An Overview Of My Foley Belsaw M14 Circular Sawmill With Ford Engine

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here is an overview of my newly purchased Foley Belsaw M14 circular sawmill with hydraulic controls.
I sold my 44ft long manually operated Foley Belsaw a while back and used some of the money to pay bills and some of it to buy the materials for our fence. Then I saved half of the money for a new sawmill. I wanted a bandsaw mill but they are all sold out until the end of summer due to the lumber shortage and high prices.
I have many projects that need lumber so I could not wait around any longer. When I found this sawmill for the exact amount of money that I had on hand, I felt that it was meant to be and got it.
This is a 30 ft long Foley Belsaw M14 model which has been heavily modified to run on hydraulics. This is a more modern version of the M14 though with a more complex carriage mechanism.
The previous owner put a hydraulic log lifter on the mill which allows me to easily lift logs onto the mill with the press of a button. He also put air dogs on which allows me to lift and raise the dogs (log clamps) with the push of a button. And he set up the carriage to be push button adjustable. The only thing that is still manual is the carriage drive, which is all belt controlled.
There is an old Ford straight 6 engine with transmission to power it all. There is an air compressor for the dogs and a hydraulic pump for the rest of the system.
This is a really awesome sawmill.

    I watched a video of a guy by the name of Casey Creamer, he is a saw doctor that specializes in those big circular saws on how to hammer the blade, and other things such as the tension of the blade etc. He mentioned that if the blade is veering one way or the other in the cut, it is due to improper sharpening of the blade or the blade is getting hot from friction ie: rusty blade, incorrect rpm of blade or forcing of the blade into the cut. His KZread site is The Northern Logger.

    Looks like a great machine for cutting wood. I am about to get a 12x24 foot garage and turn it into a lab for me. Electrical, plywood on all walls with insulation and lighting and of course wood prices had to climb sky-high before I have bought any. I think I would prefer adding some belt guards over certain places. Never know about loose clothing, etc. Sounds like you did real good on that sale of the other mill. : )

    I like the new saw mill...it doesn't tie your tractor up, leaves it free for other chores like skidding logs to the mill without having to disconnect and reconnect the tractor....great job on the sell of the old saw mill and on finding this replacement, you get this one figured out you'll be in business, this new one is light years ahead of what you had before, not that your old one was a bad mill, this one is just setup for ease of use and time saving....as for all the additional pulleys and such, its not really all that complicated or failure points, those are all sitting on bearings, so keep it greased and you'll never have problems...maybe a belt replacement occasionally but for that kind of mill having belts is a nice thing, they'll slip if something binds up, where the chains on the old mill would break, or break other things, and you have less maintenance to do on this new mill, grease all those bearings up, and probably do so before each run of the mill and it'll serve you well for decades.

    That governor looks like the same type of governor that is used to control any Lincoln Welding generator such as the Lincoln SA 200 to 400 series generators. Most of those governors worked by vacuum that controlled the throttle as soon as the vacuum dropped. Check for cracked rubber hoses or for a vacuum hose that may have vibrated off while in transit to your house

    Not sure what part he is stuck at. The carriage rolls over the tracks. You need a way to move the carriage. The old mills used a pulley system with cables to move it back and forth. A drive pulley was moved forward or backward to put tension on either the forward or reverse drive belts to move the carriage.

  • @thecollectoronthecorner7061

    Old video. However your end pulleys for your feed cable are fixed. They should be where they float. A fixed end pulley tends to pull the carrage out of alighnment.

    There's people out there that say I'm no good, 'cause I don't believe the things that I should, And when the final conflict comes, I'll be so sorry I did wrong, And hope and pray that our lord god will think I'm good. Countries manufacture bombs and guns To kill your brother for something that he hasn't even done. Smog is ruining my lungs, but they aren't sorry they've done wrong, They hide behind their lies that they're helping everyone. In the end the good will go to heaven up above, The bad will perish in the depths of hell. How can hell be any worse when life alone is such a curse? F*ck Armageddon, this is hell We're living in the denouement of the battle's gripping awe, So what's the use of being good to satisfy them all? How could hell be any worse? Life alone is such a curse! F*ck Armageddon, this is hell
