Step back in time to 1963 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, where Slack Sellers & Co. Was a hub for bandsaw technology. Giant blade production was a specialty, with continuous bandsaw blades rolling off the assembly line. The skilled artisans at Slack Sellers ensured every blade was sharpened to perfection, whether for long or short saws. The iconic Greenwood and Batleys band saw, with its horizontal frame for woods, was a testament to their craftsmanship. The tree cutting steam machine and safety covers on modern bandsaws were yet to come, but the dedication to precision and quality remained unchanged. Carousel animals, intricately cut from wood, showcased the artistry and versatility of these powerful saws.
