This Marvel is quite a mechanical puzzle,
but it does appear to lift the blade
on the back stroke.

Now I have a horizontal bandsaw but would have to jury rig
something for things bigger than 6 by 10.


Upthread was a discussion of rotating the workpiece
on - axis and cutting in radially a few times.
I think that would leave too rough a surface, though.

I *like* this $aw, though!
