Thank you for the video we are changing teeth for the first time today !!

I headsaw for 30 years I always pulled the shank out of the holder and cleaned it and put oil and then put my standall teeth back in then set them if you don't your teeth could work up loose and lined the teeth if you don't it will saw rough great video guys

Thanks good info

Thanks for the video. Picked up an old Belsaw myself and the teeth are pretty worn out. Bought a tool and now I know how to use it.

So, one of the things I enjoy most about ALL of your videos... You use technology (Google, KZread, etc.), along with the "old timers" to gain knowledge... Regardless of the subject! It gives newbies, like myself, the confidence to step out there and give "it" a try! Thanks a ton!

Always such good information. Enjoy your channel so much. Thank you..

Yes! Thank you for the vid! Explains a lot.

I can not wait to see that thing cut wood! That's awesome!

I was a Head Filer who took care of 52” and 44” Headsaws like this, and 72-108” Deck Saws, 38’x12” Double Cut Bandsaws and 56’x12” Sliver tooth Band Headsaws for 43 years. There’s an actual wrench you can use for taking those teeth out… the wrench is specifically for the size shank in the saw, so when ordering you’d have to know the number of the shank, 2.5, 3, 4.5 and the style which would be a letter designated style. B, D… for easier removal I’d also recommend removing the tooth having it pointed up at you with something on the opposite side to keep the saw from spinning as you’re reefing on the wrench, and you may also find that dipping the shank and bit in oil rather than diesel will make inserting them back in a bit easier as well.

BTW, you should still be able to get Shanks Bits and the corresponding wrench from Simonds, (Portland Ore)or BH Payne (back east someplace)

great video very interesting

Love your channel! Happy Memorial Day to you and the family!

Thanks for the information! Picking up a belsaw next weekend and will need this info.

Every time I use a Allen wrench they usually brake i use a small bolt it last allot longer but I also used this stuff called cut through it i spray on the blades it help get rid of all the build up then before I switch a new tooth and shank we also call it a moon I put on antisieze so the next time when I have to change teeth it won't be as tough and over night I'll spray it with some more cut through and let it soak over night it keeps it humming real nice

Fascinating.

Try turning your tooth wrench around will roll the shank in easier and my dad used to prfer an old tine from a hay rake instead of an allen wrench

I ran a headrig for many years in a sawmill. Changing bits can be a real pain. I had to change mine once or twice a week. They were a #2 1/2 style. Using an old saw like that is more fun to use than a bandsaw, in my opinion.

wow, once or twice a week? why so often? that would get expensive.

It was. We would use different brands of bits and saws. We always went back to Simonds. They were twice as much, but the quality made up for it. We used the headrig for big and metals logs. Those for the most part didn't get run through a debarker. I'm sure you have seen what bark, metal, and different things you find in logs do to the saw.

Thanks now I know !!

would love to have a sawmill Myself. have done a lot of looking around the net. just can't afford one right now. will be interesting to watch yall get yours set up.

Yeah they can be expensive. most are around 3-5k used.

That was really useful. I'm setting up an old Stevens of Carlisle sawmill shortly. I don't know where to get teeth from in Scotland yet though.

Barrwood, Nice video, so you can also use a 2n half tool for teeth, I'm running a Graham's of Perth bench, powered by a Ford a series, could any one help I'm looking for a wrench for number 3 teeth, in the UK

I imagine you could tac weld a Alan wrench of appropriate size to tooth tool to always know it's there when time to maintenance your blade.

How are the shanks held into the body? Can you disassemble completely and show the bare body? What keeps them from falling out

Do have have a good source fir new teeth and shanks? I lost one today and am very new to my M14 mill that I picked up a few months ago. Thank you

I just watched your video and I'm a bit late ( 3 years lol) I've watched several of your other videos this one must have slipped by me. Maybe you have seen some of my videos at ( Fancy Hill Sawmill) and perhaps we can keep these old mills running and get plenty of building projects complete. Hopefully you can find the correct tool for changing teeth good luck and best wishes with the new old mill

where did you purchase the teeth and shank

@An American Homestead, Do you have a video of you sharpening the teeth?

awesome shirt!

Can i ask the obvious question? Why use the allen wrench when the pin is hanging off the side of the wrench? Stronger ? Doesn't roll ? Didnt see it Lol ? Anyway, Love the vid! Thanks!

ours was solid tooth, swedge and file, no fun

What size is that saw blade?

Where did you get the bits

You can find those bits and shanks and ARSAW.COM.

Hi Zach, I don't know if you have the manual for your saw mill, but I just found it online. I'm looking to buy one like yours. Here's the site: www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=1050 or www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=1050 This second site for the same place is where the book is. It;s a16 page manual, plus by clicking onto the Publication box with a live link for Belsaw Machinery Co., it wi give you some history about your sawmill. Hope this helps as you said you couldn't find anything. Keep up the great work on your homestead. Ed Ruiz

Why can't the teeth be sharpened while on the saw?

@Anamericanhomestead

8 жыл бұрын

They can be. The problem was that I was missing a tooth. If I put in a new tooth with the rest being old teeth, it will scar the wood even if I sharpen the old ones. The teeth need to all be the same.

How much are the inserts each? That’s a pile of $
