making my own wood processor advice needed

[doobin]

Nothing on that scale will be cheap! Why not reduce the bigger timbers into manageable billets to put through a normal processor??

Yea ive seen them on youtube but are they not wild money? A blade on that scale would not be cheap.

 

a 6 feet carbide insert slasher blade 2 gauge (around 6.7mm kerf) will cost £3000 from simmonds international, that will give you a 24 inch + cut

you will also need the sharpener,

a considerable spindle with heavy bearings (you dont want to mount a quarter ton blade on chinese bearings) and a drive system either v belts or 100 - 150 horsepower hydro motor

 

i know the bearings cost about 600 each
