thanks for this video, it gave me memories of when I was a teen working in a small mill for my Dads buddy, we cut up timber that mainly was for a pallet co. The carriage looked very simular, the belt that took away the sawed timbers, about the only difference was the power unit was a 110-120 Hp 4-71 Detroit. The big blade was any where from 50-54". I'm thankful for my good physical condition today for the hard work I put in during the summer months. Thanks again! Bryan
The old mill I run at the Threshing Show in Freeport Illinois doesn't have anything to stop the headblocks or the carriage. Had one of my off bearers pull the set works the wrong way one time when trying to move it back to stack the slabs for edging. Ran the headblock right into the side of the blade. Luckily it was inside the radius of the teeth and just rubbed on the blade, but it still made for some excitement trying to get the engine shut down.
Prob a dumb question, but is there a 'stop' on the sliding log table? In lots of these circular saw vids they only seem to be stopped by operator action. I image what would happen if the spinning blade impact the steel table...
We sometimes purposely run the carriage off the end of the track if we have an extra long log on the deck and need to line it up with the carriage or have a log we want move from one set of head blocks to another. Feed tha carriage off the end of the track, roll the log back off onto the deck, then move the carriage forward back onto the track and roll thelog back on again. Have to be careful doing that though so the wheels line up again.
I have not seen same model saw´s special stop for sliding table. They just stop itself or operator stop by hand. Stop can also made using reverse direction, but it is not keeping it on place, just stopping. If using too much reverse, then of course moving another direction.
@Mueiwark Well? I don't know? I never tried to advance it into the sawblade? I can tell you there were no stopps on the carriage....There are now! The first time I sawed with this saw I backed the carriage right off the tracks. There is a crazy off bearer that hangs around all the area sawmills and he was trying to tell me something stupid! I thought it was something important and was trying to understand what he was saying....I noticed what was happening when the spectaters started shouting!
well, It is called an oil engine on the builders plate..But it is also a 2 stroke engine and it burns diesel fuel..So ...It runs on diesel fuel and has a power stroke every 2 cycles of the piston...But whatever..
he's wrong a two stroke needs 1 complete revolution of the crankshaft 1 up 1 down hence a two stroke a four stroke needs two revolutions revolution 1, 1 suck 2squeeze revolution 2, 3 bang 4 blow
That engine has a good governor. I hear it change sound, but it holds its speed really well. I'm impressed for an engine that old.
i love the way that engine gets louder as you feed the wood through the saw

This sort of thing fascinates me... Now I want to see the original process of making the parts for this mill!
Nice sawmill, you can almost smell the wood!

@MaxwellForce I'm glad you enjoyed it!
love to see the engine.
I worked in a mill similar to this 30+ yrs ago. Hemlock is what we cut, 12x12 14x14 and 16x16 as long as the tree allowed. Gosh that was heavy.
I love the video ! How many horse power is the engine
Interesting forward and reverse belt system on it, for positioning!
Never showed the engine?
can you tell me the diesel engine spesification ?
thank you

how can it? the log overhangs the table and it is on rails parallel to the blade
I really enjoy this video. Thanks for the upload:-)
I'm curious how that control handle works. Ad the reverse stroke reminds me of my dads antique typewriter...click-slide-*ding*.=)
That log has some very pretty grain patterns in it. Too bad they are located at the edges of the boards.

There would be some sparks, quite a loud noise, and it would quickly be no longer sharp. A trip to the saw doctors shop would follow soon after!
ever have a kickback?
let's see that engine!

Is the wood poplar? Have you tried hardwoods?

This is the sawmill previously owned by Scarlett O'Hara?
What a compression stroke 💪👌👌
Beat's the hell out of doing it by hand!
Great video. Downloaded.
Damn that thing can cut

THATS SO COOL, HOME DEPOT CANT DO THAT LOL
wow that was cool
Like it old Style!
hp? rpm?
About 50 to 75 if I remember, 250 to 350 rpm as well if I recall.
shit son you aint seen nothin' Hold my beer, watch this.
I'm wondering,.....will that engine meet Tier 4 tests ???? ( ha ha ha )
shit, I need one of these next to my pool. Could run the cooling pump water into it, turn it into a hot tub maybe.
This is part 2. Part 1 of this video shows the engine being started.
thats great
All Volenteers...
are all them volunteers, or wat?...yhey on da payroll?...
he's wrong a two stroke needs 1 complete revolution of the crankshaft 1 up 1 down hence a two stroke
a four stroke needs two revolutions revolution 1,
1 suck 2squeeze
revolution 2,
3 bang 4 blow
Good-description! Simple, to the point, and no flowery-terms!
so would I!!
That engine needs new piston rings.
that is one slow son of a bitch.
Sawing too slow
Bet the health and safety police wouldn’t like all those exposed belts 🧐😏😆
or their wife.
lol
