Buzzsaw Accessory??
« on: October 11, 2024, 06:53:02 pm »
 ???

Charlie lent me this and I am just taking it out to play with. I’m not sure who makes it or what year it’s from but it looks old. It’s QUITE dangerous, the saw is actually extremely sharp. It also moves insanely quick due to pulley ratios.

Kinda fun to mess with on my new Lineshaft.

Yes!!  The S50 on this boiler has tons of power. I was running it at about 20% throttle, and the gas turned down.

I can’t believe how much steam a little J75 boiler can produce when pushed to its max.

Yes, the Lineshaft opens up doors to many possibilities.
