    Im not a big fan of circular mills, but this one seems to do well. Nice setup.

    Generally speaking, a belt too tight will cause a shaft to break where that one broke, and also the lock collars on the bearings should be removed first from the bearing to efficiently remove the bearings, In my experience of a lifetime industrial mechanic and millwright.

    Thanks for letting us know what you're cutting.
  • @overtime6696
    Thanks for the video! I noticed you run the larger cuts last.. How long do the logs have to dry or cure, before they are ready for milling? And do you control the humidity in the process?

    You would have a lot less trouble if that was a round drive roller. A rubber covered drum would be best but knurled steel should work. That open drive causes a vibration that causes metal fatigue in the shaft and bearings. You could drill 1" holes in the drum with a stagered pattern if trapped sawdust is an issue, but ditch the flat bars.

    O like the fixing when needed, everything breaks and one time or another.

    Do you mill to order or mill to maintain a stock profile?

    What are the big rectangular poplar cants used for?
  • @robertgreen8695
    Looks like you need a different design on that roller as it looks like there is vibration instability issue.
