Readers of the East Texas Farm & Ranch News will know that I love sawmills.
I have one and am trying to build another; kind of a hybrid between a band sawmill and an old circular mill with the traveling carriage.
Work is progressing, slowly but surely. I recently procured the bandwheels off of eBay. They should be in next week sometime. That will go a long way.
I am still working out the details for the carriage motor. I haven't completely decided if I am going to use a hydraulic motor, or rig up a hydraulic transaxle.
The hydraulic motor will take a hydraulic pump, the motor, a reservoir and a valve. The hydraulic transaxle will take a belt pulley.
It seems simple, but I'm not through studying it yet. If anybody has any recommendations, feel free to let me know.
