Cordwood saw question

Exactly how is a cordwood saw used? To me it appears the table is in a fixed position and that a "log" would have to be moved into the blade. That seems a bit awkward and dangerous.

(Just got a Ford 9N with a cordwood saw and bush hog, however waiting on delivery, and curious what does what and how.)

We had a cordwood saw and it had the hinged table.
The saw blade was stationary and the hinged table moved the wood toward the saw blade. Sure beat a crosscut saw since not many chainsaws were around then.

Later when we had an H Farmall we had a saw that bolted to the tractor and you could drive it out
in the woods to be used. The table was hinged on it too. Hal

The Ford and most later saws use a hinged table. They are not too dangerous if you work alone as you stand clear of the blade. The saw we had when I was a boy had a roller table and dad said he always prefered that to the hinged ones. I can't say.

When I bought my home there was a cordsaw beside the shed. Looks like it's been sitting there since the shed was erected 20 years ago. It's in a pile of scrap. The wood base has rotted and collapsed and the blade is resting on it, so I can't tell if it is seized up or not. I've been watching the occasional belt drive and belts on ebaY, but it ain't worth fixin 'till I can figure how to feed logs to it with the tractor tied to the saw????

Good excuse for a second tractor?

I am one of those people that loves to still use a cordwood saw but as others will reply they can be dangerous. See "The death of the hired hand" by Robert Frost.

However, to reply, the table should move to "swing" the log into the blade.

Hey, Farrview -- I looked up "The Death of the Hired Hand" by Robert Frost. (Thanks, Google!) I don't get the connection with a cordwood saw; Silas, the hired hand, died a beaten, tired old man -- of natural causes. Did I miss something?

Mark in MS: Glad you are finding the forum helpful. Lots of good folks out there with tons of knowledge, freely offered. As for the saw, yes, they are dangerous, but so is a chain saw. You just have to be careful around them. Hope you get your saw up & running in time to help with the winter's wood!

I have had several and my new wood processor has a cordwood saw as the main saw. The table moves after the cut slide the stick out 16inch and go again. 3 men can move some wood in a day!! one to feed one to say and a taka-way many. big wood is a problem handling and caution is always needed.

Thank you for the responses! This looks like a great forum, especially since I'm sort of new to these ol tractors. Always wanted to get into them.
