Vintage Machinery entry for J. A. Fay & Co.
Description:
This patent date was seen on a J. A. Fay & Co. 36-inch bandsaw; pictures of that bandsaw can be seen on the Vintage Machinery site.

This patent covers several innovations:

1. A blade-tensioning mechanism that uses a pivoted lever that is connected to the upper wheel on the short end and a weight on the longer end. This reduces the amount of weight required to properly tension the blade.

2. A "wind chute" which directs the air flow caused by the bandsaw wheel away from the operator.

3. A blade braking mechanism.

4. Improved upper blade guide assembly.

5. Improved table tilting assembly.
