I reviewed the thread and may of missed the dates, but I did not find any comments on the date of development of the band saw. I believe there must be a distinction between sash sawn and band sawn. I have included two photos, the first one is of stock I cut on my small 1-1/4" band saw. The second from a older structure, perhaps 1850's or maybe newer. They are both 18" wide, for comparative reasons. The saw marks are not square to the board and both about 3/8"-1/2" apart meaning the feed rates could have been the same. Or the band turned at a different rate and it just appears to be the same. Could the older board have been sash sawn? The lines show square and the drag of a tooth. Anyone have simular photos of sash sawn stock, 18" or so wide? Tim
