  • What pushes the log threw the blade?

  • @mannhorn34 read on page 3 , 3rd post up from bottom

  • What is the psi on the tires?

  • @mannhorn34 Nothin special 30 - 32

  • Hi, I come a long line of loggers, I was just wanting to know what you used to keep the saw band lubed? If you are dry cutting, this is a bad idea because the heat will change the Temperature of the blade and make it unsafe over time. You might try a drip system with used oil or even just water to keep the saw band nice a cool. But all in all I really like your outfit.

  • @Clifford1966

    I have a small riding lawnmower gas tank that i have a drip system, i use water with a little dish soap, it is applied to the blade right at the guide bearings right before entering the log, thanks

  • thats what i call a man who doent give in to commercialism . need a birdhouse ill make u a bird house,what a pictureframe ill do the same. oh u need a house ill cut up some 4x4 dont worry

  • i  hope you got 7 ply cooper tires on that thing. just kidding with ya.. i have a hudson,, the oscar 36.. cuts good.. thats cool for a homemade saw.. doesn't the blade wear the tires out, just curious..??

  • How did you make that?

  • Sorry to keep bothering you but I started accruing parts for my saw mill and had some more questions. What is the HP/RPM of the motor and how did you do the drive from the motor to the wheel hub? Is it a chain or belt? Tensioners must be need strategically right?

  • how many fpm. is that blade running it seems awfully fast ,I use water with dish soap on my Hudson Oscar 28 it lubes the blade cool and helps keep the pine pitch from building up. what do you use for the head drive, you mentioned it has three speeds, is a lawn mower transaxle? my dad and I refurbished an old Ireland mill a few years ago and used a hydrostatic transaxle, it worked well as it gave infinite speed so you could cut as fast as possible no matter wood type or log size.
