About a eight or ten inch tall one will work, dont know how a long one will work, it might. the reason i mentioned  about the kick back as i have been right next to a guy that got killed . when a flitch rode up and came right back into his chest. killing him, and another guy got crippled the same way.   so that said , a riving knife or splitter and anti kickback hold downs would be a good idea. just dont want my new friends getting hurt.

I have contemplated something similar to this but using a large bandsaw instead. I missed an opportunity on a 36" industrial bandsaw a couple weeks ago. He wanted $130 for it.

Safety will be addressed on this machine... I'm to old to get hurt...
And I really appreciate any and all ideas or suggestions.

Today I worked all day on the slide table. Looks like it will take at least another day of work just on that.
First picture the table is in... second picture it out. Third picture is the liner bearings.
Top of the table is not built yet.

Can anyone one tell me what this blade was used for or whats it's good for.
I'm hoping I can use it. It looks like it has negative angle or rake.

Looks like this might be a great blade for this spot.
I found this from google...

negative tooth angle to help prevent saws from self-feeding.

I had one similar that my sharpener guy changed somewhat the last time he ground it.  I'm betting it was just for buzzing firewood too. I'd say it's for crosscut.

My best guess is those teeth originally looked like this. I can't imagine a saw filed like that cutting, just gnawing wood.

Good rendition of what the teeth may have started out like when saw was new.

OP, please be extra careful. Saws like that scare the livin hell out of me due to that is how one of my grandpaws got killed. Piece of the blade broke off, hitting him in the head.

Kbeitz

Well I'll let you all know how it works out. I'm going to give the blade a try.
I'm pretty good at sharpening things so if it work half way I think I can make it work...
I looks like it will be a few weeks before I get this thing done.
I got lots of work to do on it yet.

Every trim saw we had was this type of solid tooth saw. We had 25 - 30 of them. I could do a decent job of sharpening them. We had a saw filer that could make razor from those tips. I learned from him. He had Coke bottle bottom glasses, he filed by feel.

I bought a brand new Foley-Belsaw Sharp-All, still in the case, 15 miles away from Craigslist last year for a fraction of the new price.  Durn it, I need to get that shop building up.  I've run out of room to store stuff.

I picked up this Honda at the junkyard yesterday.
Started second pull. The only thing I found wrong with it was a oil soaked air cleaner.
Runs great. So for now it's going to be my power plant.

I love this old Lincoln Weldenpower welder.
It's helping me out today because this saw is way to far from the shop to use my normal welder.
It's an oldie but goodie.

 my father had something similar years ago for edging or splinting but it was set up with a track and a light table that the boards set on, if i remember right it had peg holes for each inch so to keep boards square. I know it would take a 8 ft 6x6 and cut it into boards, that is the only thing i ever see it used for, almost like a bolter but longer table.
For cutting  off we had wooden framed swing saws, and almost think that would be better, but i know the safety police will say that is a no no but a lot of guys used them there whole life and never got hurt on them!  I thought about setting up a swing saw using a  big miter saw blade which would give you 5 inch deep cut.
There was also a big cast iron table saw, 4ft by 8ft with a 18inch blade or so that was used to split boards into clapboards, no i never remember any guards or hold downs but am sure that could have used some, that table saw had i think 5 hp tecumseh engine on it, but was geared up or down with flat belts.
I think you need to be thinking about blade speeds now.

The one big main reason I'm building this is to cut 45 angles from 8x8's

I don't see that potential built into your design, but am sure you have it in your head. ;)

Most of the 45's will be on short 2 foot longs.

The Amish seen it and I sold it for more than I thought it was worth.
I thought I could buy a real one for what I got out of it.

I hadn't looked at any of the dates on this post. I was just thinking in my head how in the world has he done all this and the lathe in the last couple weeks!

He probably completed four or five projects during the last couple weeks while he was working on the lathe.   ;D  Kb can start and finish a major fabrication while I'm trying to find my glasses.   ::)
