Sally Saw
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A sally saw is a portable, mechanical, motorized saw. It was made obsolete by the invention of the chainsaw.
It was used for limbing (removing branches from the stem of a felled tree), and bucking (cutting a felled and delimbed tree into logs).
Construction
A sally saw consists of several parts:
- An engine (internal combustion)
- A drive shaft that transmits power from the engine out to the cutting blade
- A cutting blade - a circular saw, sometimes hidden within a guard
History
The sally saw was created by the Cummings Machine Works in the first half of the 20th century.
