That guy sure knows his saws. I don;t know how well he would do on a 10 Hp Dual column production saw but I'd be willing to bet he could adjust one
The Blacksmith-shop I apprenticed at did not have a band saw, So my first experience with one was in 72 when I came home on Christmas leave. To have something to do I worked a few weeks for a mobile home frame manufacturer. The owner was a WWII vet so he had a kinship for active duty personnel who were on leave, He told me that the only position he could place me in on a temporary basis was the band-saw. It was an old Behemoth capable of gnawing its way through an entire bundle of 10 to 14 inch Junior I beam at a time. He told me that the saw was weeks behind in cuts because the regular guy was out with an injury, and any amount of cuts I could give them would be more than they were getting.
He showed me how to turn it on and how to set it for angle cuts when the list called for them.
Armed with a long cut list I started to get my feet wet After a somewhat rocky start I got the hang of it by the time my leave was about to end I had them well stocked . Just like TM51 there comes a time when cutting chunks are far better than making chips
When a little 10 x 10 1 hp saw can out cut a 7.5 HP lathe you have to give them the respect they deserve,
