Hi everybody I'm an old owner of a Ripsaw, but new member of the Ripsaw forum. I bought it many years ago, aroud 12, maybe more, from a reseller in Quebec city...
This is a nearly dead group. I'd be happy if folks out there cared to ring in and disagree and prove me wrong! I joined a year or so ago because I have an...
Couple people have asked me exactly how I mill all the lumber I do. This explains my system A to Z. Few people can claim they have the ability to walk into the...
Hi Denis Received your email. I agree. I am moderator on an other forum with helicopter flying orientation. We discuss about the Robinson Helicopters, 350...
OK Scott Found the thread about tensionning a blade http://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=7923.msg107757#msg107757 Very instructive. That is the...
Hi spencer You'll like to work with the little devil Ripsaw, but every board you get is big work. I often work alone in the wood doing all the job by myself....
Tox , in 1996 when I bought my Ripsaw the largest powerhead available was the 044 . Maybe the 064 that you have is running the band faster than the recommended...
Hello Everyone, I have a XL4 that has been idle for 2 years. I put it in it's new home this fall and plan to fire it up again in the spring. I posted some...
Welcome to everyone! I set up this forum quite some time ago but nobody used it. I am very happy tosee that it is now being used! I have put restrictions on ...
Hello Deb, Missed you in the past few months. I am glad to see you are working with the new owners, you were a great help when I was setting up my XL4. ...
Hi Toxedo, I thought I did post that last message - oh well. I was telling Toxedo how I bought a used Ripsaw from this site with Scottr's help. The saw came...
Glad to see you did not abandon Deb. Sometime few peoples make the revival with interesting content. I hope it will continue. Few of the members here are also...
Anybody ever seen or used a Delta Lumber Co. band mill? Closest thing to it that I've seen is the RipSaw. G. Lepage, you got your RipSaw some time ago and it...
Hi again Maybe you could put an automatic way to have the messages posted. I am moderator myself on an other yahoo forum. We dont have very much spam getting...
I believe the Delta Lumber Company was discontinued soon after we developed the Ripsaw mill, which as in the late 80's. It was a much heavier machine and did...
Thanks for the reply. The Delta Lumber Company manual even states that it's not a one man saw, at least not for carrying and lifting up. I have moved it and I...
I've seen very little online and never a picture. Can't find a thing on the Delta site. I will try to either scan a drawing or picture on the manual or take a...
we speak regularly with engineers that build bandmills, not welders. visit even a small sawmill and if they have a bandmill, wheels will be at least 30"...
I've about decided to invest in a Ripsaw (if I can get past the issues with air drying)and had a question or two. I've read a post or two where an alaskan mill...
Kevin I use an Mk III Alaskn mill to lop off the sides of logs, and size the log down to 14 inch wide cants so my Ripsaw can do its thing. Keeping that Ripsaw...
My guess it that you've used your chainsaw mill more than I've used mine, but I have run quite a bit thru my Norwood band mill. I would like to add a comment...
One of my reasons for wanting the alaskan was to size the cants for a ripsaw, with a 14" width restriction and the size trees I'm looking at it would be...
I like harley's idea about the lucas mill but it's out of the question for now. I'm glad you posted, I was going to order a mini today. I just picked up a used...
