Milling Deadfall Pine Logs on Circle Sawmill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Cut down 5 dead pine trees, milled to 1"x7' boards. Log diameter ranged from 11" to 20". Still working on the Foley Belsaw M14 sawmill to improve performance of circular sawmill. Triple T Ranch & Sawmill on Choctaw Ridge is homesteading with a sawmill & anvil.
Love the video. Like it when I can learn something about sawdust and tools!!!
Great old mill, everyone should have one to play with, dt
"I spend more time tweaking the mechanisms than actually sawing the logs" LMAO-so true!
You need a divider behind the blade , it keeps the boards from going dack on the blade and if you a small angle it will flop them over
OK. Sounds good. I got a welder coming in January to lengthen bunk from 30' to 60'. We will add a log feed too. Thanks for the feedback.
Nice set up
We must be related, not many Traylors

Long ways from east texas!
Nice video! It looks like your missing a riving knife/splitter, after your log comes off the blade.
George M. Kokinda Jr. yes sir I am going to install but hate to stop to do it!
I saw a slab catch the saw and go into the rafters once.The speed and power was unbelievable. Many sawyers back in the day were hurt or worse when this happened. You shouldn’t start that thing up without someone to offbare.
C Penn, I agree, but I am a one man show. So I plan to install roller tables and an active roller. Recently, I had a 1x12 board fall off, go between blade and table, then the blade caught the board threw it with such force it broke into, one part flew 20' away, the other came through my lexan, bent the tiller, hit me in the head. I changed the way I work now - with more emphasis on setup and safety. Thanks for looking.
Ditch the tractor and get a dedicate power plant. Need a riving knife and a wider out feed table.
Scott I plan to install power rollers to take the boards to the end. The 2x12 you see in the video is temporary. The knife is in the plans. Gotta keep the tractor, its a historical reminder of days gone past!
Do you have a pattern for that hat?
We need the experienced Monroes to come over and buck slabs. For that, they will receive a hat.
Quelle est l'épaisseur d's planches ? 3 cm ?
2.54 cm et 5.715 cm. Merci
merci pour ta réponse
Nice old Belsaw. I have an older (I think) model A-14 on 32' bar joists and there's a splitter in line with the blade. You have the newer upgraded dogs. The original were cheap junky cast pieces with just 3/4" x 1/4" flat steel that would just bend as the log pulled into the blade. I made my own that are very heavy duty.

Yours looks to have the 40" blade that was standard on these mills. Mine is fitted with a 50" and ran with a six cylinder Oliver 88.
Yes its a 40". The trees on my property require a larger diameter. I have a 56" inserted tooth on hand. Do you think the 1 3/4" mandrel can handle the extra torque? I looked at your video of the cedar. Looks good! I love sawmilling and woodworking!!!! I have another m-14 on wheels but it needs some work.
I'm running a 50" and figure I am pushing the envelope with that. I wouldn't crowd it too hard with the 54" in hardwoods. The bad thing with mine is you can't hardly 'feather' the control to creep the carriage along slowly. I wouldn't think soft woods would be much of a problem but boy I sure would hate to twist or warp the mandrel. Our old Fisher and Davis back on the farm had a 54" insert tooth and the mandrel was 2 1/2" if I'm remembering correctly.
