Homemade swing blade idea... Arborist, Chainsaw Tree Work Forum
My idea is to build a swing blade sawmill using a 12" ripping circular saw blade and 5hp electric motor. This should allow me to make dimensional lumber 4x4 and smaller. ... As a guide the smallest Lucas Mill Electric that makes 8" cuts uses a 3 Phase 15HP motor so making 4" cuts would see to require a motor . Reply. rwthom279
