My dad had a Wisconsin engine on a bid irrigation pump when I was a kid on our tobacco farm. I still remember that thing roaring through the night til it finally ran out of gas. His didn’t have electric start but a had crank. I was 8-10 years old then and am 62 now. Long ago memories. Thanks for sharing. Well done.

I will just make one by myself. That engine is the coolest thing:):). Have also 4 cylinder Diesel, most probably I will install it. Good luck with your saw mill looks perfect, if you cut a lot, think about a hydraulic or winch system to flip and clamp

That's one sweet old engine, lots of torque and plenty of top end personally I think it is an ideal powerplant for this application. This Wisconsin had plenty of giddy-up and go and you even backed off the rpm's, what a gem and it sounded great to boot. It's the first time I've come across your channel, I'm happy I did, it made my day. I've seen a lot of homemade and professional mills built with inadequate power in order to turn those wheels at an appropriate speed thus a slow sawing mill. Thanks for the video !!

Great machine you have there, I built mine 5 years ago and also used the acme thread system with a dc motor to run it. I believe that to be way better than the cable and hand winch design. I used a 15 hp gas engine and I thought mine cut fast but yours is very fast. your engine is not overkill at all bud its perfect. The only thing missing from your machine in my opinion is a good coat of paint. Thanks for sharing and happy sawing.

If you have it on "backwards" you can use a wedge to elevate the small end by half the difference of the diameter of the large end minus the diameter of the small end. This will put the pith in a reasonably levrl plane, giving straighter grain in the sawn boards.

I have seen/run a hundred and one saw mills. They all have one thing in common, too small a engine. This mill has power to spare and I like it. Sure being on camera and then just about the worst log you could pick to show off and of course it fought you most the way. With a little fine tuning, this mill is better designed than most. A little squirt of oil or diesel on the log dogging might make smother, a remote trigger for the drill to run the mill up and down so it eye level mostly, like I said not there so can't give a fair break down on it. I ain't trying to be mean... Something to keep the electrical out of way while the travel mode is going, I think I would like the throttle to be in a set mode rather than a hand trigger, AND cause that mill is wasting more power that the others need so bad, I would get me a idea in my head to put power to the track when sawing so I didn't have to walk behind although that is not a deal breaker. I think that saw will run a blade longer cause the power is there to put it through the log. I think it will run true longer without dipping and diving just because it puts the blade to a advantage with adequate power. That is one damn fine saw!

Thanks, I agree with your points. I added a hand wheel to I can easily do fine adjustments on the height. I have a video on the channel showing it. I had been cutting and had some much better logs but by the time I decided to video this was what I had, wish I had thought of it earlier. There are some things that would make it better but I don't use it enough to warrant doing a lot of upgrades. Thank you for your comments, it's nice to hear people like your work. I enjoyed reading it all.

I love that mill you made! :) Thanks for sharing it! and for the sawing lesson too. I'm wondering about the acme screws and how you sync them. is the main connection a chain looped around a sprocket at the top of each screw, as we see the one under the drill? Do you have any problems either binding, or getting out of whack between the crews? does the chain span between the two sprockets without support? I really like that screw idea. I was thinking of using stepper motors to do preset advances on different scales, like 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and so on. Thanks again!

The screws are synced like you said with a chain that runs horizontal, with no support between them. I haven't had any issues with it. The screws look light to me but they have held up well.

It's been several years, I'm sorry I don't remember. Thanks for watching!

Nice mill! Spray it down with 50/50 combo of used motor oil and diesel through a bug/garden pump sprayer to prevent further rusting. Just saying.

I want to build one but don't know where to start. do you mind sharing approximate cost to build.

It's really hard to say, it was a long time ago. I had the engine, the steel was seconds from the mill. I only paid full price for the wheels for the blade and the wheels the saw rolls on. Good luck with your build!

Soat Mon thanks being realistic with myself it's probably best I either buy one or keep having my lumber cut my schedule is just to crazy in the immediate future to start another project. I have motors and all the steel at arms length time is my issue.

you say the engine is too big, what hp engine would you recommend?

l wouldn't say it's too big, it's nice to have the power to cut quickly. I don't really have an answer for you on recommended HP. I would look at commercial units, see what HP they are and the ratings to see if people are happy with the performance. I used this one because it is what I had. Thanks for watching!

Have you any idea the rpm of this mill? Is there a too fast or to slow in engineering this?

The engine runs about 2000 RPM by the time it gets to the blade through the chain drive and pulleys that hold the blade it is running about 4500 to 5000 feet per minute. If you go too slow it will take forever to cut, too fast and you can damage the drivetrain. Your chain, pulleys, gears etc. will come with a max RPM or FPM so you need to stay within that limit.
