We use to cut our limb wood on it for my grandmother's cook stove. And yes,I miss the sound of it too.

You can usually tell among the older fellows around here which ones spent a lot of time with a buzzsaw when they were young. The lucky/careful ones are only missing a finger.

Used this one for 10 years when I lived in Ontario in the 60's.

I used one for years cutting firewood for my sugarhouse before I switched to oil. Ran it off of the pto on my 14 hp  Power King tractor.

My neighbor uses a modified version on the end of his sawmill to cut slabs to firewood length as they come off the mill.

I have seen them mounted stationary but more often on the front or back of a tractor depending on the type of belt drive it had. You could buy one made for a Ford 9N that mounted on the three point hitch. I have even seen semi safer newer ones that actually had guards.

Dad would get a load of spruce or d-fir slabs from the local mill then have a neighbor come in to buck it up with one of those mounted on a 9-N. My job to pack and stack in the basement. OSHA would have a fit now. :D

If seen those buzz saws at New Haven Power... they are just a few miles down the road from me.  I've never seen one run, however.  It would be helpful if they'd put a video of it in operation up on their web site.

The one thing I just don't get about this is how you feed the log to the machine. My tractor would be tied up running the buzz saw.  Lifting logs by hand onto the cutting table would get old fast, not to mention having to slide them down for each cut.  With all the manual log handling, I just don't see the advantage of something like this over just using my chainsaw to buck logs (admittedly, that has it's drawbacks as well, but a firewood processor is just not justifiable for me).

They were prior to chainsaws. And yes, there was a lot of manhandling to move the wood to the saw and away from it.

I've got a 30"buzz saw which can be hooked up like that Dearborn as 3 point hitch or be staked down .I haven't used it in decades though .

That picture in the first post appears to be more of a flywheel than a belt pulley .Geeze I can't  imagine whirling that thing over by hand .

Al,
Thanks for the full-screen option.

Looking for something more along the lines of what beenthere did with his post.

Doesn't anybody wear gloves when they saw?????
My father once said, "This is my son who wanted to grow up and become a doctor.  So far, he's only become a doctor."

Not a good idea to wear gloves around those teeth that can get a bite of cloth or leather and quickly pull the entire hand into the spinning teeth. Not a pleasant site, as it happened around me once.
Better to just get some knicks if getting too close.

I just go to the YouTube video and copy the url, then paste in my post. Most of the times the Forum handles it just fine that way.

This is my Buzz saw. I use it to break down the slabs off the band mill. I picked up a conveyor section to set beside it.




Here is a post about it

DrB,

BeenThere's got it right. Here's how my hand looks after things healed up. I was wearing gloves using a table saw and got pulled in. It happens so quick you don't have a chance.

I've got most of the feeling and use in the injured fingers, but it's sure not the same.
