Nelson many thanks for your input here! I am underway with the build of my mill. I have aquired a concrete bandsaw that had a 17" throat opening. I am planning to obtain a min of 36" and be able to saw 20 footers. A couple questions still keep coming up in my mind any insight would be greatly appreciated. First in my search is trying to find a standard band, over custom length. I see 167" bands but that seems to be the longest without special length. Are longer bands standard? Or will I be purchasing special order. Needing to figure this part out before I start my carriage. Many thanks Joel

Hello joel

If I was looking to build a sawmill with a 36" throat, I would buy plans from linn lumber $ 50 he got the bugs all worked out. If you are going to build your design, ask Gene 1605 advice, he has built many sawmills. I am still working on my first mill. Custom lenght blades are no big deal.

best of luck

Thanks gene,. I sent you a private message.

more drawings of Gene's mill

I have finished another drawing of Gene's mill, but my frame is 37" wide so measurements are a little different, but the basic construction is according to Gene's plans that he was so good to send me. I basically did the drawings to familiarize myself to the build, but Gene was good enough to allow them to be posted.

Jan the band speed is the same as the engine pulley speed, the v pulley diameter times 3.14 will give the band speed. just use a 3 1/2 or 4 in. pulley.

[parttime]

could be he's using an electric motor and looking for a way to slow down the 1750 rpms? different language makes thing tuff.

He is useing a 1740 rpm motor and wants the same band speed as a 3600 rpm engine with a 4 in pulley, I dont understand what 58 cm wheel he is talking about.

 

[parttime]

I thought he meant the size of the tire that the band rides on, 58cm would be about 23" tire.

wants to know what size pulley to put on the motor. Maybe?

yes it`s the size of my wheels 58cm and i would like to know the size of my pulley to get 3600 rpm with a engine that runs 1740 rpm that will be nice thanks jan (denmark)

and something else a wood planer to a chainsaw is that made ?. And can i put it on a stihl 026 ?. and where can i buy it ?.

Jan, a 8 in. pulley should be very close, dont know the metric size.

i just found a motor a 10 hp with 2900 rpm, one of my work figured out pulley should be 25 cm to reach 22 m/sek and here are some new pictures of my last work on the mill jan.
