nice mill you folks have, i lost the bearings in the main shaft on mine last year. hopefully i will get mine back sawing this next summer. Tim from Maine
Good deal ……. That 3208 is perfect it don’t work hard at all I bet….. your carriage is faster than most belsaws that’s sure nice as well….good job ! Thanx for the video.. bryon
I first wondered why the wheels on the log deck, then I saw you turn a log, good idea to help with turning. This winter I hope to set up my Meadows mil and have been watching videos for pointers. Thanks for video!
Nice!! I am not a safety nut, but one thing you may consider is putting a slip point using belts from that tranny to the arbor shaft. Will protect you as the sawyer, the blade, and the arbor for that 1 time the saw sticks in a log. Belts aren't cheap, but cheaper than replacing the other stuff.
Nice setup just found your channel. I like the flip up for the log deck great idea. I got mine running right up to the carriage about 6 in away and bump my knees on it constantly. I have a channel I do a little sawmilling . Well keep making sawdust thanks for sharing.
Have an old wards saw. Had mine set up with the same kind of elevator for the dust. Had to get an automated band mill. Those larger oak logs were killing my back with the cant hook. They're still bullet proof.
Could you share any details about how the generator is wired to the conveyor? Can the generator power the conveyor directly or does it go through a battery?

that is one slick little set up!! you and your dad did a great job how often do you saw and what do you saw mostly?
Mostly softwood and only a few times a year or when we need lumber
Nice setup. Sawmills are dangerous ! The blade is more dangerous than the driveshaft. Be safe and pay attention. Please post more sawmill videos
Thanks I will try to post more
hi there nice sawing john

Really nice set up is there a chance you you can show how the sawdust off the blade feeds the elavator

Roll the log twoards the head blocks and then you dont have to back them up. Please dear god give logic to these people
