There is a video of its operation at the bottom. Check it out!

What does this have to do with cutting metal?

This is the machine and TOOL TALK forum.

I suggested he post that here. I think it's pretty cool.......

Wood working should be a seperate forum. Tool talk to me is Machine tool related. Micrometers, knurling tools, measuring tools, cutting tools (milling machine, drill press or metal lathe), Reamers, end mills and such.

My thoughts!

What if it were used to make patterns for casting?

If you used it to make a pattern then you would be talking about the pattern and how to make it, not the saw. Unless you were making some sort of attachment for the saw to help make the pattern. Or you were rebuilding the saw and machining new parts for it.

The folks who have thanked the op must have done so for a reason.
The MACHINE is a TOOL. Hence the subject matter is in the proper forum.

Jeez, Richard-lighten up...is it gonna kill you to read something about a wood saw?

[Benjamin Roth]

Yes Kelly, I thought this saw would be excellent for patternmaking. Especially useful on the small work I do where precision is important.

I attached two pictures of segmented pattern work on a Mogul grease cup. If the segment angles are not exactly right, they will not form a parallel joint required for good glue strength. I have just been using a band saw to rough them out and a jig to hand sand them to final dimensions. It is a very time consuming process and in this case, not very pretty.

On the plus side, it appears to be a versatile tool capable of precision cuts without the danger of a powered blade.
On the minus side, $1200 seems a bit steep. Looks more like something that you would see on an info-mercial at 3 am for 3 easy payments of $99.....
Does it belong here? Well - Tools is tools...

It is an interesting saw, even though I think its over priced. Which is probably due to a nich market who would buy it.

I did like the pictures of the patterns though. I haven't made to many of them.

I don't think you will ever change my mind that it should be posted under woodworking though.
