Abstract
A butchering saw (10) particularly suited for splitting hogs is provided. The saw (10) includes a cutting blade (70) which rotates in the preferred embodiment. A drive shaft (48) is provided which has a power take-off location at one end (50) operatively associated with the blade. A motor (38) serves to rotatably drive the drive shaft (48) for turning the blade and performing the cutting operations. A driving mass mechanism (86) is carried by the drive shaft (48) to assist in maintaining a constant motion of the drive shaft during butchering operations in which the blade (70) cuts through soft tissue and bone which apply varying resistances or loads to the cutting motions.
