• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Bet not many have seen a Burrows,Green MZ band saw

Thought you all like to see this rare 1949 chair saw i just picked up. This is a Mr Burrows and Mr Green(Bursgreen)Sagar developments vintage, Tag claims its the the 14th saw made in 1949. Scrit had one of these. there about as cool as it gets in the band saw world.

Amazing - both the table and saw tilt independently?

Rod sorry the top pic is with the table somewhat dismantled for the move. the table is fix level and is not adjustable independent of the canting saw. there is a parallel arm affixed to the table and body that maintain a level table. What is real cool is the table mouth opening is always bang on to the blade going through and this was a common problem with ship saws. The ship saws all had some way for the table to slide when the saw was tipped but this MZ has the privet just below the table trunnion such a way as to not need this feature. Most of the tipping ship band saws pivoted on the bottom wheel arbor where as the bursgreen does not so the table maintains its position with the blade and bottom guilds. One other thing is this can be set against a wall with no room needed for it to tilt because it tip backwards to most ship saws,
 
Jack, first time I have seen this saw, looks really cool, I want one !!!!!!

Whats up with the motor ?, have scraped a fair few of those brook motors when I moved two years ago, Have you got any pictures of the other side of the saw, should love to see more of this fantastic saw.
