@bradmacaboy If the blade breaks, it will just probably stop moving. Unless it somehow got wrapped around the drive wheel. Probably not a problem, and as for no guards on the wheels, .....you just have to stay alert...no problem, knowing that there are no guards will help keep you on your toes!!

Great job!! Question for you: About how many RPM's does the motor run when cutting soft wood? Which is the relation between pulleys (in. diameter on the pulley on the motor shaft; in diameter on the drive pulley; in. diameter on the wheels? Best.
You guys rock! I love the recycled nautilus machine. Looks like a very serviceable mill. I'd love to see closer details of the saw itself in another video. I'm interested in a closer look at how you tension the belt with the motor being on a sliding plate.
Now that's what I call usin' the ol' noggin'... Man, that's a sweet ass piece of machinery you have created there... The only thing I can't wrap my head around is the track, how do you keep the sawdust and smaller chunks of wood from gettin' on the track ,how do you keep it cuttin' so straight? And is that angle iron for track??? Can you explain that to me, preesh...
Damn fine job guys, I dearly miss Kentucky, lived there over 25 years but moved to find work. I hope to return one day, a place where people can get the job done and you guys are great examples of that. I wish I had the specs on how you did what so I could tinker and see what I come up with. Great work
how much are the blades? any kinda lubricant needed? how do you sharpen them if needed? i been told most people just buy new blades because they are cheaper then to get sharpend, great dumpster diving pieces,!
It was set up for diesel and kero but blade manufacturer said you could use cooking spray (Pam). Tried it and it works great. I hit the blade with a quick spray at the guide with the blade is idling slow (I think you can see it in the video). Works well for small jobs which is mostly what mill is used for. Would go back to bug sprayer oilier if I cut a lot. This is just easier. I buy the cheap stuff for at the dollar store. Blade stays cool and wood smells like butter :-)
Non drive wheel is set on a plate that is hinged with an adjustment screw. You can adjust the amount of toe in (I guess that would describe it) which causes the blade to walk backward into the guide system. This same plate is moves across two pieces of stock to give you blade tension. If you see the T handle with a treadrod sticking out the left, that is the tension adjustment. The toe / plate adjustment is not quite as visible.
Timberwolf blades about $25 each. Pushes pretty easy, probably need a larger motor to have a cable advance hard wood might bogg it down. Resharp on blades is about $8 each
that's awesome! you building a house?

very nicely done.
one question, why no blade lube?
doesn't the blade get hot?
I drip diesel fuel on mine, keeps it cool and clean.

That mill works good.
are the blades hard to find, how do you sharpen them.
Like my saw mill some sort of propel system to pull the caridge would be nice.
