Homemade sawmill in the household

Currently, a wide range of materials are available for sale, which are of good quality. Despite this, the consumer wants him to have a self-made sawmill. This interest, undoubtedly, has a basis.

For the manufacture of the sawmill, parts that can be purchased at a lower price (in comparison with the purchase of the finished product) will be required. In addition, it is not always necessary that the sawmill that the producers offer.

Therefore, the ideal option in the household is a self-made sawmill. The main part of it is the base, which can be made of wood, made of thick boards, or a frame welded from elements of metal long products. It can be corners, small channels or beams. The wooden base is easier to make, but for working in the open area, preference should be given to the metal frame, because the wood can quickly rot in case of fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

The belt self-made sawmill contains four main nodes:

- saw drive;

- the saw itself with the main mechanism, which requires adjustment of the thickness of the board;

- the device responsible for the movement of the assembly that makes the sawing;

- system for fastening logs.

Of great interest is a self-made sawmill from a chainsaw. Chainsaw is a product that is the most versatile device. No other tool can compete with him on the possibilities of use. Installing various attachments, you can get the most amazing device. The self-made sawmill with the use of chainsaw as the main woodworking unit is no exception.

At the heart of the site is a powerful, compact and unpretentious engine, running on gasoline. Here, a carburettor of a membrane type is installed, with an air-tight fuel supply, which allows the chainsaw to operate in a wide variety of positions. From breakages and overloads protects the centrifugal clutch.

The main parts of the sawmill with the chainsaw are:

- a base having a wooden or metal frame;

- lifting brackets;

- brackets with a manual winch;

- sawing unit, made with a chainsaw.

If you need to perform longitudinal sawing, then it is best to use a disk sawmill.

The self-made disc saw is a disk (steel or duralumin, 3 mm thick, up to 500 mm in diameter). The number of teeth of the disc is from 2-3 or more. An important condition for the teeth is good steel. The disk rotates the motor. The capacity for the home sawmill is 2 kW. The next node of the sawmill is the guide. All this is mounted on the frame. A feature of the sawmill is compliance with safety measures. The very high speed of rotation of the disk with sharp teeth represents a danger. But with careful and attentive work on the home sawmill, you can saw a lot of good quality logs.
