Goals and Industry Standards
An Appropriate Scale GVCS worthy Sawmill with a modular design that integrates cleanly with GVCS equipment.
Download Sketchup model here.
- Mobile Dimension Sawmill forms a good benchmark for the Industry Standard to start with. As the design progresses, it is expected to diverge radically from the initial prototype. Separation of the power unit, hydraulic power, and automation are being explored for later designs.
Here is a video of the Modile Dimension Sawmill from Missouri:
