i have seen plenty of home made bandsaws on YouTube, made with some frame, a rolling saw portal, and 2 old car tires to drive the saw band around... the log stays in place and the bandsaw portal moves through the log.
But they are all low power, gas or electric powered...
Older circular sawmills have a stationary blade, and roll the log on a bed through the sawblade. The big drawback is that it needs double the length of bed.
Does anyone have an idea how to power a moving bandsaw head with a stationary tractor PTO drive ? the idea is to cut costs, so hydraulic is no option...
