Here are some photos of my little mill. A Westford BSK 190. It has taken me several days to master the art of including photos (I hope).
1 Mill on the day of commissioning includes the blade and my bum.
2 Mill from the cutting side minus the blade as I am not milling at the moment.
3 Mill from the operators side.
4 The general set up with the track for the mill and loading racks so logs can be rolled on and not damage the tracks.
Some of the specificationa are
1 Maximum log diameter 27"
2 Maximum throat width is 21"
3 Blades 1.25" x 138.75" x.035 1' tooth Hackkansson bi metal or same size but a 3/4" tooth Simmonds Redstreak for softer timber.
4 Current length of log capacity is 4 feet to 14.5 feet.
5 Minimum sawing height is 1" above log holder.
6 Powered by a Kohler 12 HP.
7 Blade tensionioning is hydraulic (2300 to 2500 PSI).
If any members wanted to see this mill operatoring or bring some timber to a 'field day' then I would be happy to 'fire up' the mill one weekend towards the end of June. I live 25klm north west of Murwillumbah in NSW so it won't be practical for most members. E-mail me on [email protected]. if it is more convenient.
