why not something like a skillsaw instead of a short life angle grinder? Is it adjusted up and down independently from the blade height? So, you have to set it each cut? if it is, why not mount it to the bridge that caries the blade?
I do agree it should travel with the saw blade. The angle works great and you can put a wider cuter on it. As I said in previous comment I recommend using a 9" angle grinder as it has more power and is much more robust.
It looks awesome and is well thought out, but instead of having to adjust it manually for every cut, why not have it mounted directly to the sawhead? That way you could make infinite cuts without having to adjust each time
You are absolutely correct, my system did not lend itself to connecting direct without a lot of linkage issues. I have thought about designing a constant follower but it has not made it up the priority list. Keeping the logs clean is the best debarker.
The arms on mine are around 18", it really depends on the mill and where they will connect to the carriage. The debarker should never swing past the center point even on a small log.
Thanks.i just need a starting point.i,am building one to put it on my little oscar 18 mill.i planned on putting a stop on it so it can only swing over just so far.
@@twobears1224 I have had some power issues with the 4 inch grinder. It works but I am going to upgrade to a 7 inch and would recommend using the more powerful grinder. The problem comes if a large knot sticks out the 4 inch can stall.
I checked out your video I like your design, very well thought out. I recommend using a 7or 9 inch angle grinder. I have already destroyed a 4 inch the angle gears are not heavy enough.
I want a coffee pot on my sawmill. That would be awesome. Ha. Awesome video. Thank you.
Seems easy enough, would you a single cup like a Keurig or an old fashion peculator? Thanks,
@@Haystack461 ha good one. Nice job on your mill by the way. It’s a beaut.
Good design!!!
I think Frank owes me a thousand dollars, too. Tell him to send a set of cutters. And a Bridgeport to put them in.

How long are the arm tubes?? Nice design

Thanks for filling me in on the power issue..i,ll keep it in mind..is there videos of the actual sawmill build??
This is good, I May just built one for my own diy sawmill. Thanks for sharing .... If You wish to look at my sawmill it is Also on utube . Sgt rod
