Generally speaking, a belt too tight will cause a shaft to break where that one broke, and also the lock collars on the bearings should be removed first from the bearing to efficiently remove the bearings, In my experience of a lifetime industrial mechanic and millwright.
Thanks for the video! I noticed you run the larger cuts last.. How long do the logs have to dry or cure, before they are ready for milling? And do you control the humidity in the process?
You would have a lot less trouble if that was a round drive roller. A rubber covered drum would be best but knurled steel should work. That open drive causes a vibration that causes metal fatigue in the shaft and bearings. You could drill 1" holes in the drum with a stagered pattern if trapped sawdust is an issue, but ditch the flat bars.
Well this one was a replacement to the original, but not done by the original fabricator. The one we changed a couple months ago worked for 37 years🤷 and the break that got it, was really the bearings boogering the shaft
Im not a big fan of circular mills, but this one seems to do well. Nice setup.
I appreciate that!

I wish I lived closer for me this would be like a kid in a candy store👍
me too

@@overtime6696 I’ve milled trees in the afternoon, that were standing in the morning!
Great job😊😊👍👍
Thanks for letting us know what you're cutting.
You hustled those six logs out the door right smart like.

Me parecem madeira de primeira linha, muita qualidade! Quem morar por perto comprem! 👍👏
I've graded a lot of KD poplar, 4/4 up to 12/4 .
Do you mill to order or mill to maintain a stock profile?
We do everything!! Orders, stock, and satisfying grade lumber companies, RR Tie companies, and Cant companies
O like the fixing when needed, everything breaks and one time or another.
What are the big rectangular poplar cants used for?
Why were you not edging many of these boards?
Looks like you need a different design on that roller as it looks like there is vibration instability issue.

Why didn’t you edge all the boards
Good question! I never explained the term wavy board. They’re also called live edge. You leave one side un edged
Where are you
