Mill, Greatest Length and Diameter of Logs, and Whether Hard or Soft Wood. 



*' Capacity: The upper guide win raise to take between it and the carriage 32 in., and the distance 



from the blade to the column is 17 in.; thus cutting through thecenter.logs up to about 32 in. in 

 diameter, or, with suitable head-blocks, reduce into lumber logs as large as 40 in. in diameter. 



This is the smallest modern Band Saw Mill built. It has all of the recent improvements 

 and advantages of the largest mills, being limited only in capacity. It is designed to meet the 

 demands of the mill operators who have found it essential to get more good lumber out of their 

 logs than can be accomplished in any other manner. 



Every practical improvement that experience has suggested in the years that Band Mills 

 have been in universal use in this country will be found embodied in our New Improved No. 9 

 Band Mill. 



it is designed to meet the requirements of those who wish a mill of medium capacity, in 

 cutting small and medium sizes of logs into lumber, it will be found much superior to the 

 large mills and an extraordinary saving over circular mills. It has the latest advantages and 

 conveniences; cost is less; occupies less space; requires less power; wastes less in sawdust, and 

 is easier to operate than larger Band Mills. The amount removed in sawdust at each cut being 

 but about I -16 in , it has very rapidly replaced the circular mills. 



All machines are labor-saving to a greater or lesser degree, but it cannot be said that all 

 are saving as regards the mateyial luorked. Formerly it was the aim of the inventors to save 

 time and labor without considering the waste of material; but of late years, as machines for 

 working wood have neared that perfection which was the aim, inventors have been 

 paying more attention to the construction of machines that would save material d^s well as time 

 and labor. Band Saw Mills are perhaps the most successful of all machines built to attain this 

 ley were at first received with some misgivings as to efficiency, utility and durability, they have now become 



The superiority of the band over the circular is unquestione<i; the work is accomplished in a superior manner, the surface of the 

 20 per cent or over; a saving which in itself is a very fair profit, and will soon pay for the machine and then make capital out of 



ar branch. Our products in this line have met with a hearty welcome, and are giving universal satisfaction. We have cur 



Id from behind. The former arrangement is generally preferred, as it is more convenient for the operator to direct the adjusting of the log.
