Design Rationale
Past work on band sawmill is here.
Present work (note: present development involves powering the swingblade with a detachable power take-off hydraulic motor from LifeTrac):
Hydraulic Power Variant
Interestingly, with LifeTrac, we can power a hydraulically-driven variant of this device. This will eliminate the engine and 90 degree gear requirements, thereby simplifying the machine greatly. We know of no other swingblades driven by hydraulics - let us know if you know of any.
Parts
- Lucas blades, $185
