Thanks a lot Fishpharmer.

Guys, the next questions are:

How many log dogs do i need? Of what type?

I have two small hydraulic rams, which could do the job may be.

Log turner? I'd be keen on a chain one. That might wait, and i will use a cant hook and the crane.

Laser? I'd be real keen on a laser line. But on the cheap ;D

How do i set it up? I was thinking railways ties. Builders friends tell me concrete piers. But i don't know how all of that will evolve. I might be buying a little bit of land just next to mine, to square it off.  So the saw will move i think.

Any advice?

The motor on it for the moment is 22kw. My electricity supply only 15kw. I wonder if i could start it up with the 15kw. I have a brand new 11kw motor that i could retrofit and cut slow.


Thanks a lot guys.

You might get away with useing a pony motor for startup.

For the moment, i'm searching ads for a frequency drive, which could limit the power.


Thanks.

Great score on that mill. That thing is a beast. All I can tell you is if you get a log that will max that thing out you are going to need some strong hyd. for turning and clamping. If that mill can cut 40' long you might want to consider putting two turners and two clamps. I know that with the 40' logs I cut there is so many times that having the extra turner and clamp is the only way that I can turn the logs.
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head Pinheiro planer, 30" double surface Cantek planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.

Wow! My guess is he got a great deal on it.............after they were done with it in the Sahara   ;D
Good with the rough stuff and rough with the good stuff

Satamax

Customsawyer, yep that thing will max out at 12m, so that's 40 feet pretty much. May be i have a bit of leaway. I'm getting cranky, i want to make it run :D  My latest idea on log dogs, something like log tongs pulled by an hydraulic ram. That would be prety easy for centering. One fixed, the other one moveable to accomodate short or long logs.   Ok, two turners. I'll see what i can find in the way of chains and the like. Thanks a lot.

Not to take this off topic. I figured from the picture with the writing on the road that this was on the Tour de France route. Beautiful country.

Yep, ...... tour de france! Because of all the passes around, we get, from june, to end of september, all the idiots cyclists, who think they own the road. No lights, no reflectors, no yellow jacket. Toll last year, three deaths just in the Lautaret pass!

Don't start me on road cycling, or i'll rant forever  ;D

Just out of interest, 8,000ft around here puts you up in the snow and clouds on top of this hill.  :D

3500ft is about as high as you can drive...

Well, Ianab, that's because it's the end of the winter where you live. :D

Here's what it looks like in october where i live.




In the winter, i work for the chairlift company.  So i see plenty of snow.

The closest pass near me is open all winter and  is at 6751ft above sea level. ;D

So is that 250 euros plus VAT? Pretty expensive.

Yep, it is. But they last a fair bit. You're counting may be 12 sharpenings between re stelliting. And 10 times that before the band is dead.

Progress as of today!

All the piers are poured, i mean i've filled 8 more barrels, that we need to bury with a friend.

But i am gutted. I've noticed there's one part missing. The pulley for raising the head. It's nothing. I have a lathe and i know how to use it. But if i had known better, i would have checked that. Pulley should be on the arbor bellow, on the last pic.  :(

Your piers should be stout enough. Won't be any give for sure. Now where is your log pile?
