Description: |
| "This invention relates to that well-known class of sawing-machines which embody a circular saw, a pendulous bolt-carriage which is swung to and fro by the operator for carrying the bolt against the saw and back, and a gage which is arranged on one side of the bolt-carriage and against which the bolt is pressed by the operator before each cutting movement of the bolt-carriage for producing a uniform thickness of the cut slabs. The gage in these sawing-machines is adjustable toward and from the bolt-carriage for regulating the thickness of the cut. It is, however, often desirable to cut off a slab of greater thickness for the purpose of removing an imperfect portion of the bolt—for instance, a knot—and in other cases it is desirable to cut off slabs of less thickness than those for which the gage is set. The main object of this invention is to provide means for moving the gage quickly out of its normal position either from or toward the saw-carriage for taking a thicker or thinner cut than that for which the gage is set and returning the gage quickly to its normal position when such unusual cut has been taken. Another object of the invention is to provide simple means for regulating the distance through which the gage can be moved out of its normal position and the thickness of the unusual or emergency cut produced thereby." |
