Title: Like a kid on Christmas Eve
Post by: teed on May 08, 2015, 03:23:57 PM
Today I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve. Got a big box of upgrades to my little sawmill.

A new water-cooled electric saw instead of a chainsaw, and including electric feeder for the saw.

That is a really slick looking saw.  I would imagine it will be much more pleasant to run than the 2-cycle version.  We look forward to your videos. :)

Yes it is a bit different and what I have seen, it works great. In Sweden we notice motors bit different so I'm not really sure but I think you'd call this a 40amp 220v 3 phase. In Sweden it is 3 phase 400v 5000w motor.

A picture of where you can see the control panel for the electrical feed.
Shall see if I have time to make a movie tomorrow.
