The staggered bend locations, in your handle, will make it very rigid. Much like the handle on some older chain and hand held cement cutting saws that have tube bar handles.

I like the bedframe handle idea, old bedframes like that are hard to find in my neck of the woods. You must live near a junk-yard with endless supply of junk, you always seem to find stuff. But what kind of junk-yard has a 3 phase switch laying around........

@DonnDIY

Yes another confused 😕 one here, usually follow right along with Donn, but just can not wrap head around how this will be able to cut a log into boards @ this point 🤔, watched many saw mill builds over years and the head placement seems like it's 90° off or something but guess for Donn to pull a rabbit 🐇 out of his hat 🎩, and make us feel foolish for asking 😅

Are planning on adding riving knives to the blade assembly to minimize the chance of pinching the blade during a cut?

suggest you don't use the star delta switch as they are tricky to wire, I would use a soft starter instead and set the current limit to about the full load current on your motors nameplate that way you have a nice start and motor protection as well.

@DonnDIY

8 ай бұрын

Soft starters are quite expensive. No worries, I sort of have an idea how to wire the star/delta switch. I'll try this first. If that fails I'll reconsider soft starter.😀

@obi1kahnobee549

8 ай бұрын

Be careful you finish up with a dead short if you get it wrong and you will only have one shot as it will destroy the switch suggest you investigate the connection procedure and draw it out and bell out the switch to make sure it is correct. A basic soft starter is affordable.@@DonnDIY

To be honest, I didn't even notice one thing: the main pivot is not at blade center. Going to be a bit of fiddling every cut when switching axis?

@DonnDIY

7 ай бұрын

The pivot is at blade center. 👍 No fiddling required.

Dumb question but wouldn't the blade need to swing left or right instead of forward or back to do slit cut the length to do dimensional lumber? Or is this just the side to side carriage and you still have to to the length carriage? (Never mind just realized after I typed the comment that this is the side to side carriage)

@DonnDIY

8 ай бұрын

The beam will be 6m/18ft instead of the current 1m/3ft mockup beam.👍

I think, that this blade needs to be supported with something on both sides. Those naked screws will fail if directly on hard, shaky and one side loaded steel. It's like one bolt supporting cutting forces at all times, and only torque is supplied equally from all of them

@DonnDIY

8 ай бұрын

Kinda defeats the purpose of a swingblade then.

I am wondering if the horizontal blade guard is going to hit both the boards you are cutting and the tree that you are cutting them from. I would expect you need to have nothing protruding below or beside the blade.

@spdy3926

8 ай бұрын

He mentioned in the video making it removable to allow for exactly that. He's got you covered.

@DonnDIY

8 ай бұрын

It is tight fit right now, something like 6mm / 1/4". If the horizontal blade guard starts to get caught on the log I'll just cut away a strip from the bottom edge.👍

Don... Is there any way to lock the blade to either vertical or horizontal other than the weight of the cutting head ? I wonder about the blade trying to "climb" out of the cut and now with the weight somewhat counter balanced by the hydraulics I can`t help but think it might want to...

@DonnDIY

8 ай бұрын

No need, it'll dig in the log and keep itself locked in. Also the gas strut is super stiff and stable.

Do you have plans for sale or could you help us out learning the ratio of the blade pivot shaft thing

@DonnDIY

Blade pivot is equal to the radius of the blade you are using.👍

Am I missing something? Shouldn't the blade gaurds be mounted 90 deg. around?

@DonnDIY

They are, one is horizontal, the other one is vertical.

For the last couple of videos of this build Im asking my self...: Is it just me, or is the pivot turned the wrong way? If the log will be oriented paralell to the slides on the flor...?

@DonnDIY

8 ай бұрын

Good question! The slides are for the width and thickness adjustment of the boards. The beam that the carriage is on (1m/3ft long in the video for mockup reasons, min. 6m/18ft long in real life) is longitudinal to the log.

A very robust build. I know how a standard bandsaw on rails works, but I'm confused with this design as it will only cut up to half of the blade circumference as it's mounted on a spindle drive shaft. Donn, your pop-up rules are in Estonian, not English

@DonnDIY

8 ай бұрын

It has to be simple and robust, this is my goal to make and keep it simple. It does cut only half the blade diameter. Mine will cut only 220mm board (or 440mm when double cutting). But it's a swingblade, so it is able to cut dimensional lumber out of whatever diameter log. It doesn't produce slabs, it doesn't have to cut through the whole log all the time. It cuts dimensional lumber in one pass.
