Hello,
I am planning to build a chainsaw mill to cut my own lumber for a post and beam building. I like the reviews and reputation of the DIY ProCut mill plans (http://www.procutportablesawmills.com/) Has anybody used these plans?
This project has a LIMITED budget, so I am considering using an electric motor (available motor, 3ph available on site) instead of an expensive 3120 or 090 or similar.
Have any of you seen this done? If so, I am curious to see how a drive sprocket is mounted to the motor shaft.
I would prefer to have a gas saw, but don't have the money to lay out for a good powerful head. Do any of you know a good place to go for used powerheads/have one they want to sell?
This forum looks great! Thanks for all your input, I have learned a lot in just a few hours.
