The main machinery components - band saws,
edgers, log carriages and tracks, and swing saws
- are packaged in plastic bags to help keep things
simple. Do not open these until it is time to build
and install them.
Note: The specific parts list
for each of these pieces of machinery is
included in the specific section of these
instructions.
The parts list in the back of the
instructions is for the remainder of the kit.
The floor of the sawmill may be already installed
in the mill, but this will not be a big problem.
Since the mill was designed prior to creating this interior kit, there need to be six holes added to the samill floor.
Position the cardstock template on the right side of the mill as shown below - looking at the mill from the front
- with the front of the template flush with the front corner of the floor and the laser-engraved text facing up.
Mark the holes for the edgers and ends of the log carriage track, and the triangular position marks for the ends
of the log carriage track. Remove the template, flip it over so the laser-engraved text is now facing down toward
the floor, and position it on the left side of the mill. Again, mark the two holes and the triangular position marks
for the ends of the log carriage track; ignore the holes for the edgers at this time.
Using a #60 drill, drill the inside of the corners of the six holes
only - not the triangle marks - and with a hobby knife,
remove the material from the holes.
There are already two large holes in the floor
for the bandsaws. The bandsaws and
the transfer will be the key
components for positioning
the remainder of the
parts and should be
installed first.
