- Homemade sawmill walk-around. I watched every video I could find before I started building this one. I’m just putting this out there for people to see an example of how a complete novice can build a fully functioning sawmill. I try to describe each of the parts for better understanding.
Nice work Rob thanks for the post. Remember this; A grinder and paint makes you the welder you aint.
That’s great. I’ll remember that.
Looks great!!!
Good looking mill please do make yourself some guards before something goes wrong. I built my own sawmill and i know all the hardwork that is involve with it so well done !!
real nice. I bought a Turner 8 years ago but by building it yourself you will be much more able to maintain your sawmill so you builders are way ahead. you can always trade, sell, build up if you need to. Great job. Keep it up.
Thank you. I learned a lot.
Great video of your Mill. Nice setup.
Excelent build, I appreciate the more "simple" designs like your's. I've seen so many that just, in my opinion, over design the mills (6 way wheel alignment, step motors and threaded shafts for height adjustment, etc) Great job!
Thank you. I totally agree. When I was researching, I was looking for less complex designs. I made adjustments as I went. I have added some adjustability to my mill. The pulleys have a tendency to toe-in when the blade is tensioned. I was surprised how a tiny flex of the 1” steel drive shaft can result in throwing the blade off the pulleys.
Great build buddy. A lot of work to build that thing. No small task. I built one myself a few years ago and then we moved and I had to sell it but I'd love to build another one again... You've inspired me a little to build another. Thanks 😊
Good looking build! I built my own mill and it works well. I'm wanting to build a new one that is heavier so that it's more rigid , it's definitely a learning experience and I love running it. Congrats!
Impressive, I need to make one
i like it....gud idea
Very nice.
Looks good, but I bet you are spinning that blade a lot faster than needed at 1/2 to 3/4 Throttle
Nice job.
I misspoke in the description. The blade pulleys are 16” diameter.
Hi. Very inspiring video !! Is it a regular strap you put between the saw band and the pulley?
Scary.😳
Hi nice build great ideas ... how do you know if your blade is Tensioned right?
How think is the blade you’re using? .045?
Looks good you should check out my mill that I made from steel ended up costing me over $2000 for parts and steel
Good luck, I have found the carbide tooth blade to be worth it.
Great job. Your v groove blade pulleys question. What are you using for the rubber.
A v belt of same diameter
Where can buy the 2 wheels
Where did you get the pulleys???
What was the total cost of the build
I have about $1200 in steel. I was able to use some scrap iron for the rails. I bought the 12 hp engine new for $400. I probably have about $2200 in it. I bought many of the parts new because I didn’t have the time to search for used or scrap parts.
How many hp and rpm the motor is?
It’s a 14hp Kohler engine. It’s on a centrifugal clutch so speed is variable. I don’t even know what the range in rpm is. I only need half power most of the time.
ok ok mister
