- Video 2 of homemade Sawmill..Testing and fitting all parts at this point. Test Ran this phase of it for app. 2 minutes and moderate speed only being that most parts were only tack welded, to see if blade would stay on pulleys

I notice a lot of people are looking for Steel wheels On my project I came across A guy thrown away Conveyor Wheels With gear reduction My project is 3" blades Looking for 4 to 5" blades It's gonna be a tree trimmer on the Bobcat Thanks for sharing that video
That would be cool!
Great build!
Nice job
I finished my mill about six years ago and put a 3 inch centrifugal clutch on the motor with a 14 inch driven pulley so at top engine RPM I have a driven pulley speed of about 740 RPM. That gave my blade an SFM of close to 3300 which I thought was a little to fast but the blade manufacturer recommends 5500 SFM..
I had an issue with the speed of blade when I first built it. I had to change the drive pulley down to a 11". Not sure what my blade speed is, but it works great like it is
So you’re using a 3” motor pulley and a 11” drive pulley with 19” blade pulleys?
That sounds about right
I'm just assembling all of the parts for my version. Can you tell me how you attached your carriage tube to the threaded rod. I'm using 3/4 inch rods and I have a threaded coupling which I will carefully weld to the tube. Really like your design. I too am using recycled stuff as much as possible. Take care. Phil
I purchased the correct nuts for my rod and welded them to the bottom of my carriage.. Make sure to put plenty of lubricant that will help the nuts from welding to the rod
I would really like to see how that works out adjusting the tension and tracking on the same end. And from what I see engine wise. that 14 HP Kohler will work just fine if you are running 16" +/- blade wheels?? And yes, you need a larger engine to blade wheel pulley. About 12". So far, I would say that you have yourself a sweet build going on there and I want to see where this goes so, please keep posting your progress. Really nice so far.
I have shives that are a little over 19" Diameter and it seems to be just right.. The engine runs and cuts good as it is at around 40% throttle, but I have a bigger pulley that I will be trying to see what the difference will be. Hope to see a big improvement.. Appreciate the comments..and advise
Yeah man, get into that torque range @ 80%+ and let it rip.. At the HP you have, you want about 3800 to 4000 SFPM blade speed. It will eat logs at that speed.
I should get a chance next week when I install the new blade and when i do I will try to video installation of it, to help varify what I do and how it is done
would recommend some diagonal welded bracing and a double vertical arm instead of a single. 4 pipes, not two for the vertical support. 3 bearing blade guides not one in order to encapsulate and control the blade and keep it from slipping off. 13 hp or above, 10 inch large pully or larger on the drive wheel.
Please take a look at my other video's. It shows some of those suggestions already done.Thanks
Nice job ..
Appreciate the comment. Thanks
I'm wondering if you should add a 45% stabler bar to back of legs to help keep vibrations down. Question about band saw blade wheels they appear to be narrower then your band have you noticed a problem with that? Looks great going to copy your design desperately need one right now thanks for videoing.
That is what I had in mind, once I get a little more time to do it. we are in the middle of building a new home and my time is slim..My band saw wheels are narrower, but it has never been an issue, I would not want them to take up the width of blade as that would ruin my tips on my blades pretty quickly
Or are you just going to run the blade right on the wheel steal against steal and if so do you think it will slip as your starting to cut into the log ?? Also thank you so much for all your help
I don't believe that would be a good decision for many reasons. First I do not think it would work and would cause many other issues
Are you going to run a v belt inside the groove of the pulley like a tire ??
Yes that is the way I currently run it

thank You
The only concern that I can see would be the amount of stress that the weld between the vertical structure and it's horizontal supports. Consider beefing up the joint.
So far no issues. But you are correct. Appreciate the comment
where did you get the blade wheels?
I sell them along with the caster wheels for tracks
The ratio for a 13 HP Motor should be 4 to 1 that Will gave You for a 18.75 sheves 4500 feet minutes on your sawblade ....good work. Sgt rod
appreciate that. A lot of folks have been asking me that question.. Thanks Again
Hi Larry. Thanks for sharing it. great project. If you sell that how much?
I might be selling this mill less engine..I have two other ones and one I am building right now...I would probably let it go for around $1400 just a guess.. I would need to put a number on what all the parts cost plus labor
Hi, A few questions:
1) Is that a centrifugal clutch on the motor? If so, can you provide spec/supplier?
2) What is your "center/center" dimension of the main pulleys that the blade runs on?
Thanks, Jeff
Yes it is a centrifugal clutch, on a 1" shaft..It is rated for a 8-13 HP Engine..We sell them on ebay under seller Flatscat1202...I will need to get you the measurements
What size bandsaw wheels are those and where did you find the and how much did you pay for them I have been looking for some that are at least 19 inch round maybe larger but the cost is like crazy so if I can ask what sizes are yours and what did you pay for them
Go to the following link www.ebay.com/itm/18-3-4-BAND-SAWMILL-WHEELS-PORTABLE-BAND-SAWMILL-BANDMILL-LUMBER-WOOD-2-/162429888219?hash=item25d19366db
I built mine and trued them up on the axle itself..
23" x 1.75" wheels are perfect for a 1.25" blade.
I will really like to get some of band whiles PS tell where I can get them

One more thing how big around is your pillow bearings and your drive shaft around??
sorry for the late response, but they are 1" shafts
🤩👌
appreciate the comment. Thank You
What size is your blade?
196"
amigo qual lamina voce usou nela ?
Sorry but I do not understand
@@LarrySbrusch He wanted to know what blade did you use on this saw...
Why is your shop much more organized than mine?
Not all of it is that way, you should see the back side of it...I sell online, so I have to have part of it clean to ship daily
You for real need to get rid of those threaded rods , & the chains on top , & go with a boat winch to raise & lower it ,but it looks cool other than that
I would have to disagree with you on the boat winch..I have been down that road on my other sawmill.. and it was not as accurate as this machine. The rods you see on this machine are for a lathe and will last a lot longer than regular all thread rod..adjustment is very accurate and stable and final cuts on board is more true..
@@LarrySbrusch wow, that's awesome to know, i just figured the chains would give you troubles from sagging & slipping off the gears, & the rods would end up , well never mind, your the man, i guess 1 does learn something new everyday thank you kind sir, i so love this build, i just gotta have 1
Appreciate the comment
NOT everyone can do it, and the TRICKY PART is the ALIGNMENT of BAND SAW & WHEEL , please let me know if I can buy from you w/o engine and tracks for easy shipping and How much it COST???? thank you
I am in the middle of building a new home about 8 hours from my current residence or else I would be glad to build you one..i will be tied up for around 3 months, once I make the wife happy, I will be back to my old fun and games at my new place. I am going to do some upgrades to this mill as soon as I get the chance. I want to beef up the guide wheels. I would also like to set the main uprights back about another 4 inches to give it even better and a more even control when going through the logs.. I have cut many logs with it at this point and so far I like the design. Stay in touch if you haven't purchased one later on, I will see what I can do to help you
My plan is to ship to Philippines that's why I don't need engine an tracks 'cause it adds weights for shipping , I wish I can visit your place to see the unit.... thanks a lot....

Where you buy steel wheels
I sell them at txdashcovers.com
with 14 hp your blade should rotate about 4000 sfpm (surface feet per minute) Here is how you figure the correct ratio .vintagemachinery.org/math/sfpm.aspx You want the drive pulley as large as you can get and the engine pulley as small as you can get. I'd say you need an 18.75 drive and a 4.5 engine if your band wheels are 19". Your current gearing has the blade going like 11000 sfpm thats like 3 times as fast as it should be spinning.
