Proper log saw!

Who needs an emergency stop?!

Like the old " grey furgie "

I wouldn't want to be within 10 feet of that, knowing what can happen.

No concept of self preservation

Thankfully its only a show piece that doesn't get used in anger! The guy has been slowly fixing bits of equipment for it but says that saw used to be awesome for putting points on fence posts!

I was once in the woods with a fairly modern peeler/pointer that was PTO direct drive, so the only way to stop it was to turn off the tractor engine.

 

Upon lifting a strainer on to the peeler bed, a peg got caught on my sleeve and in an instant my left arm was being pulled into the peeler with the strainer. My pal on the other side (he was pointing after the strainers went through the peeler) had no chance to react and turn off the tractor. At the very last fraction of a second before my hand/wrist was going in, my sleeve ripped up to the shoulder and I managed to drop to the floor as some of my sleeve got peeled. It was not a nice experience.

 

Seeing this sawbench reminded me very much of that incident - never again!
