Homemade log processor saw issues

[Chipy]

You're saying when it cuts, it's 'pulled' down by a spring to cut??

 

Could it be that it's not being 'controlled' when cutting - you can't slow it / back it off if it starts to stick?

 

We have a Ryetec processor where the operator controls the speed of the cutting blade on the cutting stroke via a variable valve, but the return is spring loaded / pulled back.

 

Yes a spring pulls it down. Maybe il put a double acting ram on it then and have it pushed down via the ram and pulled back up

Just be careful then.

 

See if you can put a 'restrictor' valve in for the cutting stroke, but maybe not the return stroke?

 

To operate the cutting stroke, is it on a lever or a 'all or nothing' kind of button??

 

Just asking this, as on our machine, it's a lever which kind of gives you a secondary back up, so if you haven't slowed the blade down on the knob, you can back off with the lever if you notice the blade starting to bite / stick....

It's on a lever so I can control the speed

I recently purchased an LM deck saw like the one in the photo, the ram on that is a two way and there is a pressure regulator on the spool for the down stroke.

So are you just going to continue to ignore the fact that you don't even have the minimum oil flow, how's the pressure???

 

Adding a ram into the equation wont help, that's just going to demand more pressure and flow that you don't seem to have to spare

I'm going to check it's not the CS06 Stanley saw I have because The guy that built it said we did have enough flow etc so I could be getting mixed up with the 2 saws. I won't be adding a ram because there's already one there to lift the saw, il just replace it with a double acting one.

Hi BOB that looks interesting mate thanks for pic thanks Jon

It is the CS11 so i need more pressure. Any ideas how to get it from a digger? Alternative might be to find one of these deck saws.

Fancy that. Want more flow, better pressure, change the pump.

What excavator are you using?

Our KX71-3 gives a flow rate of around 50l/min and a pressure of about 3000psi on the auxiliary circuit. Think most are about the same for hammers etc
