Bandsaw wheels

By Hoki Frank that blue 'un is a beauty!

Yes and unfortunately that picture and my drawings of it is all I still have of it.
I built it to primarily saw composite panels with up to 40 CM thick. it is a hydraulically fed roll in saw which can tilt up to 45° to either side roll in through up to a 1.5 meter wide panel or the blade guides could be rotated so the panels could be cut lengthwise Also it he frame could be raised and locked imposition for up to 45° for cutting the edges of the length of the panels. 2 speed 5 hp 415v 50 hz motor and 3 speeds belt drive slow enough to cut 10" thick steel in the lowest speed and fast enough in the top speed to rip through the metal clad foam panels as fast as you could feed them through.
it was fully mobile just rotate the axle down lock in place extend the tongue on the opposite end and trailer it to the job sites We generally ran a 10-14 tooth blade on it which we bought by the roll because it was something like 24 feet long 1" wide
