. These two rolls are so arranged as to automatically take care of all variations in the size and shape of the slabs. The swinging arm roller mounts any slabs immediately and the pressure of the oscil- lating cylinder aligns the slabs against the first two feed rolls, swinging the tail of the slab immediately in the line of the saw cut, this taking place be- fore the saw enters the cut. This arrangement prevents the usual thick or thin or scooped ends that are so common in all re-saws carrying the single press rolls and feed rolls.
