Bandsaw build

[BigZ La]

Thinking about building a bandsaw mill. I have access to over 100 feet of 2"x 2" tubing. From the pics it looks to be 1/8 wall thickness. Would this be heavy enough to build a four post frame to house a diesel engine. I have most everything needed except pulleys and wheels. Thanks for any help Jeff

What kind of HP are you thinking?

I have two diesel engines one is  around 25 hp and the other is 50 hp.

1/8" wall 2 x 2 tubing is lighter than what most use but that does not mean it can not be used.  I can not recommend it for the entire build but would try to use it for low stress parts.

Since you have that much available I would double them up. Weld two together and have a 2x4 .
