I just keep seeing that scene from crocodile dundee when he pulls out the big bowie knife and says, "now that's a knife" Sir, now that's a bandsaw

[Dave Zellers]

You won't be able to do scroll work with that.

[John Coloccia]

Got mine off Craigslist for $1,700,000 :p

[Phil Thien]

Did you get the optional mobile base?

[Andrew Hughes]

Almost looks cartoonish,That's a big bandsaw or a small man.

[Jeff Monson]

Can we get a video of you folding up the blade?? Kidding aside, that thing is HUGE. A couple pics of it in action would be really cool.

[Bill Rhodus]

How are you going to feed it? Sharp chain? EDLF? What species? Thruput rate?

[Herr Dalbergia]

Thank you for your interest. I will post more pictures and perhaps I can manage to post a video. I am not so experienced with videos and internet...i am more of a wood guy, you know ;)

Some facts: the sliding table, when sliding back accelartes as fast as a Porsche 911, or a Dodge Viper....everything is Laser controlled. You have like 10 screens in the operater-room, a joysticck...looks like an airplane.

Basically you put in a log at one side, and a few seconds later you get precisious resawn lumber, graded, stacked....

BUT, you can even resaw venners (aka tonewood) with a kerf smaller than a tabelsaw blade, a surface like sanded, out of logs with diameter up to 5 or 6 feet, so really big logs.

@Bill: Sorry, my english is not so good, but what do you mean with EDLF? An what is a sharp chain? The thruput rate I will let you know tomorrow...it is redicolus high...
We are mainly doing european oak, also larch, maple, walnut etc, but 80 % Oak.


Cheers, alex

You take your hobby serious,dang that is huge.When I seen the 102hp I thought it was a mistake,if you do a video I would love to hear it run.Again that is HUGE,thanks for posting----Carroll

[Dan Hintz]

How are you going to feed it?

Sounds like the beginning of a joke...

Q: "What do you feed a 102hp bandsaw?"
A: "Anything it wants!"

[Cary Falk]

What are you resawing with that, doublewides?:eek:

[Craig Behnke]

why didn't you order the big one? haven't you learned that from reading posts here on SMC? always buy the biggest you can afford!

[Charles Coolidge]

Meh it needs a riser block.

[Ron Kellison]

I'm not a big fan of the colour! For that price you should have been able to get some flames on sides and some big flashing lights! :<)

[Dave Zellers]

I'm feeling very inferior...


I WANT TO SAW 5 FOOT DIAMETER LOGS TOO!!!!

[Larry Komroff]

Band saw envy

[Tai Fu]

That's not a bandsaw, it's a sawmill! That's bigger than the bandsaw I see at the local lumberyard. That one they feed it with a motorized carriage.

[Peter Quinn]

That thing is large. Wow! I've been working for a millwork operation that does some flooring, people request "saw kerf " look boards, like the old fashioned circular saw blade mills they still use for some soft woods regionally here in the USA. But they want it in oak.....wide plank....and we try to explain to them that most of the fas quality wide oak is now sliced on band saws like yours that produce very smooth and consistent results. Darn those big bandsaws! They just don't allow that retro circular saw look. But they do make great lumber. Does the green veneer split as it dries, or is there some way to dry the logs?

[David Kumm]

Who is the really small guy? Dave

[Mike Heidrick]

Bad asssssss!

[Dave Zellers]

Who is the really small guy? Dave
He's going to need a really BIG guy to tension that blade properly.:D

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Wow!

I am surprised nobody mentioned it was housed in an aircraft hanger!

[Brian W Smith]

Was going to mention some general rigging safety.....looks like ya'll have that covered.

Am interested in the carriage,so any details on that system would be appreciated,thanks for posting.

[Bill Rhodus]

Not a joke. Mill is large enough for a resaw or primary break down operation. EDLF = end digging lumber feeder, sharp chain impales log on spike to feed thru machine. Very interesting

[Max Neu]

I thought my 24" Laguna is big,you could cut mine into scrap iron with that monster,looks like you might need a step ladder to use it.:)

[Bruce Page]

I wanna see the rest of the operation!

[Jim Rimmer]

Am I reading this right - in US Dollars it's $3.1M?

Doesn't this thread belong in the Neanderthal section?:)
Seriously, I'm amazed.

And concerning unfolding -- well, I'd too squeamish to watch ...
