I am surprised there is not a spring loaded "idler" pulley on that drive belt.
The idler pulley does several good things,, besides keeping the belt flap to a minimum,,,
(more wrap around the pulleys,, etc,,)

I've thought about adding one. It would lessen the intervals between belt tensioning. Wouldn't take much.

The acme threaded rods are the Linn stuff I like. I think a set is like $450.00

I don't see balancing drillings in the pully parts used as band wheels.
I don't see how to adjust the band wheels other than shimming pillow blocks on one side or loosening all bolts and having play in the holes.
Same for the adjustment of the roller guides not shall we say the industry norm.
 
I'm not familiar with industry norm, but camber adjustments are done where the raise/lower framework bolts to the vertical sliders.

As far as bearing shimming goes, there are spacers on the axles between the bearing races and the band wheels to locate wheels. I centered everything and aligned it on the bench with a straight edge then with a blade tensioned on it. It needed very little tweaking but we will see how it does at full speed in wood.

The roller guides are adjusted through their frame mounting bolts. The holes are oversized.
 
Some progress this evening. The crossmembers for the track are welded up. These will receive 2 drilled and tapped holes. One on either end of the top to bolt the bunks down to. There will be spacers to hold the bunks up off the crossmembers to allow space for the log holders to slide. Only the center 4 will have them.

I began assembling the carriage but the paint isn't as cured as I'd like it to be so it will cure atleast one more night.

Also, the kit came with split lock washers. These will all be getting replaced with knurled safety lock washers.

What are the dimensions on your carriage wheels? (Probably to big for a belsaw)
 
Terrific job - looks totally pro!
I just noticed your mill doesn't have the" batwing" wheel guard door openings.
Does this mean you have to completely remove the guards off to replace a blade etc?

I pull one pin and they slide off.

TRTermite, seems to be totally oblivious to the "Fact" that he could go directly to Linn Lumbers web site and ask the question there of the fine people of Linn Lumber. "You can not teach someone anything, You can only help them discover it from within"

I Thank You For The picture . I would think some of the M14 sawmill owners would appreciate this option for their carriage issues. Your thread / project is moving right along. NICE WELDS too
