Thought you all like to see this rare 1949 chair saw i just picked up. This is a Mr Burrows and Mr Green(Bursgreen)Sagar developments vintage, Tag claims its the the 14th saw made in 1949. Scrit had one of these. there about as cool as it gets in the band saw world.

Amazing - both the table and saw tilt independently?

Rod sorry the top pic is with the table somewhat dismantled for the move. the table is fix level and is not adjustable independent of the canting saw. there is a parallel arm affixed to the table and body that maintain a level table. What is real cool is the table mouth opening is always bang on to the blade going through and this was a common problem with ship saws. The ship saws all had some way for the table to slide when the saw was tipped but this MZ has the privet just below the table trunnion such a way as to not need this feature. Most of the tipping ship band saws pivoted on the bottom wheel arbor where as the bursgreen does not so the table maintains its position with the blade and bottom guilds. One other thing is this can be set against a wall with no room needed for it to tilt because it tip backwards to most ship saws,
