New Circle Miller

[Tripp]

I want to say thanks to all the Forestry Forum members. I have been restoring a Foley Belsaw m-14 over the past few months. The information I have gained from from the site has been a great help. I have set the mill up on two 37 foot steel beams and is powered by a inline six Toyota Landcruiser engine. I tried to send pics but I believe the file sizes were too large.
Thanks again.
Tripp.

Seems like those Foley-Belsaws are getting more popular.

Don't give up on the picture thing, it aint as hard as it seems at first.  :P

Welcome Tripp,what are you using for a governor on the engine??Good to see rebirth of so many old handset mills.Frank .c,

[Tripp]

I am using a universal Audiovox cruise control to govern the engine. I can lock it in at the rpm needed, depending on what gear combo I am using, and it will keep the saw speed very constant. It uses vacuum to apply throttle under load. Tripp

Good conformation Tripp, always heard a cruse control would do the trick never tried it myself.Frank C.

How many bfg do you get?  Board Feet per Gallon.   May not be such a term.  I just know them old LC six's are kinda thirsty.    Bet it doesn't bog down much, they have alot of torque.

I can usually run about half a day on 5 gallons. Right now I am running a holley 2 barrel carb that is pretty worn out. I hope to replace it soon with a rebuilt Asin or a weber. Should help fuel consumption and performance.
