Evening all, l have the chance to purchase a home made horizontal bandsaw, (takes a 4metre blade) a mate said l can store it on his farm (just have to build a cover).
The guys selling so he can build a chainsaw slabber.
l have seen the said saw in action on a small blackwood log (green timber), it did struggle which caused the blade to drift up and down, but l reckon it had too many teeth (2 or 3tpi) plus the gullet was getting blocked with wet/green saw dust.
It cuts pine and cypress pretty good, l will use it a few times a year as l come across timber - messmate, blackwood etc just need to get good bi-metal blades.(in case of nails/wire etc)
Now the Chinese motor on it, is about 7hp, l was thinking of getting the 10hp electric start diesel for $550+freight or a 16hp electric start petrol $329+freight.
Which would be better do you think, yes both motors are Chinese - so that is a worry, l was told change the oil after running the motor for about 1/2 -1 hr, to get rid of any metal fragments.(hopefully)
The very first thing l do need to do is put up some safety guards, but that is no drama, l know some good retired fitters.
So the basic question is - has anyone used these Chinese motors, diesel vs petrol, which would better for cutting the harder timbers diesel or petrol?
l realise l have to get really good blades, so add something if you like.
Looking forward to your knowledgeable answers.
Regards
Stevo
