I'd like to know if anyone has an idea of where I can source some new tracks for my mill to increase my cutting capacity.  I'm operating a Hud-Son Patriot sawmill and need at least another 12 feet of tracks.  This is what I'm currently cutting.

 



 

 
This is what I have obtained from the first log.

Here is some of the wood that I previously cut. Walnut, Sycamore and Beech.

Scottcraftmilll, welcome to the forum.
Looks like just angle iron to me? But you do need the correct thickness. Any metal fab shop should be able to make it for you.
I always say, make it long!!!

Contact hudson, they have piles of it premade in their shop. At least they did last time I was there.

Scott,
Nice!  Just a friendly FYI, this thread is really What your cutting Down.  You should have put this in the other thread, Whatcha Sawin' 2022 ??

Welcome to the Forestry Forum.
Must have some long logs in mind, for some timbers maybe?

The admins will take care of moving your thread if they see any reason for doing that.

Good job posting pics on your first posts.
Look forward to seeing more.
