Okay I’m John from Hud-Son Forest Equipment.
We’re going to go over a quick video today on how to align your bandwheel.
Remove the bolts on your bearings to make the bandwheel adjustment.
To start, get your wheel tracking properly.
So in this case we’re going to assume that this bad blade is running off the back side of the band wheel too far.
We know we always want it flush on our 36 mills and on our little mills.
So I was looking for the blade to be flush on the back side.
So right now we’re going to assume that the blade is going too far that way toward the operator.
We want to move the blade this way.
So we’re going to make the adjustment on this bearing.
Bring that blade this way.

INCREASE PROFITS WITH BIGGER LOGS AND WIDE SLABS

• Designed to cut large logs that conventional sawmills can’t handle

• Boasting 52″ Diameter logs and 20″ depth of cut 

• Many available options to fit your needs. 

 

The Oscar-52 Sawmill has a huge 52″ log capacity and can cut up to a 48″ wide board, making it perfect for all those large logs that most other mills cannot begin to process. The wide throat enables you to cut slabs for tabletops, counter tops, mantles and much much more. These products are extremely unique and have a greater value than lumber. Being able to cut custom items adds endless potential of large trees, stumps, burls, and more which otherwise could have been considered waste.  The Oscar 52 is easy to operate and maintain which leaves you more time to mill and sell your products. This mill is available with multiple engine and track options so that you can customize it to your needs.

HFE-36 HOMESTEADER SAWMILL

It measures board feet for saw logs, given specific diameter and length of log from 8 ft to 18 foot in length. This folding ruler is good up to 48″ diameter. To get an 8′ calculation use the 16′ scale and divide it by two. This was formulated around the year 1825. Doyle measures (Scribner’s considered too high) for smaller logs and Scribner measures (Doyle’s considered too high) for larger logs. Hud-Son and lumbermen believe that Doyle loss allows for saw kerf of the old circular saw blades. Hud-Son Portable sawmill owner’s average 15 to 25% more yield from this scale using narrow kerf band blades.
