  • Vertical band saw with cantilever frame
    Patent number: 4658689
    Abstract: A vertical band saw is supported forward from a rolling carriage in a cantilever fashion by a pivot which allows inclined as well as vertical cuts to be made in a workpiece. The carriage is supported on V-rollers with vertical axes which travel along rails affixed to a base. The cantilevered saw frame has a drive motor mounted to and solely supported by its lower end, which therefore swings in unison with the saw frame when the cut angle is changed.
