EMERY’S PATENT 
OSCILLATING POWER CROSS CUT SAW 
For Cu-tting Logs for Wood, Shingles, Staves and Lumlier. 
T HE process of cutting up logs for lumbering purpo' 
ses and for firewood, as generally performed, is labo¬ 
rious and expensive. Two men, laboring faithfully all 
day long, with the two-handled crosscut saw, will accom¬ 
plish comparatively but a small amount of work, while 
the still slower and more tedious axe makes the 
“ Dim aisles of the old woods ring,” 
to the accumulating blows, as chip after chip is removed, 
while scarcely any effect is perceived. 
Many attempts, more or less successful, have been made 
to economize in the expense and to increase the rapidity 
of this most important operation. 
It is believed the machine represented in the above cut, 
embraces all the improvements hitherto discovered in such 
machinery, which are many and important. In construct¬ 
ing this machine, the manufacturers have kept in mind the 
fact that many a man who might be benelitted by using ma¬ 
chinery in his various occupations, hesitates to do so on ac¬ 
count of what seems to him of the large amount of means 
required to be advanced to secure such machines, and in 
view of the indifferent success which has been met with by 
others, perhaps of his acquaintances, preferring to pay a 
much larger aggregate sum in daily instalments as wages, 
and be sure of at least a tangible result, rather than to pay 
even a lesser amount, and run the risk of disappointment 
and trouble. The Manufacturers believe that if machin¬ 
ery is used, it must be of the best description, and must 
perform the greatest possible amount of work for the 
POWER AND HELP EMPLOYED. 
This machine is complete in itself, except the power for 
operating it. It is designed to be used with Emery’s Pa¬ 
tent Endless Chain Horse-Power, but any other adequate 
power may be used, if adapted to the proper speed and 
direction of revolution. 
The teeth of the saw are made so as to cut equally both 
ways, and the connections are so made that along or short 
sweep of the saw may be made at pleasure. The saw has a 
peculiar motion, which is one of the greatest of its improve¬ 
ments. In running forwards the heel of the saw is 
lifted, while in dragging backward the heel is depres¬ 
sed. This motion causes the saw continually to cut out¬ 
wards through the bark, carrying out (instead of in.) 
any dirt or grit contained in the bark. This obviates the 
necessity of chipping dff the bark to prevent the dulling 
of the saw. It also causes a sure and regular discharge of 
the sawdust as fast as it is made, no matter if the diame¬ 
ter of the log is equal to twice the length of stroke of the 
saw. 
The logs are rolled upon ways, having at one end near 
the saw a spiked roller, and are traversed by a strong four 
wheeled truck. One end of the log rides on this truck, 
while the other end rests upon the spiked roller ; this roller 
having a mort iced head, may be easily t urned by one man, 
and thereby the log advanced for each successive cut. 
The sawing is done with great rapidity, often cutting off 
a log of 24 inches diameter in one minute. From 20 to 35 
eord cuts nmy be made per day, depending upon the skill 
and dexterity of the operators. For further particulars 
address the manufacturers.
