Home made band mill

[rfalk]

plans available?

Awesome job....are there, or will there be, plans available? I am no mechanic, so would probably need detailed plans to build such a machine, but I can weld and would like to give such a design a try some day. Thanks, bob

OOPS, now I see the little ball bearings.
I'm thinking you'll have to watch for sawdust buildup on the track?
Maybe a plastic scraper to run ahead of them, ala Woodmizer?
Are there any drawings available?

The roller bearing are less than 1/2" wide and cut throught he resin build up quite well, when I cut timbers like pine etc, I simply squirt them with an oil can using kerosine, this softens things up and last for a few hours and repeat.
