Thread: saws and spindle for sawbench

are you going to use them on your cnc saw setup?

no these are for a nother resaw.

so this is the wizconsin . does it work? if it does it must run the blades ok . whats the saw project this time ? cheers Bob

i didnt buy the motor just the blades and spindle.

building a resaw bench.

are you going to have a powered retrun or just rollers?

what i am building is a bench to resaw large cants (8x4) into flooring and other sizes.

ill put a caridge on it that teh cants are clamped into that is powered threw the saw.

all i need now is the hydrostatic drive off a lawnmower.

will put about 40 - 50 hp or something on it.

its actualy the shaft and motor from an old widow maker swing saw.

hey weisy about 10 hp per cutting inch is a good rule of thumb

there is a way of working it out, its some combination of

feed rate - number to teath - cut depth - rpm.

cant find it at the moment iv got it in one of my books.

yer these blades are made to run at lower hp but higher rpm, thats the reson for the lesser teath.

a 40-50 hp 3 phase motor will be heps to run up to a 300mm cut mostly it will be around 4"

we always ran 100hp on the breakdown benches when we had teh mill and you couldnt kill them in a 3' cut.

yeah big difference between electric and fuel hp so 3 phase in that hp bracket should be fine.
