May 4, 2015 · When you run a circle mill for a farm show with members tractors you just open the throttle and saw with the speed you got . The best I can get out of the 80 HP steam tractor is about 525 . NO I am not going to re hammer the saw .

Mar 25, 2023 · A little light wire wheel work (my whisker machine) and then bouncing the power planer here and there off of the high spots for the circle saw look will produce a pretty good looking board. From this point, some colouration, light sanding, more colouration, etc. then sealing will yield the old time look a lot of people want.

Apr 11, 2025 · I think your pattern is very good. In fact, it is my sawing hardwoods book. I suggest that you keep C1 and C2 as one piece and saw wide quartersawn pieces. If the C-piece needs more stability, you can saw a flat face on the rounded part first. You can then rip these wide lumber pieces to eliminate the pith or other defects that would lower the ...

Aug 27, 2024 · When a circle saw is tensioned correctly and running at the speed for which it was tensioned, the lead set properly, your bits sharp, your shanks in good condition and your feed rate appropriate for the power available, it does not care what side is log, and what side is slab.

Apr 29, 2004 · Jeff asked for a shot of the circle-saw mill in the woods behind the house. Here it is: An "American No. !" made around 1940. It is a 56 inch, not a 4 ft. as I had thought. John Ross is the owner & sawyer. It was originally run by John's father with a huge steam tractor, still operating & on the premises. This photo was taken on 4/28/04.

Feb 3, 2015 · If I were into making a mill, home version, I would do some you tube searching, bout anything is possible, I will say, I too thought a buzz blade was for cross cuts, so the topic title is a bit misleading to me, you did mention circular saw blade so I reckon this is what you are starting with, I say grab some iron, torches, a welder and get ready for some head scratching ;D

Nov 28, 2017 · This question is geared towards the Mobile Dimension saw users and also stationary circle mill guys too. I have a mobile dimension saw. It uses a #3 insert tooth for all blades. Its my belief that MD is the only MFGer left using this tooth. There is only ONE source for teeth in a #3 (simonds).
