new circle miller pics

What a great thread!, Ive learned more about circle mills in the last 20 minutes than in the last five years. I really like your set up, kinda inspiring too. Keep up the good (hard) work.

I Feel like I gotta new mill. That governor sure works good.

I added a PTO cable at the sawyers box so I could throttle down the motor. That way It can be started easily and brought back to idle if necessary. A length of chain at the carb end lets the governor work without binding.

You could make some money just to make some setup of old belsaw sawmill anywhere in america. With a service truck and all. Do you will put an advise on the left side of the screen ?   

Really, you have done a great job, i will tell you that im a little bit jealous. If belsaw were doing some new m-14 sawmill, they could make some visits to your sawmill plant with some future buyers...   

Please to the moderator, never erase this topic, it will always help all the belsaw sawyers.
Imagine, all the people who have some rusty m14 in their land or barn, and the peoples who still running it, but unknow of us all because they dont go on the net. We never know which improvement or ideas they put on these simple tools.  I heard the bandsaw millers laughing....   It cost just 3000 $ for mine. And for the first time since 5 years, i bought 200 new tooth, 350.00 $. I had find the others one in close old sawmills . Just do my budget as a weekend sawmiller.

Thanks for all the pictures, it push the readers to put some of theirs own on the forum.

Great job, Tripp! Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? It's a real bonus when the plan works out as well as you'd hoped.

Can't imagine you've got much left to do the mill, so I guess it's on to the planer, huh?

A circular mill should never be considered complete,always look for ways to improve.If their are jobs around the mill you dislike modify and make it easier.Their is no better improvement than even a simple shed roof.The greatest work saver is an effective sawdust removal system,close on its heels is a slab handling setup.Visit with outher millers in your area I've learned something from every mill I've seen even if it was what not to do.Frank C.

Frank, oh how well said. What we can learn from others  i
see every day on this web site. Watching other mills run is
like a kid going to Disney land.
