An old engraving of a vertical saw in the 1800s. It is from a Victorian book of the 1890s on discoveries and inventions during the 1800s. Here the saw blades are powered by steam power via a belt system. Vertical saws utilise a thin metal blade with teeth directed downward to cut the material. The wood is fed through the machine firmly fixed to a moving carriage. The main use of the upright, multi-bladed apparatus is to cut timber into planks.
