    Hello after a long time.

    robig77 these rollers must be 3-5mm below the lower edge of the belt driving pulleys.

    If anyone would be interested, I will resell all parts of the construction of the band sawmill that have already started at prices lower than market prices.
    In the evening I will add photos.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the construction of a horizontal band sawmill powered by a 4kW belt drive. The author shares their progress on building the sawmill with their father, detailing the design and components used, including hydraulic saw tensioning and drive wheels sourced from Allegro. Participants provide feedback on safety features, such as covers to prevent the cutting band from slipping off, and suggest improvements like adding cooling systems and measuring scales. Concerns are raised about the structural integrity of the sawmill, particularly regarding the head's stiffness and the potential for misalignment during operation. Various methods for adjusting the saw's feed and tension are discussed, along with the importance of using appropriate materials and components to ensure effective operation. The conversation also touches on the use of alternative drive systems and the challenges of cutting larger logs.
