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. The detachable, hydraulic PTO motor from LifeTrac will be the power source. We know of no other swingblades driven by hydraulics - let us know if you know of any.
Parts
- Lucas blades, $185
