M14 Foley belsaw

[jakethesnake]

just bought this thing. Haven’t even rebuilt the frame. Curious if anyone knows anything about them. It’s a circular saw mill. Pretty good size. The blade extends 16” above the table. The whole thing is intact. I cut it down with a chainsaw to move it. All the lumber is rotted so needs to be replaced. Just curious about the whole thing.

There are a lot of Foley items I have looked at that intrigued me over the yrs. If you want to include a pic it would be helpful.

The trolley wheels under the carriage are NLA (to my knowledge) They can be made but keeping a low profile keeps things interesting. For your safety you should address a few practices and guards.

UTUBE has some to view for ideas.

I haven’t been able to work on this thing yet. Sorry for no updates.

A Belsaw M14 just came up for sale near me that is complete with a 48" insert tooth blade and 540 PTO drive. The guy is asking $2800....does that sound reasonable for one of these?

Given that you will need a tractor to power it, sounds a bit high to me.

Any thoughts on what a fair price would be? As for tractors, I have several options.

Without seeing it I would be in the $2000 range, but then again, I am frugal.
