Vintage Machinery entry for J. A. Fay & Co.
|
|
Description: |
| This patent date was seen on a J. A. Fay & Co. 36-inch bandsaw; pictures of that bandsaw can be seen on the Vintage Machinery site.This patent covers several innovations:1. A blade-tensioning mechanism that uses a pivoted lever that is connected to the upper wheel on the short end and a weight on the longer end. This reduces the amount of weight required to properly tension the blade.2. A "wind chute" which directs the air flow caused by the bandsaw wheel away from the operator.3. A blade braking mechanism.4. Improved upper blade guide assembly.5. Improved table tilting assembly. |
