The saw arbor is 2 7/16 in. diameter, and runs in two self- adjusting, self-oiling boxes, which line themselves in every direction, insuring cool journals. The lower end of arbor is case-hardened and runs on a hard steel step, which can be adjusted vertically by a set screw. The first and every other cut with this machine is a shingle.
