Home made sawmill build part 3 milling power poles 

Thank you. I am still pulling it. But I have powered the raise and lower

Thank you. I hope to. I’m in the process of adding hydraulic to it now

Still may attempt to do that one day

If you get a chance, check out my build. Aaronymous unlimited.

The only reason I went with the feed system is because my original intention was the power it with the pto shaft off my tractor

I am considering doing that, especially if I ever have a need to cut really long beams. It can cut 24’ long now. If I did that I could get it up to almost 40’

I am in the process of that now. And the blade guide and to raise and lower it

I’m using an 1.5” wide .55 thick 158” long blade from woodmizer. The first one I had came off after about an hour of running because of blade guide issues and broke a few teeth off. After fixing the blade guide I put a new blade on it and it’s still cutting good after a little over 7 hours of sawing power line poles

I ended up cutting the useful parts off and scrapping the rest. Sorry about that

Thank you. Yeah It did get loose, caused by a bold that loosened up on the blade guide.

Thank you. The blade was loose caused by a bolt that came loose on the blade guide. And I have since put guards on it. You can see them in the third vid. And thanks for any info or ideas. I’m very new to sawmills
