I really appreciate that you have made such a good machine for a homemade mill. Well done bro . A good knowledge to share . I think you are so dedicated to it. Thanks very much for all the videos.
What I would do is mount an on off switch up where your hand is when you're pushing it. So you dont have to let go at the end and risk losing a leg. Just hold it with one hand and flip the switch off and then let go after chain completely stops
I actually thought about doing the same thing but with a chainsaw mill attachment and a 3/4 HP electric motor. Cause these larger saws are pretty high but you can get a decent length bar for under a hundred.
Would a 3/4hp washing machine motor work? My brain says no cuz my 395 has like 7something HP I believe, but id rather not stress out the big baby ya know.
I thought the same thing. I thought I looked up the HP to CC conversation calculator and I thought it would be enough HP. Apparently not, 3/4 HP only converts to 11.22 CC.
I just came across your electric chainsaw mill build. Awesome job, thanks for sharing with all of us. I have a procut chainsaw mill that I built a few years ago and I always wondered if I could build an electric motor for it instead of the chainsaw. Now I know that it can be done. Thanks man. If you ever see this post I’d like to know what size motor you used.
Did you accedently cut the wrong pants into shorts and only had white duct tape to make em hole again. Awesome rig. I bought a 18 inch craftsman chain saw on sale for 30 bucks. Plug in. Straight rips. Been free handing 15 inch logs into slabs. Spend 20 minutes with the hand plan and they are perfect.
pressure washed them, than poured some peroxide solution into them and let it sit for 30min, no smell at all. peroxide is the key to getting everything very clean.
I soaked the horns in soapy water for a day. Then I washed and brushed the insides. I then left them in 50% peroxide for a full day. However, when I smelled them very, very closely, I could still detect a faint scent. Since the buyer did not buy the product to smell it very closely, does the fact that the smell is very light mean that we have solved the odor problem, or should I assume that we have not solved the odor problem. Also, thank you very much for taking the time to respond. @@mtarrant3
Did I miss something? How did you install the metal hour markers on the front? (ps - it's no fun trying to remove glass or metal particles from your feet)
I got a 8mm bolt about 25mm long drilled a 2.5mm hole down the centre then a hole from the side to the centre. Drilled a hole in my bar so that it delivers the oil to the chain inside the bar…I don’t like the fact that you use waste oil as it’s the viscosity of the oil is what makes your bar and chain last longer but each to their own opinion. Nice job on the tank.
Yes, this is right, for me I just stuck a magnet on a nut and the hose goes through it so I can adjust the hose when I change the bar. I also saw that your chain is at 35 deg angle
