Gotta wonder how much a blade costs for that beast.
If you are going down a river at 2 mph and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to shingle your roof?

To be honest, I'm not sure that's a TC (Timber Cutter). They usually had 36" blades and a chain drive arrangement to move the carriage. But it's still an impressive saw.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Sorry, what I meant was a powered chain drive, and not with a hand crank.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Keep in mind that the larger the wheel/blade, the less leverage the motor can exert, so the lower the risk of the blade trying to self feed.
It'll stall more easily as the blade's diameter increases.

Every tool a person should have a healthy respect for and it is the same for this. I would LOVE to have it except the blades would cost a months pay.
