I looked at pictures of older Bäuerle band saws from the 1950s and 1960s when they were made from heavy cast iron. I can not find product brochures or catalogs that describe the characteristics of the saws of that period.
On the saws with 700 mm and 800 mm wheels from that time was on the outer edge of the column, a round handwheel between the wheels and just above the table. I can not figure out what it was for? For other band saws, I'm pretty familiar with most settings, so I can not figure out what a wheel would do in that position. Is it a kind of handbrake? Table inclination?
Does anyone know what it does?
Does anyone know about these saws or does it use a more general theme. They seem to be really well built and heavy, but I do not know if there were any bearing or alignment issues. I would like one here.
Many Thanks!
