It's less acurate & now days has a stainless steel table & blade.
I have an old Dalgety meat saw & the wheels don't have rubber tyres & there are no guides at all, just back bearings, it is rough, very rough....
If I tighten up the blade super tight, it cuts straight for a while but because there are no rubber tyres, the set on one side of the blade bugas up real quick & it leads off in the cut after a while.
I just bought a new Jet 18" from Gary Pye at the Brisbane Show ...
you can see it here..... (I got a beter deal that that. )

The differences. Meat saws generally run no tyres. Their guide set up is a lttle agricultural for timber. They cut on the other side. The smell of meat and remaoval of fat and grease is a pain but it does dissappear.
All these things are easily fixed if you have the money.
Tyres can be fitted by a good vulcaniser and the guides can be made. I actually find that cutting "on the wrong side" can be handy.
I love my bandsaw for its depth of cut and throat width.
Have fun.

Whaddya mean, "the wrong side" ? Do ya mean ya use the back of the blade and keep the teeth all in pristine condition. :confused: I don't get it.
Boring signature time again!

By the time you set one up for WW it would probably cost more than the dedicated unit, but you don't get a mincer!!!

This means you have to stand on the other side of the saw too, not just face the other way.Cliff.

OK, but if I spin the saw arond 180 degrees, aren't I standing on the same side I always was? Does this mean the blade is still the wrong way round? If I do stand to it with my back and don't turn it around, am i doing the opposite of sawing, that is joining two bits of wood into one?
I think wer'e onto something here Cliff, keep between just us.Boring signature time again!

Will it work for stuff ups on any saw or only bandsaw mistakes? :confused:
I don't fancy standing with my back to a table saw trying to do the same, imagine getting a kickback fair in the lower back.Cheers
