The big carrage mill I have for sale runs a 52 inch blade and the engine is 200hp.  It will move the carrage up and back for a 24' log in about a minute or so.

I may be wrong but I think Buzz's motor was in the 300hp range and runs a 56" blade.  Not sure on the carriage size.

As soon as I get my old hard drive installed, I will have my picture files (maybe I need a pity party to raise money since it crashed and all) and I will post pictures of my Meadows...which is a real sawmill with a big circular blade, the way God intended sawmills to be ;D

Hi MikeP and all....
My mill uses abouta gallon of fuel per hour more or less , the old budda engine on it is very fuel efficient, it was built around 1938 and has enough power to zip through a 24 inch log  something like a foot a second....so the widder cut doesnt hurt to much unless it is really nice walnut or cherry etc. the performance is worth a littlle dust ;)

And its bigger... :laugh: :) :laugh:

Now Buzz, I was told numbers like 1 foot a second are impossible...do you have a billion board feet of experience to back that up with? :D :D :D I need a better power unit for mine.....be nice to find a big Buda on propane.

I still haven't been down to the computer guy to get my hard drive back.....he may want me to pay him something like $20 or so ;D How about a fund drive? ::)

Yes Buzz....real sawmills have big blades and make a lot of noise....not like those wimpy bandmills.
