This band saw has a solid metal base, and cast iron body. The wheels are also cast with a none slip inner edge. The lower left hand wheel being driven by the engine transfer dirve band and this in turn drives the lower right hand wheel. That wheel would be connected to the upper drive wheel by a fleixable saw blade currently demonstrated with a rubber band as a blade. The blade passes through a movable guide foot. The upper wheel is ajustable to take up the slack in the cutting saw blade. I have no idea if one was actually manuafctured for the job, but suspect that it was, because this is a working model, and all parts move well.
