Homemade Sawmill Edger
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- On a zero budget, I needed an edger to compliment my band saw mill. So from a pile of scrap steel, pulleys, gears, and a 12 HP gas engine I built one.. Here is the very first test of my creation. Still work to do with some guards and paint - but it works better than hoped for.
Looks like what I'm trying to build to complement my homemade mill. It would be great if you'd do a close up walk through or show both sides.
Jack, I regret not providing blueprints - but I literally designed as I went - you can see all of the pics of the build in process here: facebook.com/darryl.esau.3/media_set?set=a.10155399556367894.1073741838.627817893&type=3
I will be following this for ideas on my future build. Thanks for sharing
will post more when it is totally finished. look me up on facebook and look at my album "edger build" to see lots of pics during the build - may give you some ideas
Good build
hi there darn good job john
nice work to you from Nasonworth
holy cow.. i want one!!!
Very nice!! Thanks
Looks awesome!! (It’s Greg btw)
Looks great. What arbor did you use to hold the blade to the shaft?
It is a 5/8 arbor, so the blades (standard table saw blades), do not need to be customized (this is the standard hole size for blades). The stationary blade is bolted to collars (does require drilling 3 holes in standard blade) - and locked to arbor. The sliding blade, also using collars bolted, but it uses the key in the arbor to spin with the arbor, but allow lateral movement.. This is by far the most difficult part of the build.. allowing and controlling lateral movement - but still firmly attached to spin with the arbor. I suggest looking closely at that part of the photo album on my FB page.

How much you charge to build me one
Presently I am looking for a design/manufacturing company to improve my design and mass produce - I am also working on an improvement in design - where the saw head can be removed and a planer head module snapped in. So it will be a 2 in 1 machine tailored to the small sawmill owners. I will let you know if I am successful.
@@darrylesau4462 were you successful in getting these professionally drawn up ?
Hey could you contact me. I would like to see the blueprint and material list.
Steven, my only regret in my building this, is that I designed it in my head, so I have no plans, or material lists - the best I can offer is to review the pix in my link supplied in my comment below, for details on how I built this and what materials I used.
Good build
