New saw. Wright.

So I had 3 old saws given to me and one is a Wright blade saw. I have not touched it yet but I am very curious to see how this thing works. First thing to do is to pour a little mix into it to see if it will fire or not.
I also read that these got used in slaughter houses at one time. Do not know if that is true or not.

 

We have had a couple of them at our Spring Get to Gethers and they are neat, but slow compared to a chain. I've heard the comments on slaughterhouse use as well.

Can't say I've seen one of those before. Looks like it would give you Popeye arms running that for a while The float bowl on that carburetor is huge! I wonder if that was to overcome running it at steep angles?

 

Some models came with 3 blades. All purpose ,hardwood and meat cutting. Nothing like a little 16:1 seasoning on your steak.

 

This exactly why we use a Sawzal on the Christmas roast.

 

They were available as compressed air powered units, too. Those would have been the way to go for the slaughterhouse.

My brother found a brown one of those in a warehouse, no blade on it though.

 

The float bowl has a huge split in it. Might be a little tough to find parts for. I also have two blades for it.

 

You must have a big oven if your roast needs a sawzall.

 

Early 60's

 

I saw (no pun intended) one of those for sale on FBM few months back. Be interesting to see how it works/cuts. Oversized gas powered sawzall???

 

We have a couple and sharpened properly they can do a decent job. Mine came from a log home builder.

 

Aluminum? They make aluminum rod for torch welding (brazing) aluminum...works well too!

 

If the bowl is of a straight forward shape it's usually easier to turn one out of a chunk of scrap.

 

I have a Miller Tig welder here so who knows.

I also have arms like Arnold!!
