I could not resist to come back to my old stomping ground to show off

First, this is what it does:

 

[czechsonofagun]

It is based on an I beam I got for free and the whole idea is taken from Logosol.

Log moves up with 1" ACME rods.

The log dogs I may need to change or improve, but it works for now.

Cheap rulers help setup the thickness, 1 3/8" move up gets me 1" board.

24" bar with ripping chain will need an end support, it shakes bit too much.

I tried to use whole 372XP clutch assembly, but it would slip on slow down - this is the outer clitch piece welded to a spindle. It gives me the option to replace the chain sprocket rim as needed.

The whole electrical setup has to be updated, also the oil delivery is lacking - gravity feed only now - probably will have to get some kind of an oil pump.

I like it. I'm assuming you have a ripping chain on there. How is the chain oiled? How many HP motor?

 

[czechsonofagun]

The motor is 6hp and yes, using ripping chain.

Oiled is gravity fed and the bar has extended hole to get the oil to the chain, but I think it needs more pressure than gravity to lube better.

Your back Prokop!
Nice setup. Weld made. Have you got a good supply of timber.
