Can i ask why you never used it? And, if you want to get off of yours?I believe you are talking about a Ripsaw bandsaw mill. I have one I have never used. I am not sure they are made anymore as they were very expensive compared to a traditional chain saw mill

I have a huge amount of tools and equipment that I have never used nor will ever use. Some of which is more about the story of getting it or the story of the former owner. The ripsaw has both and I will get into it later if you are interested. Right now I need to go inspect some weldsCan i ask why you never used it? And, if you want to get off of yours?
I would think this would be a more efficient use of power over a chain that was never designed to rip.
Well I would say if it is rolling at that speed you are doing quite well. If I ever get mine going I hope it cuts that goodI have not clocked it but would say that advertised speed was conservative . My ripsaw was built in woburn mass back in 1996 .
Bill remember that when tightening the band tension to make sure that it is not so tight as to rob saw horse power (the band wheels are only 10" diameter) . Also a flim of bar & chain oil on the band teeth will help .Well I would say if it is rolling at that speed you are doing quite well. If I ever get mine going I hope it cuts that good
