  • THE ONE TRUE DANGER SAW! This 1949-patented portable power actuated rim-driven annular saw or "Sally Saw", as it was marketed, was born in the depths of hell to seek revenge upon its enemies. Once double-crossed by a half-man/half-tree hybrid, it now seeks for limbs of any kind. Luckily, as an amorphous blob-of-a-human-being, I alone posses the ability wield power over it.
    Watch as I unravel this 1.5HP circular saw on a stick made by Cummings Machine Works of Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
    Have you ever wondered how it was all going to end? Your life, flashing before your eyes...OR ARE THOSE THE RED WOOD CHIPS FROM A LOG AND YOUR FOOT?
    This 80lbs behemoth is made almost entirely of aluminum and tries as hard as it can to make sure you do not enjoy using it. The problem, it only makes me want to use it more. It has got me under its spell. I HAVE BECOME SALLY SAW, destroyer of worlds.
    If you'd like to learn more about how I am a totally kid-friendly saw that would never hurt anyone and definitely didn't take over this channel:

      Did you notice that the blade rotates UP? Just how do you expect it to "kick back" when the blade is driving the saw down,,,,INTO the guide. (Where it rests while sawing.
      Unless you change the laws of physics there is NO FRIGGIN WAY you could have this saw get away from you the way a chain saw does. In fact I see no way it can hurt you at all unless you stuck your hand or foot into the blade on purpose (while somebody else ran it for you. The blade is fully enclosed over like 270 degrees and the only open section is the approximately 90 degrees on axis that is AWAY from the operator. If you were a contortionist you couldn't get into the blade from the operator's position. .... The only thing I see is that blade needs a proper professional grinding.
      The most dangerous part or the saw is the hot muffler. But I don't know anybody that would be stupid enough to touch it, but maybe you could get a snowflake to give it a try.

      I read the patent for it - here is why its an "annular saw" - there is less of the blade in the wood when cutting fresh soft wood in summer when its wet and very gummy and you dont have a very powerful engine. They even did annular chain saws! They did not have the modern steels so chainsaws blunted very quickly, they did not run at high speed cos the steel could not cope with the temperatures so they gummed up very badly of pine. They were mostly 2 people saws.

The smaller an engine is it is worse to have a four stroke engine as it only produces power on one engine stroke where as a two stroke produces power for every stroke of the crank but they pollute the air so much more because of the fuel oil mix.

Also no valve clearance adjusters, the ends of the valve stems were ground for clearance. Yet they still have ball bearing mains! Many were even Glyptal painted inside to lock casting impurities in, and some featured an oil sump with a little plunger pump actuated off the crank that pumped oil into a dish for the slinger on the bottom of the rod.

    There is a hell of a lot of engineering in that design. Amazing.
    I don't get all the comments on how it's so dangerous. You have a solid blade that is mostly covered by a safety shield with a long guide bar and you're well behind the blade. A chainsaw on the other hand is a long, fully exposed cutting chain that can break and whip around at high speed.
    Granted that with modern engines you could probably drop the weight of that saw in half and increase it's horsepower at the same time. I think it's an awesome piece of design. The gearing alone is a work of art.

    For those questioning the sanity of this design, it's to allow you to cut a large diameter log without needing an impractically large and dangerous circular saw blade. If you want to cut a 10" diameter log, your blade needs to be more than twice that diameter. You run into real problems with gyroscopic forces and friction. This design, with it's solid and enclosed blade is *far* safer than a chain saw. The only real problem is the difficulty in creating a driving mechanism for the blade. I could see the possibility of modern electronics being able to drive that blade like an induction or BLDC motor without the noisy gearing.

    • @kameljoe21
      @kameljoe21 2 роки тому +6

      I would agree with you. This blade could be cnc cut ( one could even cut a 12 inch carbide tip blade and cnc plasma or waterjet cut it. ) along with all of the housing and a cordless tool could be made. Most of the housing is pretty easy to build. The idle gears would be easy as well. You would only need to build one main gear either direct or 90 degree gearbox. Would be a simple tool for cutting a lot of stuff.

      The front of the ring cutter can be covered by two swinging spring-loaded shields / guards that fold inward, as the blade is pushed into the log. If these shields are also serrated opposite the direction of ring rotation, they reduce kickback and rotation of the tool or log as it cuts. The shields can be latched closed so that they don't open to expose the blade until the driving clutch is engaged.

You know what happens when a man falls into a very, very large chipper? Just gone, barely enough bits to fill a coffee can. He saw that, happened right in front of him. I've done some hard, crappy jobs but I can guarantee 100% I would not have cut it (lol) as a lumberman in the early 20th century.

      Well turns out they are still using cables like that in some logging operations, and though they do love to play up the drama it's certainly dangerous handling those cables. Something that I can't help but wonder is if all the communication failures are real or just how many are faked to play up the drama. I mean I can't even remember the number of times I've heard the words "The damned radios out again!" in these shows. Whatever the case it illustrates just how dangerous a lack of communication is. If a log jams when dragged the winch has to be stopped immediately or things can go bad real quick.
      Back before cheap and reliable radios were common communication was done using horns, signal flags, wired clickers or any other way people could come up with. But it seems today most of these techniques has fallen out of favor and few loggers are comfortable using them. It's extra dangerous when the winch operator isn't aware that the radio at the other end no longer works.
      And if the cable doesn't kill you there's hundreds of other ways you can get yourself killed with all the heavy equipment, chain saws and piles of logs all over the forest.
      Damn I guess having the TV going in the background kind of sneaks information into your brain even if you don't actively watch it.
