An offeed rollcase would sure save you a lot of hassle and make your operation safer. Putting on another flat belt could power the rollcase, you can use something light like 80 or 60 pitch chain to drive the other rollers

Nice looking bac to see how far you have come.

I don't know how hard it would be to move the belts on the pulleys, but that would give a little room for some kind of guard by the clutch handle.

Seems like you are under powered, too many teeth in the saw blade. Yeah I know it sounds crazy. What you want to do is lower/ sharpen back every other tooth to prevent them from cutting. You can also do this by just installing a new tooth in every other location. Sawing will actually be easier on the equipment and yourself.

4:59 Thanks for the heads-up!!!!!!! Glenwood's prolly made in china.

What blade do you have? And how many teeth? Trying to get a good one for mine

Wow !! Good luck with that.

I've been wondering if you were still sawing.

Very unsafe to be on your phone while pulling the lever , I won't call it sawing , I call it a mill operator

Good job, and you got John’s approval that’s a big deal he’s the man……thanx again

The mill sure looks different it looks great, we love that cat……and it’s cutting nice good job

I bet the extra lever was put on for some kind of aux. grinder or somethin.

I started watching way back when you first were setting it up man she's lookin good over there. I'm finally picking mine up saturday, wish me luck

good to see you back on YT hope all is good!

Nice wide lumber your cutting. Nice looking to. What happen to the saw dust drag not working ?

I like that mill! Nice.

i want that in my backyard

Very nice 🎉🎉🎉

What model Cat are you running for power unit?

Man, you are making me nervous walking around the saw blade with it running, you don't make too many mistakes around an open blade saw mill and live to tell about it!!!!

Nice built, far better than commercial saws

Looking good

Don't stand there

It's not as much a manual labor but man that is slow gonna going

Darn thing runs good once it gets warmed up

You don't want anymore I'll take it bro

Screaming freedom!

Good machine

My dad would love this video. He worked in a saw mill for 30 years

Looks like you got her dialed in 👍

I remember when this stuff was almost worthless. Im assuming there's a market for it now?

Deff not a clean cut the far end is way thicker than the near

Wormy wood looks so cool

Y'all sharpen that blade when it needs it, or just replace it? I bet it's expensive!?🤔

Why do all bird sounds on peoples videos always sound so " Fake " . Its weird as obviously people aren't going around adding fake bird calls to videos yet nearly every video on UA-cam with birds in the background sound like its been added via AI . .

Youre too much!!!

Would scare the fuck out of me after some of the shit I saw in high school woodshop😭😂😂

Should,a used gas,is rag!!!!

hi there well done , lots of work , best to all john

Nice video

Theres my favorite sawmill guy. Still have all your phalanges?

That looks like a big nut on the sawblade . We had a blade and someone made a flywheel out of steel plate . That was 40 years ago . I bet no one ever finished it .

So if it smokes, it means that it has been used a few times before.

Hopefully your channel will remain the Rusty Mill and not become the Bloody Mill!! hopefully you are working on SOME safety issues.

Good job

Some facts to know: As a rule each tooth requires 3-4 Horse power. For an example a 42 tooth blade would require 126 HP minimum to feed it properly. We can have a big enough engine but if the pulley reduction is not correct, it can cause one to run the engine at a lower speed producing less HP because the blade is set/hammered to run at a specific speed. Each tooth needs to take a 0.050 inch bite. The saw should be making saw chips and not saw dust. Saw dust will produce friction and drag on the saw. It also points to slow carriage feed rate or an underpowered situation. If power and feed rates are correct we could expect the carriage to travel 2.1 inches for every 1 revolution of the saw blade. 0.50 inches x 42 teeth = 2.1 inches of carriage travel. That is approximately 9 secs to cut thru a 10 ft log. If we find we are making saw dust and not saw chips because we have either to many teeth or not enough engine HP. An easily solution is to knock back every other tooth so that they are not cutting. My blades teeth needed changing and I only replaced every other tooth with a new tooth achieving the same result which was reducing the power needed by the blade, or doubling my HP depending on how you look at it. I seems strange to think that less saw teeth is actually more. It is for an under powered mill.

3/8 cable is more than enough. Use one length of cable not two. The threaded rod takes up the slack. Attach one end of the cable to the carriage's fixed cable attachment point. Then run the cable to the idler pulley at the end of the mill and then come over the top of the cable drum and make 4 or 5 wraps around the drum with the cable exiting the drum from the top to the other end of the mill running the cable thru the idler and then to the adjusting threaded bolt pulling as much slack as you can out of the cable when you clamp it to the bolt. Then adjust till the cable is taught by not tight tight. The wraps around the cable drum have a clamping effect and the cable will not slip. The cable will run on the drum just it does now. Before you tighten the cable you may want to push the carriage by hand to see how the cable feeds and leaves the cable drum. It will walk a little side to side as it feeds and you may have to move the wrap over to one side or other so that the cable does not walk off. You are going to love it when you get it setup correctly.

You have come a long way with your mill! Nice to see. It would work better if you would change the way you have the carriage cable attached on the drum. The cable ends should be attached to the Carriage. Take the middle of your cable length and make about 4 wraps around the drum. Then place a turn buckle at one of the cable ends that attach to the carriage. This will allow you to take up slack in the cable and not have all that back and forth jerking of the carriage.

Give her all the way. Put some ketchup on that can

hi there i just did that last week
