Ribbon sawmill is considered the cheapest model. Its popularity is explained by the fact that almost any person can work with such a tool. This sawmill does not need serious staff training. However, there are a fairly large number of varieties of this tool on the market. Naturally, many potential buyers have a question – by what criteria to evaluate the sawmill?
The main criteria for choosing tape sawmill
Rails. As practice shows, the more difficult they will be, the better and more efficiently more than the sawmill. It is important that the length of the rail track is at least nine centimeters. Otherwise, there is a probability of certain problems at the time of rolling lumber to the rails. In addition, the rail path must be equipped with a special mechanism for its regulation in the plane. Otherwise, you will need to think and modify your own anchor bolts, which will certainly entail additional expenses.
The power of the motor. To perform normal drinks on a strip sawmill, a power unit with a capacity of at least 11 kW is required. If the motor is weaker, then the cutting process will occur much slower, respectively, the performance will be minimal.
The diameter of the pulleys. The only drawback of strip pylors is that they often have saws. This is due to an excess in the process of rotation of the pulleys. The more their diameter, the fewer speeds need to be made when saving the linear speed of the tape of 30 meters per second. The smaller the diameter, the more revolutions you will have to do to maintain the linear speed of the device. Thus, it turns out that the larger the diameter, the lower the speed of twisting the pulleys, the less extensions and bends of the tape canvas, the less the likelihood that the canvas will break during operation.
The size of the tape canvas. Here the principle is extremely simple – the wider the canvas, the better and more efficiently the sawmill is considered to be. Narrow canvases (up to four centimeters) are intended for carpentry work. Such devices are suitable only for dividing the thinter into boards.
