It's coming along always like to see homemade mills as they all differ so much but all do the same job. What motor you having?
-
Any pictures of your mill so far?

Thankyou.. and haven't had a blade brake yet I don't put a lot of tension on as there is no need but I alway stay behind the saw and the blade is surrounded by metal apart from the front that I stay away from but the perspex is super strong also.
-
Thanks my plan for the future is to make a track for it then I have best of both worlds. The tracking is the grub screws which once set dosnt need touching and the tension is the Allen key bolt.

Lol well I tied the log to my car then slowly drove the van farward propping it as it came out then use trolly jack to lift and lower it to the floor then a pallet truck to move it from there. 3rd pic is two more decent lumps and 4th pic is a oak porch some of this wood is eventually going to turn into.

That were the pic befor it got put in the van so I could shut the doors and strapped it down to stop it rolling.

Dish cutter leave a smoother finish as they don't have sharp corners. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=dish+cutter&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwitu42b_5bUAhUILMAKHTyxBIIQ_AUICigC&biw=360&bih=640&dpr=3#imgrc=dB_6_0DOPrjxlM:
