This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 37.7.82.29 (talk) at 20:53, 17 December 2021 (It's invented AFTER the chainsaw. The patent is from 1945. Chainsaws existed before then.).

A sally saw is a portable, mechanical, motorized saw.

It was used for limbing (removing branches from the stem of a felled tree), and bucking (cutting a felled and delimbed tree into logs).

Construction

A sally saw consists of several parts:

  • An engine (internal combustion)
  • A drive shaft that transmits power from the engine out to the cutting blade
  • A cutting blade - a circular saw, sometimes hidden within a guard

History

The sally saw was created by the Cummings Machine Works in the first half of the 20th century.[1]
