    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.

    Do not operate heavy equipment, unless you actually know how to.

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

    Note convenient item selected to portray scale.
    BTW, the base to the left was bolted to floor, everything below that plane swung in a excavated concrete pit, including vacuum to dust collection top side.
    Pattern makers shop, Long Beach Naval Ship Yard. That's what it takes for patterns and cores of large parts; pump bodies, cutless bearings, dock bollards, items not easily fabricated.

    Bet they could use a frosty bock beer from Buffalo's own International Brewing Co. right about now! Well, after the pour is done.
