Think I saw stainless ones at the store and that’s what I figured I’d use. Otherwise I have a passlode butane finishing nailer also
Went with the 9.5 hp.
Looks a lot like what we had to do when setting my old mill. Looks good!
The mill track is just sitting there. We will probably tie the two sides together, and lower the rails a couple of inches before we bolt it down.
I sure didn't like it sitting right on the ground. Rolling the log sucked, and moving the lumber sucked too. This should be more better. Debating now on building a platform to stage logs on.
I like the deck of my mill at about 32" off the ground which is pretty good compromise height wise for me.
From day one I thought working on the ground would suck so I made the trailer for the mill at a hight to make removing lumber and rolling logs comfortable.
The newer kohler command pros like on the mills are foreign built I think but my 14 sure runs nice and starts easy. I would maybe give a check on the drive side for belt alignment. Mine wore the one side of the belt pretty fast. You can also look to find belts at a parts store. I can buy a set for mine for about 30$ and woodland mills wanted about 125$ a set. Just standard cogged v-belts but I actually tried some non cogged ones that were on clearance and only cost 12$ for the set. They worked fine too
As I recall, the very first thing I sawed with the mill was some planks for a walkway to go back and forth on, which made it nice and user friendly.
why are you not running it ? slacker
I was taking the fughin pictures. DUH
What sawdust....
With all the sawdust, shavings and chips, I wonder what a pellet maker would cost. Just thinking out loud...
Idk....but I currently heat with pellets, so maybe I outta find out...
