New Felder Bandsaw Commissioned
It was a very proud day for the Club on Tuesday 3rd June when the new FB740 Felder Bandsaw was commissioned.
The FB740 takes the place of a veteran cast iron monster that was unable to be maintained any longer and had become unsafe.
The main function of this saw will be to break down timber for members from slabs and small logs.
Bi-metal blades supplied by Henry Brothers Saws have given us fantastic results with this wonderful machine which is a fine example of the quality engineering Felder is famous for.
The Photo shows Jeff Hawkins and Willi Krainz breaking down a Casuarina log for turning.
Monthly Dinner - Every second Tuesday of each month
Members are reminded that these dinners are a great way to meet up with other members in a social setting.
