Choosing a tire sawmill

During construction, wood is often used in the form of floorboards, rafters, stairs and other structures. To obtain such products, specialized equipment is required - a sawmill. The busbar has a number of advantages that you should be familiar with. There are also some guidelines for choosing equipment and starting it up. It is worth noting that you can make a tire sawmill with your own hands if you follow simple instructions.

Tire sawmill in many ways resembles a band sawmill, however, it has its own distinctive characteristics. During processing, the log lies motionless, and the sawing is carried out using a saw, which is attached to a moving carriage. It is necessary to move the latter manually, the height of the tire is adjusted according to personal requirements, for this there is a handle, which is located on the screw. It is possible to lower or raise the tire to the desired distance, so that you can get the cut of the required thickness.

The main task of the sawmill is to provide high-quality longitudinal sawing of logs from different tree species, which are subsequently used for the production of boards, veneer, timber, etc. It should be noted that This equipment is more suitable for working with small batches of material, moreover, it copes well with processing non-standard logs and beams to achieve special dimensions of the workpiece. The main advantages of such a unit include high wear resistance, maintainability, low weight and dimensions, which allows the unit to be transported without problems, as well as reliability. However, it should be understood that it will be necessary to replace the chain if the equipment is actively used.

When searching for a tire sawmill, you will repeatedly come across with the company "Murka", which produces woodworking equipment. Gasoline model "M1" is considered a completely new design, thanks to which you can easily and quickly install the chainsaw and get to work. With such a unit, you can cut round wood, resulting in boards, beams and other sawn timber. The features of the chain machine include high-quality rail assembly, minimal dimensions for transportation, ball bearings for moving parts and easy assembly. The frame is made of sheet metal using laser cutting and high precision bending ensured perfect performance. This model consumes 0.8 liters of gasoline for an hour, despite the power of the chainsaw.

"Murka M12" works with an electric motor with a power of 5.5 kW. The stability of the cut is guaranteed, it processes any diameter of logs with high quality. The design is characterized by increased strength and reliability. The maximum diameter of the log is 600 mm, up to 4 cubic meters can be processed per shift, which indicates high productivity. Such an electric sawmill can serve both in production and for personal use.

The new generation of sawmills includes model "M5", which is self-powered from a chainsaw. Stability in the cut is ensured, the equipment is considered economical, since it does not consume a lot of fuel.It is also an oversized unit that can be easily transported. A distinctive feature of Murka products is a reliable fastening of the frame to the rails, as well as a strong clamping of logs. It is a steel structure that will provide accurate lumber geometry and will last long enough.

Since woodworking equipment plays an important role in the production of products from natural materials, the question arises about the criteria for choosing such a unit, because there are many options on the market. The first step is to determine the amount of work that will be carried out, the source material that needs to be cut is also important. Pay attention to the power of the installation, the size of the machine, the indicator of the maximum and minimum cutting diameter, chain speed and productivity per shift.

The sawmill can be powered by electricity or from an engine, the power of which must be at least 3 kW. A cable is required for power, however, the equipment will move during operation, so an offset of up to about 6 m should be considered. It is important to ensure that the cable is insulated and strong enough, flexible and flexible. When it comes to a gasoline engine that is mounted on a tire sawmill, the mobility of the equipment is increased. To start such a sawmill, you will need a battery, and if you are using a chainsaw drive, you cannot do without a recoil starter, which will start the engine.

Equipment for sawing logs can be made by hand without any training and experience. It's troublesome, but if you follow the recommendations presented, the result will be amazing. First you need to prepare all the materials with tools so as not to be distracted from work. The list includes rails, steel pipes, an electric motor that can be replaced with a gasoline engine, a device diagram, a welding machine, a drill with cutting tools for working with metal, as well as a tape measure and other materials at hand.

The first step is to build a rectangular frame. In its center at the base, you need to attach a tire, and then check whether it can withstand the load and whether it will be reliable. For the manufacture of a tire machine, a certain sequence must be followed, this is important. A cutting element is attached to the axle made of high-strength steel, a hole is required for this. This will prevent horizontal movement. With regard to vertical displacement, to prevent this from happening, bearings are installed on the axle on both sides of the tire. They are clamped with a bushing, and the axle is welded to the frame itself.

On the reverse side, it is necessary to place the motor with a block that controls the chain tension. When asked about where to get all these parts, you can answer as follows - just disassemble the chainsaw. The drum is attached to the shaft and fixed with a longitudinal key. Then it is necessary to center the unit and fix it in the housing, making sure that everything is held securely. To avoid strong vibrations during engine operation, it is necessary to make a trolley from steel sheet 4-6 m, a corner is attached there so that there is no lateral play.

Once the unit is assembled, it must be attached to a metal frame, which is also pre-made with your own hands. Two pipes with the letter P are welded together, the upper parts of the blanks are attached to them, 4 pipes need to be welded in the center, grooves are made on each of them. Between them, you need to leave about 20 mm of free space, then the pipes are welded to the working unit.By creating such a structure, you will provide freedom of movement and will be able to cut logs even in your yard. Home-made machines can be no less productive and high-quality than factory ones, it all depends on personal requirements.
