HENRY DISSTON & SONS, HANDBOOK FOR LUMBERMEN
For over 100 years Henry Disston & Sons was America's
leading sawmaker, the standard by which all others were measured.
Among its most important products were the band, and circular
and crosscut saws used throughout the lumber industry. The Disston
Handbook for Lumbermen describes and illustrates these products
in great detail and, most import antly, explains how they were
used, maintained, and installed. It became the bible of the industry.
In this reprint of the 1902 edition are sections on filing and
setting of teeth, tensioning, fitting, and aligning, supplemented
with illustrations, diagrams and charts that provide a complete
coverage of the subject. 168 pages.............................................................................................$17.50
