I use the axle of the car.

[@sertifiednerd]

I like your mill. I own a professional saw mill and Ive sawed millions of board feet of lumber on band mills. My first mill was a cutting edge so I know a few things. rule 1 stop banging in wedges they don't do anything the blade will not pinch because of the wood fiber just ahead of the blade. 2 you need some down pressure on your blade after it comes away from the tire. set your guides about a fourth of an inch lower than your tires. You will get longer blade life and a better cut. make sure your blade is level with the rails your log sits on. Put a solid ruler on top of the blade and measure the front of the ruler and back height from your rails and make sure its even with the rails. Also make sure your car- edge that holds your motor is level with the rails. And of course make sure your rails are level. that will stop your blade from lifting in the cut. so your saw blade guides need to be adjustable as well because sawmills are constantly moving under all the apposing forces. I would also put a cage around the tires and blade for safety. Ive had them come off before. that would hurt and possibly wound you very severely.

[@catsupchutney]

+David Lee Regarding the cage; I agree. I understand real life we don't go nuts with covers and shields, but that band seemed a bit too out in the open. An arm is a twing for that thing.

[@davesilvia9711]

yep, i got a woodmizer lt30 and when the blade breaks watch out. that rig has nothing to stop a blade from going crazy.

[@yunustopanase1992]

Safety no 1 prioritas

[@niklar55]

Everyone knows that a bandsaw mill will cut wood. What they really would like to see is close up views of the construction details of the machine. 8 mins of watching a band saw, is little better than watching paint dry . A useful view, to start with, would be the rise and fall mechanism for adjusting the height of the blades, Next, another view that would be appreciated would be the drive mechanism(s) between the motor and the wheels..

[@metheone4]

Are you to dumb to take a look at his other videos? There are enough closeups and details shown .......!

[@niklar55]

I was commenting on THIS video, other video's are irrelevant.

[@FarmersDIY]

Hi, RC! The tiny diff. is junk parts of "Japanese mini Truck". The vehicle is very popular in Japan, it's so easy to get the axle parts in low costs. Almost $20 / axle !

[@jimthode]

As long as the blade is sharpened correctly there should be no need for wedges in the kerf. The blade is narrow enough that the blade will not drag at all, even if the kerf closes relatively close to the blade. I've cut hundreds of thousands of BF of lumber on a bandsaw mill and never used a wedge.

[@damagicmaker1]

At 7:18 to 7:26 i started to wonder if i was on the weird part of youtube AGAIN :P

[@petercallaghan9851]

+Otto Knowbetter LOL

[@dozer1642]

No, he is not having "relations" with his homemade sawmill, he is raising the blade to run it back to the starting point. Lol

[@GT-fb8nv]

+Otto Knowbetter I laughed until I had tears coming out of my eyes. Seriously, that is the funniest damn thing I have heard in a long long time. Too too funny. Good line Otto, you are the man. I wish I had a trophy for you. Oh shit!!!!!!

[@damagicmaker1]

Heehee,Thanks everyone, im really glad to have made you all laugh! :D (I had thought, to just put.. " Got wood?! " :P

[@garybiggs9010]

He was F-ing rewarding his machine for doing such a good job. Literally! Wonder if she has a name?

[@bobbofly]

I was thinking - What about a length of pipe between the log & the board, dragged along behind the saw by a chain attached to each end of the pipe? You'd lose a very small amount of ease of forward movement to parasitic drag, but I'm guessing it'd be barely noticeable, if at all. Plus, no more stopping to tap in a wedge. Just throwing a thought out there. Beautiful machine, BTW.

[@budblanke5810]

OSHA would love this rig! LOL

[@ricaldrich3424]

I love that saw!! How crazy does it get when you break a blade. If the log were on more of an incline would the machine feed it's self? Great Video!

[@ufodude1000]

you are aware that if the band comes off so does your head.

[@zing913945]

I like the machine. No doubt there are talented imaginative people all around us that can make something out of virtually anything. It's impossible to tell how fast the wheels are spinning. I Can' t tell from a video screen if the wood is very hard making it slow to cut or if the blade is maybe a little fast. Great job on your sawmill !

[@daveb5041]

I sat through all eight minutes of that was quite therapeutic, I was actually hoping to see the whole log turned into boards. Part 2?

[@M0untalnMan]

homemade and dangerous fuck. Great work creative and functional but be careful

[@robertbrockway6580]

+CalWillCO All saws are dangerous.

[@walkingweapon]

Nice build. I think your cuts would be straighter if you didn't pound the wedges so deep. A few shingles on each side just to keep the board level will help.

[@vinniecarter7183]

Looks like a fatality accident waiting to happen. The work area is obstructed by debris that the guy can trip over and fall into the machine, or the blade could fail and take a limb or his head off!

[@chrispeters4405]

i need to do something for wider logs on mine....too narrow. I want to build a second one facing the opposite direction with a third rail, good construction on yours, blade rides true....

[@MetaView7]

you should build a guard around the blade. In case the blade snaps it won't fly around and hurt people.

[@1956vern]

If you look in to making a froe to put your wedges in it will make it easier. Just my thought. Great job!

[@frankeinstein5564]

cool and stuff but looks like someday it will cut more than wood in half

[@doedenaf]

Frank Einstein i agree, it works well indeed, but to me it seems a bit flimsy and NOT sturdy and durabel? I would be a little scared working this one🙂🤘

[@jamesdavies7526]

I am getting the impression that you want to show how clever you are, but you don't want us to see how your mill is set up on the back side. So from the stand point of how the mill is driven , except for the "final" , how the mill is driven is anybody 's guess. Like watching paint dry!

[@robertbrockway6580]

+james davies All you have to do is watch the video. Not to good at figuring out mechanics are you?

[@lesbrown7009]

+james davies It's a Honda utility engine. Obviously.

[@_zzpza]

Very impressive work! Adding the wedged seems to slow the process down a lot though. Could you not add a static blade to the rear of your box frame that will lift the wood a little and stop it pinching the blade? You would have to make sure it enters the work ok at the start, but after that you wouldn't need to stop until you reach the end.

[@roberthorn3587]

Got any insite or tips for someone starting out to save me any headaches..., laugh my ass off! Real good video...I thank you for sharing. You are one of the only guys ...other then my uncle that uses the wedges on here.... Id think that it is common sense but most guys probley didn't cut much wood coming up...

[@Z71Ranger]

Sure is slow... Can't make any money working that slow...

[@southjerseysound7340]

Beats buying lumber and I'd bet he's making more with it then you'd think ;)

[@jcz232321]

Why did you drive the wedges so deeply into the gap?. As I see it, all your wanting to do, is keep the board from pinching the blade, correct? I would think this might be bad on the board, as to consistency. Maybe not.

[@murillorezende2934]

my blade rises when cutting. I work with not stretched blade.Can this be. wherein the tire pressure

[@FarmersDIY]

I make the air pressure of the tire around 2 standard atmosphere. I hold down top and bottom in bearing afterward.

[@niklar55]

+Murillo Rezende Standard car tyre are very low pressure, to give a soft ride. Van tyres, or campervan tyres are made to take pressures of 4-5 atmospheres, and would be more suitable for a bandsaw. Worn tyres, with minimal tread, would be even more suitable.

[@val.quibod.remonde6902]

one thing i'm concern is that the path you're walking with the machine is so much of a bother. No enough safety walking back and port. Also it cuts slow spending to much time.

[@paulmurphy612]

That saw head jiggles far too much. The saw head needs to be rigid; like a rock. I wouldn't want to be near that thing if it flies apart.

[@iancraig1951]

you are the first bloke I have seen banging in a wedge--I would do exactly the same--it stops pinching and reduces drag..A wooden wedge is easy to make and costs nothing. Everyone should be using them..

[@pierre-alexandregiasson9754]

Could you tell the kind of lubricant you use on that one? Great job! A little unsafe according to me (I would have added a safety cage) but it's still very nice and the ideas come very handy. Thanks!

[@maxsmith3894]

generaly I would say a bit more thought should be put in to the design, no safty guards, guides in the wrong position and sound under powered, exspecialy if wedges are needed to continue cutting.

[@mikelamothesr.8998]

Is there a reason your in-feed is so slow? Do you find the inflated tired change the set on the lower teeth causeing the saw blade to dip unexpectedly?

[@sambo5562]

Nice clean cuts . Great job.

[@JagdtygerII]

[@bamgomans]

[@nisw1918]

I like your guide set up a way I never though of on my sawmill.

[@homes24]

your cuts are wobbly and uneven because you keep wedging every so many feet

[@davecalvo1939]

It took nearly 6 minutes to make that one cut.....aint nobody got time for that.

[@lesbrown7009]

I guess if you have a couple of weeks to make a pile of lumber....

[@bigmacboy876]

Very crude design consider it a prototype, but job well done none the less, maybe a couple more blade guards and some method to help cool the saw blade while operating. For example oil drip valve mounted right above saw blade with a oil tank bolted on top of frame hose connected down to valve (gravity fed) basically cools saw and improves cutting ability assisting saw in final cut. Just as how a chain saw needs chain bar oil.

[@Nachodaddy082806]

Winston's Motors & Performance That's what that large tank on top was. He adjusted the valve before he made the cut.

[@hanvanderveeken904]

How do you prevent the bandsaw flipping of the tires?

[@hardinelders8457]

Wonderful setup !! How about a bit more set on the teeth so you don't need the wedges?

[@eddiebowens1919]

[@kevinbyrne4538]

Not bad for an improvised band saw. Only problem is that the saw cuts horizontally, so you must stop occasionally and insert a wedge in the kerf in order to keep the kerf open.

[@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity]

Not if your kerf is wide enough.

[@juanrosales3040]

Poca velocidad de corte , muy lento.

[@KLP99]

Instead of banging a wedge in the cut, which isn't a bad idea, how about getting a spray bottle with kerosene. When the blade starts to sound like it's going to bind up, give it a good squirt. The kerosene will dissolve the pitch from the blade and it'll be smooth sailing for a few feet more.

[@fakiirification]

+Karl Pearson Or maybe a second dripper system at a much lower flow rate to give the blade a drip of kerosene per second and just zip through it.

[@KLP99]

+fakiirification - Yeah, the drop would be better. That way, if you are busy, you don't miss a spray, plus better coverage of the blade without the wide-ish waste of more than necessary a sprayer might put on the blade. Good thought.

[@termmight123]

No no its OK, very brilliant machinery, I think Karl means if you shoot it with kerosine while the squirrel runs the treadmill you'll know when to ease off after the little gray tail ignites...
