Introduction As a result of numerous inquiries and requests for information which have been received, the Simonds Manufacturing Company some time ago concluded to issue a series of booklets covering the manufacture, care and use of Circular Saws, Band Saws and Machine Knives. The first named book, The Circular
Saw has been published. It met with popular favor and appears to
be appreciated by users of circular saws. We hope The Band Saw
which we herewith present for your consideration will prove as
satisfactory as its companion work and that it may contain
information which will be available for use in the great
woodworking industry all over the world, In presenting The Band Saw it has been our endeavor to set forth accurate data, the greater part of which is founded on information which has been compiled and which we accumulated from our store of records and actual experience of eighty-nine years as makers of steel cutting edges. While we do not wish to convey the impression that we are super-authority on the subject of handling saws, we do say that the information we herein offer is considered most authentic. We have avoided expression of opinions by individuals or organizations, and have grouped ideas from experienced sawyers, filers and millmen in every section, to which we have added our own expert knowledge gained as saw makers. It has been the endeavor of the Simonds Manufacturing Company, since it first commenced to make saws, to keep in constant touch with those who use saws, and as a result we have become familiar with many of the troubles incidental to their use. We therefore offer The Band Saw for your approval in the belief that it may be of service to the sawyer, filer or millman, who is constantly seeking accurate information which will tend to improve his business.
