Hello, its been awhile,
I am beginning to build a bandsaw mill. I am pushing for a 36" cut and have alot of my parts from previous chain sawmills ( Pillow blocks, rollers, ect.) I have alot of 1/4 steel square bar. But BAND WHEELS are killing me. $400-$700???? What have you guys who have made them used and WHERE can I order them. I understand that I need at least an 18" wheel. Also shaft size recommendations?
OR
Do tires and axels really work? Seems like alot of people use them.
Im am 23 and just finished college so im trying to get the best quality for a lower budget but I want to build a SOLID mill for milling hardwoods.
Let me know if I need to include any other specs.
Thanks.
