Don't stand there

It's not as much a manual labor but man that is slow gonna going

Darn thing runs good once it gets warmed up

You don't want anymore I'll take it bro

Screaming freedom!

Good machine

My dad would love this video. He worked in a saw mill for 30 years

Looks like you got her dialed in 👍

I remember when this stuff was almost worthless. Im assuming there's a market for it now?

Deff not a clean cut the far end is way thicker than the near

Wormy wood looks so cool

Y'all sharpen that blade when it needs it, or just replace it? I bet it's expensive!?🤔

Why do all bird sounds on peoples videos always sound so " Fake " . Its weird as obviously people aren't going around adding fake bird calls to videos yet nearly every video on TH-cam with birds in the background sound like its been added via AI . .

Youre too much!!!

Would scare the fuck out of me after some of the shit I saw in high school woodshop😭😂😂

Should,a used gas,is rag!!!!

hi there well done , lots of work , best to all john

Nice video

Theres my favorite sawmill guy. Still have all your phalanges?

That looks like a big nut on the sawblade . We had a blade and someone made a flywheel out of steel plate . That was 40 years ago . I bet no one ever finished it .

So if it smokes, it means that it has been used a few times before.

Hopefully your channel will remain the Rusty Mill and not become the Bloody Mill!! hopefully you are working on SOME safety issues.

Good job

Some facts to know: As a rule each tooth requires 3-4 Horse power. For an example a 42 tooth blade would require 126 HP minimum to feed it properly. We can have a big enough engine but if the pulley reduction is not correct, it can cause one to run the engine at a lower speed producing less HP because the blade is set/hammered to run at a specific speed. Each tooth needs to take a 0.050 inch bite. The saw should be making saw chips and not saw dust. Saw dust will produce friction and drag on the saw. It also points to slow carriage feed rate or an underpowered situation. If power and feed rates are correct we could expect the carriage to travel 2.1 inches for every 1 revolution of the saw blade. 0.50 inches x 42 teeth = 2.1 inches of carriage travel. That is approximately 9 secs to cut thru a 10 ft log. If we find we are making saw dust and not saw chips because we have either to many teeth or not enough engine HP. An easily solution is to knock back every other tooth so that they are not cutting. My blades teeth needed changing and I only replaced every other tooth with a new tooth achieving the same result which was reducing the power needed by the blade, or doubling my HP depending on how you look at it. I seems strange to think that less saw teeth is actually more. It is for an under powered mill.

3/8 cable is more than enough. Use one length of cable not two. The threaded rod takes up the slack. Attach one end of the cable to the carriage's fixed cable attachment point. Then run the cable to the idler pulley at the end of the mill and then come over the top of the cable drum and make 4 or 5 wraps around the drum with the cable exiting the drum from the top to the other end of the mill running the cable thru the idler and then to the adjusting threaded bolt pulling as much slack as you can out of the cable when you clamp it to the bolt. Then adjust till the cable is taught by not tight tight. The wraps around the cable drum have a clamping effect and the cable will not slip. The cable will run on the drum just it does now. Before you tighten the cable you may want to push the carriage by hand to see how the cable feeds and leaves the cable drum. It will walk a little side to side as it feeds and you may have to move the wrap over to one side or other so that the cable does not walk off. You are going to love it when you get it setup correctly.

You have come a long way with your mill! Nice to see. It would work better if you would change the way you have the carriage cable attached on the drum. The cable ends should be attached to the Carriage. Take the middle of your cable length and make about 4 wraps around the drum. Then place a turn buckle at one of the cable ends that attach to the carriage. This will allow you to take up slack in the cable and not have all that back and forth jerking of the carriage.

Give her all the way. Put some ketchup on that can

hi there i just did that last week

How much do I give it? “ALL OF IT!”

good sawing john

hi there thing i could use a shot from time to time , john

hi there the thought of the cable coming off and catching the blade scares the crap out of me ,john

Beautiful upload. Thanks for makin!

got a hand held blower myself great little adition

Very cool worked logging for 20 years in Alberta Canada

Block heater?

Nice, can you tell me about your power unit? What engine??

I have an HD36. I have added more log rests and bunks. I don't have the log turner or the hydraulic clamp. But I have the log loader and the adjustable bunks. I've been running northern blades and since I had a handful of used blades I decided to sharpen them and check the set. Well, on their blades in my opinion the set is awful. I'm tempted to sit down and reset a new blade right out of the box. It's a little muddy where I have my mill set up otherwise I'm interested in trying to cut with the blades that I have sharpened and set. I haven't been able to use them yet. Otherwise I love my Mill.

hi there good job nice sawing john

What he said ✊

For the algorithm ✊

Did you get the bugs worked out for a good cut?

She makes plenty of power, even with half the factory compression!

Osha?

You'd probably be better off using a motor to turn the saw and a generator on the back of that cat. Would use less fuel at least and no belts which can slip or wear out

Deer love the sawdust especially in the winter keeps them warm we always saw deer leaving our mill.

They make a small heater that goes in the dipstick tube to heat the oil it will help on cold mornings

Looks like chestnut oak

I love the sound of the old cat motors

Nice mill is it a frick or homemade
