Okay I’m John from Hud-Son Forest Equipment.
We’re going to go over a quick video today on how to align your bandwheel.
Remove the bolts on your bearings to make the bandwheel adjustment.
To start, get your wheel tracking properly.
So in this case we’re going to assume that this bad blade is running off the back side of the band wheel too far.
We know we always want it flush on our 36 mills and on our little mills.
So I was looking for the blade to be flush on the back side.
So right now we’re going to assume that the blade is going too far that way toward the operator.
We want to move the blade this way.
So we’re going to make the adjustment on this bearing.
Bring that blade this way.

INCREASE PROFITS WITH BIGGER LOGS AND WIDE SLABS

• Designed to cut large logs that conventional sawmills can’t handle

• Boasting 52″ Diameter logs and 20″ depth of cut 

• Many available options to fit your needs. 

 

The Oscar-52 Sawmill has a huge 52″ log capacity and can cut up to a 48″ wide board, making it perfect for all those large logs that most other mills cannot begin to process. The wide throat enables you to cut slabs for tabletops, counter tops, mantles and much much more. These products are extremely unique and have a greater value than lumber. Being able to cut custom items adds endless potential of large trees, stumps, burls, and more which otherwise could have been considered waste.  The Oscar 52 is easy to operate and maintain which leaves you more time to mill and sell your products. This mill is available with multiple engine and track options so that you can customize it to your needs.

We appreciate our wonderful customers who have kept us in business for over 50 years and we look forward to serving you for many generations to come!

“About 3 years ago I purchased the Hud-Son Hunter, from an individual that had bought it and never assembled it. I have had it on a home made trailer since I assembled it and it has worked very well for me. I decided there is really no need for my mill to be portable so I am in the process of pouring concrete in sono tubes and mounting it more permanent. Also I am re-doing the sub frame and extending it to 20ft. I am also replacing the tracks with 1 piece steel. On top of all of that it will be housed in a new building instead of sawing out in the open.
Some day I may upgrade to a fully hydraulic mill but for now this mill serves me very well. I primarily saw ash but have milled up just about every type of tree known in Missouri.”
Thank you Hud-Son for producing a quality mill.

About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY: We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead.

Merry Christmas to everyone at hudson forestry. Just a few pics from the my operation. I really enjoy the patriot mill.going into 3rd year and still learning about band mill sawing. As the great Rush Limbaugh always said the learning never stops. Latest lumber adventures include cherry, walnut, locust, and a lot of pine and ash. Thanks again for building a affordable awesome mill.
