PAPERS NOT READ 



The following papers on "Band Sawing" by E. C. Mershon of 

 W. B. Mershon & Co., Saginaw, Mich., and that prepared by J. B. 

 Baker, president of the Southern Logging Superintendents' Asso- 

 ciation, Hodge, La., were not read at the convention. Both Mr. 

 Mershon and Mr. Baker were unavoidably detained from being 

 present and the papers are therefore herewith reproduced in full: 



Band Sawing 



Gentlemen of the Hardwood Manufacturers' Association : I wish to 

 thank you for this opportunity of speaking on a subject which has been 

 a hobby with me for the past twenty-five years. Even previous to this 

 date, the question of band-resawing has been seriously considered by my 

 brother and myself. As long back from 1876 to 18SS we were wrestling 

 with circular resaws of various types, including a 44-inch Evart shingle 

 machine on which we resawed material for powder boxes, oil boxes, etc. : 

 and later with taper ground solid circular saws and segment saws. By 

 actual personal experience in filing saws and operating machines we dis- 

 covered, I think, all of the deviltries and innate cussedncss of this class 

 of machinery. We were told, however, that the diflaculties encountered 

 were nothing as compared with those that we would find, should we 

 tackle the band resaw. 



But it is said that "Necessity is the mother of invention," and along 

 in 1888 Wm. B. Mershon & Co. received an order for oil boxes for export 

 to Italy, the sides, bottoms and tops of which were '/i inch thick. As 

 this material had to be secured three pieces from stock 1 inch in thick- 

 ness, and as this thickness had to be absolutely uniform to fulfill the 

 specifications, which stated that this %-inch material was to be surfaced 

 after resawing, so it seemed necessary for us to tackle the band. We 

 did so. with the result that we were able to resaw the material after It 

 was planed with such accuracy that our customers never knew the dlffei- 

 ence. You see, to have attempted to plane to a thickness of % Inch 

 knotty box material after it had been resawn would have resulted In 

 picking every knot out and splitting and tearing every cross-grained 

 piece, the result l>cing a waste of over fifty per cent and the spilt mate- 

 rial resulting in a lot of narrow stock which we could not have used for 

 any purpose. You can Imagine our surprise and relief when we found 

 that we could do this kind of work so accurately ; and also that the 

 machines could be made to resaw the shortest material with safety.
