How many of you use saw benches?

[testcricket01]

Ive been looking for a old cast iron saw bench, old pto or belt driven or electric cheap enough and close enough finally found one pick it up tomorow my plan is to mount a petrol engine on it to power it. Mount it on a small trailer ive got. How do people find them? Ive got a log splitter which is abit slow i find. Also does anyone have a link to where i would find the big wood blades to buy online?

 

Thanks

i use an old huxstable bench and logsplitter of the back of my ford 4000, great set up sometimes can be faster than my mates firewood processor, on big stuff

Will the brackets that hold the guard on not make sliding timber past the blade difficult??

Havent seen it in the flesh yet, im going to be using it for firewood so i will only be using the front half of the blade so shouldnt come into contact with the bracket.

I use one powered from an old grey fergie, ideal for processing and then running through a splitter, not much in the way of health and safety guards though ...

Im not worried about hse as its only cutting firewood for my self and family and close friends no one else is going to use it.
