You my friend are a genius, particularly they way you turned the wood drum like a lathe !

Geez! So far that looks incredible and I can’t wait to jump to parts two and three.

Undoubtedly, ingenious design, accurately and professionally made, above all, efficient and very useful tool . Thanks

This guy is not messing around. I was looking for circular saw guides and I ended up here. A whole apparatus for guiding a chainsaw. Ha. Good stuff.

You are a genius, so simple and do-able thanks for sharing

A friend of mine and I built a Trebuchet and we squared the timbers with his Alaskan Mill. He had a chainsaw that was old and reliable but the muffler was blown out. It got the job done but my ear defenders had a lot of work to do. This thing will be a lot quieter!!

Hard to beat that feeling when you test a prototype for the first time

Perfect i was thinking about doing something with a 42" bar on my escavator in order to trim my lelands trees thanks for your sharing !

Great idea and work, kudos, inspired me to finish what I started a few years back. The welds would be stronger and batter if you had a nozzle on that mig gun (unless you’re using flux core wire).

I love what you did here bro👍👍👍

Damn you need an award for this one 🔥🏆🥇🏆🥇🔥🧨🧨🧨👍👍👍

Bom trabalho parabens. Sou fã desta arte. Prático de vez em quando também.

Great Job!

There is a Nobel Prize for do-it-yourselfery on it's way to you. Congratulations. Well done

Классная идея 👍👍👍

Mitch, this is outstanding! Good job

Привет! Спасибо большое за хорошую работу!👍🌲

Very good idea. Like.

You are talented. Good job.

Молодец парень! Супер.

Awesome 👌

Good job 👍

Now that folks , is some great Design , Engineering and Fabrication all wrapped up into one package. Great Job !!

Oh damn my mans a genius

Nice!

great build so far, thank you! How did you calculate feet per minute for the chain, or motor RPMs required to know the chain was moving fast enough? did you have data from other electric or gas chainsaws? also, how is that motor breakered at the panel? double 20 amp breakers, or higher? thank you very much!

Dzięki za info 💪😁

I actually thought about doing the same thing but with a chainsaw mill attachment and a 3/4 HP electric motor. Cause these larger saws are pretty high but you can get a decent length bar for under a hundred.

Thanks, already safe all you're video's on your build. Do you have drawing of the structure, from South Africa.

Great Job

Pretty clever. Been wanting to engineer a DC powered sawmill with a motor somewhere between a 37 hp forklift and a 5 hp golf cart. Logosol does *sell* a three-phase motor ready to go that goes 8 kilowatts, or 20 hp. The next step in invention I would guess is making a fold-out photovoltaic trailer housing for such a mill.

Это великолепно, а то всё пильную ленту да ленту ставят. Очень понравилась твоя идея.

Unbelievable. This is awesome

I love it!!!!!

Genius

Love it!

Wiiih keren , cerdas.

Brilliant.

The saw mill has arrived

"...and that's how I got one foot shorter!" :) I like this a lot, thanks for sharing it.

Wow 👍

👍👍👍

Super, m8.. This IS just whar i needed to see with my own eyes =) Thank you for doing this vid on your truly amazing sawmill!

nice job

Looking at going on a similar journey myself, thank you so much for showing us the details. One point! I don’t think your machine has high enough RPM! The logosol electric mill (e5) uses a 2800rpm motor with a large 24t sprocket. Just done the maths and that leads to 21m/s speed which is about right for a chainsaw. Assuming you're using a 3/8" pitch chain and 2800rpm motor with 7t sprocket, the chain speed is just 6.2m/s.

Спасибо.........Все понятно и доступно а то показывают как пилит

I just came across your electric chainsaw mill build. Awesome job, thanks for sharing with all of us. I have a procut chainsaw mill that I built a few years ago and I always wondered if I could build an electric motor for it instead of the chainsaw. Now I know that it can be done. Thanks man. If you ever see this post I’d like to know what size motor you used.

Hmmmm. I know a bloke who's got something like that. Similar colour scheme. Nice work. I never got around to making the slabber attachment on mine.

impressive 👍

LOL when he said making the chainsaw he really meant it eh?? amazing video

no doubt man

Semplice, pratico, forse un tantino troppo leggero ma tutto si può migliorare un bel 👍

This is so awesome. What size hardwood log can this handle before it really bogs down

3,49 ТЕХНИКА БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ!!! Можно пальцев лишится!

Nice

How many rotations a minute does the motor have? I can only get ones with 1400. Is that any good? Normal chainsaws seem to have more.

Great concept, imo isolate failure points such as using wood for motor spindles..take the wood you created and at least sand cast out aluminum or steel with the wooden ones you created. I do it often with plastic parts from tóols I purchase. A few hours could save a person thousands. Anyways, kudos! Welll done.

I know this is old, but have you found that a clutch isn't necessary or is the drum also a clutch?

Great work, I have plans to build one to work on fire wood and recovery of rejected logs at a sawmill, the logs are given to me for free in West Africa Ghana for 3 years every 3 months 6 x 40ft containers. "SHEARING IS CARING" Thanks for shearing,

NICE Thanks

Very good

Eu gostei vou copiar a ideia parabens

Pretty darn good idea you have there

ok, i want one ... and a truck and trailer to haul logs and land to stack wood

how heavy is the motor? any issue with it moving during cutting?

That's pretty impressive. Now I have to see how it all works out.

You think this would work with a 72 inch bar?

А если шину сделать 5-10 метров и секвойю распускать можно!!!

Hi First, thank you so much for sharing this inspiring build with us. I'm planning to build something similar this summer and hope you may answer a few questions: What rpm is your motor running at and do you wish it was on a pulley to increase the rpm on the sprocket?

How many RPMs is the motor running at

What brand and model welder are you using? Cheers!

Hallo, I would like to ask you. What kind of flux core did you use? It weld very well and there is almost no splash and small balls during welding. Thank you very much.

how thick is the cut ?

Hi, interesting project, like the low tech solutions, just wondering about the chain speed, obviously the motor speed is slower than a chainsaw engine, is this a problem? cheers

a quelle vitesse tourne le moteur

Круто

Mate what camera was used for this? Loving the video!

Odlično

Nice work. I’m interested in how you chose your motor. Is 5hp the right amount of power for Aussie hardwoods. Look forward to more videos.

Wow, don't have to listen to a gas powered chainsaw, sweeeeet!!!

Is it a water pump or hydraulic motor?

LOOKS !! LIKE !! A ! SEIZURE !! HERE !! AND !! UNSAFE !! TOO !!

hi what is the engine technical data you are using. ?

Šaunuolis!

Good but what about chain lubrication??

One consideration not addressed by you video is that chainsaws require lubrication of the bar and chain or they overheat causing the chain and bar undue wear. I have used chainsaws most my life and if you skip filling the bar oiler you end up with a chain and bar that will not cut straight even if carefully and accurately sharpened. In addition your chain will not hold an edge as the heat will soften the heat treated saw teeth. I would suggest an oil tank, and line to feed into the bar oiler hole with a cylinder and plunger assembly of some sort that you can use to like the bar and chain.

Awesome. Do you have the drawing, please.

So miotch after use 18mos later what should be changed made better spocket sizes/quality. Motor rpm, Hp bearings transport feed dust chips vibration???

How many revolutions is the engine

How do it get oil?

Не увидел как осуществляется смазка цепи.

Single phase 5hp motor? Doesn't the current become quite large? All motors with 4hp and above i have seen are 3 phase

Would a gas powered large cc chain saw mounted to your frame. For off grid living.

Would a 3/4hp washing machine motor work? My brain says no cuz my 395 has like 7something HP I believe, but id rather not stress out the big baby ya know.

The reason no one uses chainsaws for proper mills is if you have an in situ mill you sure as hell can use a band therefore instead of wasting a quarter inch of wood per cut and scratching the shit out of the surfaces you get a nice clean 2-5mm cut with brushed surfaces.

С такими ценами на древесину, скоро все так пилить будем...

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🇦🇷👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

the motor is on high or low

Boa noite amigo eu sou brasileiro moro no Brasil.queria muito fazer uma serra fita de bancada usando corrente de motosserra.mas minha pergunta é qual potência do motor que você está usando nessa serra

How do you lubricate chain?
