A NEW MACHINE OR APPARATUS CONSISTING OF A COMBINED CIRCULAR SAW BENCH WITH BORING APPARATUS, BAND SAW, SAW SHARPENER, AND TOOTHING OR GULLETING SAWS
Year: 1878

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Benjamin Beynon, of the Firm of J. C. Stark &
Co., of Torquay, in the County of Devon, Ironfounders, and Bernard James
• Webber, of Newton, in the said County, Engineer, for the Invention of "A
NEW MACHINE OR APPARATUS CONSISTING OF A COMBINED CIRCULAR SAW
BENCH WITH BORING APPARATUS, BAND SAW, SAW SHARPENER, AND TOOTHING
OR GULLETING SAWS."
Sealed the 22nd October 1878, and dated the 25th April 1878.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Benjamin Beynon
and Bernard James Webber at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on
the 25th April 1878.
WILLIAM BENJAMIN BEYNON, of the Firm of J. C. Stark & Co., of Torquay, in
the County of Devon, Ironfounders, and BERNARD JAMES WEBBER, of Newton, in
the said County, Engineer. "A NEW MACHINE OR APPARATUS CONSISTING OF A
COMBINED CIRCULAR SAW BENCH WITH BORING APPARATUS, BAND SAW, SAW
SHARPENER, AND TOOTHING OR GULLETING SAWS."
This Invention consists of a novel arrangement and combination of parts together
forming a combined machine or apparatus which shall perform the functions of a
circular saw bench and operate as a boring apparatus, band
SAW, and saw sharpener,
and also operate as a toothing and gulleting apparatus.
The circular saw table or bench is furnished with a guide which is so arranged
that it can be set instantly, there being a slot in the bed plate in which the guide
slides, and, when set, is tightened by a screw. The bed plate forms a hinge at one
end to enable the saw to be taken out, whereby we have the advantage of a bearing
on each side of the saw, so that it may be run at a much higher speed without
vibrating.
The frame of the band saw is bolted to the circular saw table, and is of a
quadrant form, with a dial from the centre which has a slot from end to end,
except sufficient metal at ends for slot pin; in the slot, to carry or take the saw,
Price 61

page_text: is filled a screw pin, the other is tightened by a slot bolt which slides up and down
to the diameter of the saw; at the upper part of the said slot dial there is a similar
pin which slides in a slot made in the quadrant bar, which gives any angle or
any shaped tooth, as the emery wheel will cut the tooth of the saw to any shape
required.
The emery wheel is fitted on a shaft made of steel or other suitable metal, and
set in gun-metal bearings, which are carried on a slot lever with a handle in front;
when working, the emery wheel is adjusted by the rising and lowering of the lever,
which is self acting.
On the same shaft is carried the upper drum of the band saw, the lower drum
being connected by a moveable arm.
The table is carried on the quadrant dial so as to give any angle to the cut.
The gulleting and toothing apparatus is combined with the saw table, but it can
be worked connected or disconnected as one and the same machine.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by 1
the said William Benjamin Beynon and Bernard James Webber in the Great
Seal Patent Office on the 25th October 1878.
WILLIAM BENJAMIN BEYNON, of the Firm of J. C. Stark & Co., of Torquay, in
the County of Devon, Ironfounders, and BERNARD JAMES WEBBER, of Newton, in
the said County, Engineer. "A NEW MACHINE OR APPARATUS CONSISTING OF A
COMBINED CIRCULAR SAW BENCH WITH BORING APPARATUS, BAND SAW, SAW
SHARPENER, AND TOOTHING OR GULLETING SAWS."
This Invention consists of a novel arrangement and combination of parts, together
forming a combined machine or apparatus which shall perform the functions of a
circular saw bench and operate as a boring apparatus, band saw, and saw sharpener,
and also operate as a toothing and gulleting apparatus.
And in order that this Invention may be properly understood, we will now proceed
to describe the same, reference being had to the annexed Drawings, and to the
letters and figures marked thereon.
The same letters of reference indicate similar parts in both the Figures.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of our machine; Figure 2 represents an end
elevation of the same.
The circular saw table or bench A is furnished with a guide B, which is so
arranged that it can be set instantly, there being a slot C in the bed plate D in
which the guide B slides, and, when set, is tightened by a screw E. The bed plate
D forms a hinge F at one end to enable the saw G to be taken out, whereby we
have the advantage of a bearing on each side of the saw so that it may be run at
a much higher speed without vibrating.
The frame H of the band saw I is bolted to the circular saw table. Its peculiarity
is in having a quadrant J with a slot K in it, on which is fixed the saw, which can

page_text: be so graduated as to take in any size saw and arranged to any bevil, so that the
emery wheel can be made to cut the teeth at all angles. The table also is made to
move at any angle whilst sawing by means of a cam, so that timber may be cut at
any bevil on either side whilst in action.
The emery wheel M is fitted on a shaft N made of steel or other suitable metal
and set in gun metal bearings 0, 0, which are carried on a slot lever P with a
handle Qin front; when working, the emery wheel M is adjusted by the rising and
lowering of the lever P, which is truly balanced.
In the same shaft N is carried the upper drum R of the band saw I, the lower
drum S being carried by a movable arm T.
The table U is so connected with the quadrant J as to give any angle to
the cut.
Though the gulleting and toothing apparatus is combined with the saw table,
we would observe that it can be worked connected or disconnected as one and the
same machine, and we would also remark that these machines can be worked either
by hand or power.
Having thus described the nature and object of our said Invention, we declare
that what we claim and desire to be secured to us by the herein-before in part
recited Letters Patent is, the general arrangement and novel combination of parts,
together forming a combined circular saw bench, with boring apparatus, band saw,
saw sharpener, and toothing or gulleting for saws, substantially as herein-before
described, and shewn on the Drawings, or any mere modification thereof.
In witness whereof, we, the said William Benjamin Beynon and Bernard
James Webber, have hereunto set our hands and seals, this Twenty-fourth
day of October, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred
and seventy-eight.
