Nice pics, and doesn't look too cold under that roof....but imagine it can be...

Corley5,

I cut mostly oaks and other hardwood. I does pretty good as long as you don't get carried away. If the V6 ever dies I'm going for a V8 as a replacement.

Sprucegum,

If I get too cold while I'm cutting, I just roll down the windows and turn the blower motor on high.

Hello all,

After running a friends small manual mill, and being unemployed (retired in September) after working out the time I agreed to after selling my small engine company, I decided to go out on a limb and try a sawmilling business. I bought this Gilbert Champion mill last week (new)

Hey ! Me too ! I have the same, with a 20 HP. Good luck in your new business !

Just thought I would do my first post here, I am the proud owner of a lumbermate 2000. Bought it used with a 13 horse honda, found a used 20 horse (honda also) and made the swap. Sure like it better for the hardwoods, nothing wrong with the 13 just a little better with more ponies.

welcome cjg

i do not post much, but these guys here have the answers you need, just ask or do a search and you will find it, I have. I cannot say how many time all i had to do was search the forum.

i just added a TK 1220 bandsaw to my ProCut, and build a kiln camber this winter, i have to order the dryer, after get the clams together, maybe sell some green lumber. Now i have to figure out how to make saw dust with the TK.

Figured I'd post what I've got so we could get to know each other a little better.
I have a shop made band mill, I built it about 10 or so years ago.
19" sheaves for wheel's
14'4" band's
1600 cc Volkswagon engine
16'8" length of cut
Will cut up to 34" diameter (with great effort on the sawyer's part)

How about a Lane 00 52" Circular mill with Babit bearings and a 210 horse Cummings diesel. The curf is only .25 to .375 depending on the day.

My father in-law bought it ~30Years ago

We've cut a lot of wood but it's time to come into the 21st century. Anyone want to buy it?

Dave Shepard · « **Reply #258 on:** April 01, 2008, 03:42:25 am »

Welcome to the Forum!

Where are you located, and what Cummins motor is running the mill?

Dave

kgb12158 · « **Reply #259 on:** April 01, 2008, 07:20:06 am »

I'm located in Delanson NY ~14 miles west of Sechenectady.

The diesel is direct drive. I use a throttle cable to rev up the motor as needed.

We spoke at Jack's workshop. I'm still looking for a good used Hydraulic Woodmizer. LT40HG

How's the WIDE board buisness?
