Band Built With a Purpose. The Waterous 7-ft. Bandmill was built with a purpose—to handle logs larger than can be economically cut on a 6-ft. Pony Mill, to cut faster than the Pony, and at the same time to be less expensive than the heavy mills which have been used to do this fast cutting en medium- sized logs. The Waterous 7-ft. Bandmill takes a saw from 14 to 12 gauge up to 12-in. wide. It will split a 36-in. log

Pony Mill, to cut faster than the Pony, and at the same time to be less expensive than the heavy mills which have been used to do this fast cutting en medium- sized logs. The Waterous 7-ft. Bandmill takes a saw from 14 to 12 gauge up to 12-in. wide. It will split a 36-in. log. It has all the fast cutting features of our 8. (> and 10 ft. mills, and at the same time re- presents a saving of several hundred dol- lars in initial expense, in up-keep of saws and in filing tool equipment. The saving in initial cost is made pos- sible by the fact that the expensive ex- perimental work and the testing out of . the fast cutting features—the spring cush- ioned tension device, the double cutting guides, the steam raising and lowering attachments, etc.—has already been done on our heavier mills. All you pay for is the cost of construction. Upper and lower wheels being much closer together than on these larger mills, the saw blade is held stifter in the cut, with the result that the 7 ft. mill can be crowded to the limit and still turn out perfect lumber. On similar sized stock, it will out cut the 8 ft. mill any day in the This photo and these dimensions tell the whole story Frame— T 8" x 8' 3" over all. Wheels—7' diameter, 9" face.
