Cure for my Onan.

Almost there.

You'll be sawing in no time.

Chuck, what specs are you using for belt tension? I set mine at 12lbs at 1/2" deflecion. Seems like maybe a little to much belt bounce on the bottom side.

Jeff, I'm setting mine at 7/16" at 10 lb.

The new belt is longer than the original, so I think it "could" be a little tighter!

My drive belt is running quite smoothly, hardly any flop!

The bounce/flop will probably change when you put a load (sawing) on it.

I sawed a cedar log last night, and it sawed fine. I never even thought about watching the belts when I was sawing. DOH!

Way to go Jeff! ;)

Man!! You have good eyes. I didn't even see that. It's a generic program for fake newspapers. 🤓🤓

Jeff, 7/16" at 14lbs. You'll burn up the belt with less and your blade will wander.

It sure is good to have my sawmill running again and running well! Tammy and I used it to saw out a 20 foot extension to our Polebarn privacy fence. The cedar cut like butter with the rusted blade that had been on the mill since last year.

it really did feel good to be sawing again. 8)
