The pulleys are like 3 1/2" and 5 1/2". But I think on the 3 1/2" the belt sits lower and might be for a 5/8" belt. I am using a 1/2" belt. I grind the chain for ripping cutting of the top plate of alternating cutters and grinding the full cutters to 0 degrees and the half cutters at 20 degrees
I had the oil going into a fitting to oil the chain from inside from gravity. It kept plugging so I installed a pump and was still testing it when I sold it.
nice mill, but I bet you'll be tearing it apart to build a bandsaw , I'm now tearing my mill like yours apart to build a bandsaw mill, they do a good job , kerf is way to big
I took that into account when I built it. But from my estimates getting one extra board is not worth the trouble of learning to sharpen band saw blades and getting the equipment to do it. But I might build another in with a band in the future.
I was thinking about adding a bandsaw to this one and having the option to use either. From what I keep seeing I don't like the idea of having to send the bands in to get sharpened. Did you end up building a Bandsaw mill?
Good job building that rig, or sawmill chainsaw I am thinking hard on making me one like that. Am sure that works good so I may start me a blue print how to do build it. Well thanks for showing it and have y’all a good one and see ya next time see ya by.
If you look at my other video called "Homemade Chainsaw Mill build and testing Slideshow" at about 1:25 you can see a bolt I used that I drilled a hole through. I drilled a hole in the bar that would miss the drive links but still be open to the slot. I just used gravity to allow oil to run through this. It ended up plugging too easily so I just let oil drip onto the chain. That works poorly also. I have since bought a pump on Ebay that I plan on installing as soon as I get a chance. I will post another video when I do to show if it helped.
@@BonifiedWingnut I have a bercomac snow blower that hooks up to a john deere riding lawn tractor. The snowblower uses the same belt arrangement to connect to the tractor PTO.
Tenho vontade de construir um assim ...vou acompanhar seu projeto!!!
Eu não tenho mais isso. Eu vendi.
Why did you cut your friend in half? Did he take your last beer out of the fridge while you were milling lumber?
Haven't drank in 12 years. He got left by an ex. He used to be Santa.
Nice looking mill bonified. What size are the pulleys you're using? Also, are you using a ripping chain?

Would you be willing to sell me the dimensions/plans for this mill? You have the nicest homemade mill I have seen, very nice.
Brian Teed I will see what I can come up with.
half of the log will turn to sawdust lol
Hey, does the oil from the hose drip onto the chain or it goes into the sprocket?

How do you keep the bar oiled?

How many teeth on the chain sprocket?
I am pretty sure it is a standard 7 tooth. 8 at the most but I dont think so.
whats the rmp of the engine
Probably 3600 rpms
What's the width of the kerf?
A little over 3/8"
Je crois que la chaine ne tourne pas assez vite faudrait multiplier le diametre des poulies.
Same belt set up as my 1966 Corvair lol... Looks a little lose though. Nice mill
needs a tensioner pulley.
There is a body cut into leaning against the garage door !
It is foam
See, Corvair had the right idea with the cooling fan. That is a very smooth finish for a chain saw . Good job , not such a wingnut after all lol
Actually I got the idea for the belt setup from an Exmark mower.
The Wingnut is because I fly rc planes. It will get an improved oiler as soon as I get time and I agree it is pretty smooth for a chainsaw.

I am pretty sure I got the idea from a zero turn mower.
what hp engine are you using?
farmallcubtractor 16 hp 420 cc
I actually think its about 13hp
