Years ago in Atlanta, I knew a guy who had one of those in his woodshop. I don't recall the maker, but it was a scary thing to see in action, what with the blade zipping around out there in the wide open. But even my Delta 18" bandsaw still bothers me after 40 years. I've never been hurt by one (not even a cut putting on / taking off blades), but there's just something about that thin, sharp, slicey piece of toothed steel whizzing by that makes me extra attentive.

No doubt run by old "Two-finger" Thompson! Gotta love the open blade design!
