Abstract
A sawdust shear apparatus to enable cleaning of the band saw of a band mill. The apparatus has a shear to contact the band saw and a housing to carry the shear. A recess is formed within the housing. The apparatus has a base and a piston extends from the base and is received within the recess with a fluid tight, slidable fit. Fluid can be supplied under pressure to the recess to move the shear outwardly from the base to clean the band saw. A spring or the like urges the shear towards the base. The apparatus is effective in cleaning a band saw with very little maintenance or inspection.
