Good on you!!get those rails true!what do you have for power now??BestD
Well, well, well. Lane, that's my brand. And I started with a bellsaw in 1980, should not have done that but had empty pockets. So I see the V rail. Is it a green mountain or 030? I don't think it is an 036 but it could be. Hand set? What do you have for dogs? Love to know all about it and where in N.Y.

Love to know all about it and where in N.Y.It does have a green mountain tag on track I believe. Yes hand set. And I do not have a pic of the dogs specifically. But they are cast and have “lane” on the side of them. And unfortunately I’m in the other side of the state from you. Western ny. But if you make it out this way PM me. Your more then welcome to come check out my setup and give pointers!
Looks good mr. I too am putting together a very similar lane mill, also started with an m14 6 years ago. Looks good, I wish I had videoed like you. I’m at the same stage. Next step for me is placing the caterpillar d4400. Can’t wait to see you setup in action. What was the power plant on the m14? And where did you buy this mill?
I fed pretty slow but I’m busting getting a hang of the friction drive. By stahl the blade do you mean that it actually stops rotating?
The wheel? You must mean the saw. Are you using the notches to saw?
Doug. I spent the dropping trees and loading them onto the mill. So I figured out a full stroke with the set handle cuts a 1” board so the setworks move 1-1/4” per full stroke. So after making an initial cut I would pull a “full stroke” then count the clicks back and pull forward an additional inch to cut 2x lumber. Is this the right method? I was using the scale still to double check. The majority of my boards came off correct tho. I meant to snag a picture of the setworks. Maybe next weekend
What are the center pieces of each dog for? They in/out with the handle onethe back and lock in to notches. Is it for similar to a toe board on a band mill? Used for holding the log square?
It appears the hydraulic pump was setup by the previous. It has a custom coupler to mate the mandrel and the pump shaft. It does seems to wobble a bit. I was working on plans to mount it on the frame a use a v belt. But I’m worried about the belt slipping. And yes the pump does run the live deck and log turner. They sold at auction separately from the mill and I’m very happy I picked those up as well. Doug, I’ve been keeping my eyes out for another dog to add. They seem a little hard to come by.
(Image hidden from quote, click to view.) Sorry for the crappy picture. But check out my new to me 60” head saw. Picked up from piper saw shop last week.
