Cool!

How well does it cut?

 

[Ecosta777]

Apparently it is a meat cutting saw. I can't dig up much more info on it than that.

Is it? I've seen Wellsaws in action for woodworking, but never butchering; maybe they made different blades.

It's not a meat saw. Except for in a horror movie.
Here's the patent drawing for it.

Looks like you can get a meat cutting blade for it tho.

Those were shown in adds with them cutting a house in half, roof, walls, floors everything but the concrete foundation. Were a lot better than anything else available in the 50's-60's when those came out. Great find if you can find any blades for it.

It is very nice on the drive housing and handle . Really like the general flow of lines and especially the cooling vents, that person should have been promoted! I would buy and display that. Pm me if you wanna sell it.

Wow...that really dates me! When I first started in the framing trade, right out of high school, THAT was the SAWZ-ALL of the day.

Just curious. Can someone tell me what this saw is worth as a collectable? It runs but I have not cleaned or used it.
Thank you,
Stinson

 

[tyandhope]

Any idea of its value before I use it to trim trees?
Thank you,
Stinson

It's a tool. Use it and have fun with it. It's not priceless.

 

[tyandhope]

I think it will be fun to use.

 

[ndnchf]

Polish it up bright, it'll look like a million bucks!

 

[TRWham]

All saws are meat cutting if you’re not careful.

 

[American Iron]

Nice old saw. You could butcher quite a lot with that..

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

That is one cool saw
Does anyone know if this saw would predate a circular saw?

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Except for in a horror movie.

Even if there is a butcher blade for it, I laughed!

Local game processing place has had one of those 20+ years at the back where you drop off game. Makes quick work of antlers, heads etc, then gets dropped unceremoniously on the floor next to the ancient box stapling machine. Everything in sight covered in blood, hair, fat, and bone dust.
