Gosh I never knew I was interested in old sawmills till I came across your content. It is wonderful that you explained some of the machinery as I know NOTHING about this topic but can't seem to stop watching. I have a 27" saw blade on my living room wall that a local gentleman give to me several years ago that he used for an advertising sign for his sharpening business. Thanks for the great work!

glad its up and running. Looking forward to this with mine.

Great sawmill setup

Thanks for the comments. I'll post another video soon, as this Frick is back up and operational now.

I love your setup. I have a home made mill that I need to setup a 54" blade 671 170 hp at 1750rpm

Saw milling is a fun pastime , one idea i'd like to pass on is getting an older farm tractor , doesn't even need good tires but something you can park in one spot and block it up off the ground then hook up the pto shaft . this is what i did several years ago and it work great

That thing is amazing! Had some great engineers at that company there I guess. Thanks for showing us all that one! 👍

Thanks Smitty! Yeah, once he finishes setting it up, he will build a shed around it. I'll get more video, once he starts using it in production.

Nice - I'll be watching for it. 👍

The sawdust chain looks tight and comes up off the ground real quick. Theres multi holes on the adjustment mechanism and dowels go in the holes for 1" or 2" etc

Boy, I would love to work with him for a while, the older gentleman. The knowledge to be gained would be priceless. The guy doing the filming, and talking is a bit of a tyro.

Now where can I buy a circular saw for this shaft?

I sawed 35 years on a 00 Detroit 671 250 crossties a day that is a 00 frick

Wow!

It is a 4-71 you can tell by the inspection covers on the side and the general size of the engine. A 53 would have a hard time with an "0" In fact you gonna wish you had a 6-71.
