Homemade bandsaw mill (also called a sawmill or portable band sawmill).
Function: Used to precisely cut large logs into planks or beams.
Main visible components:
Large electric motor (blue) → acts as the main drive, providing power to the bandsaw blade.
Two large wheels with rubber tires → serve as pulleys where the bandsaw blade (metal band) is mounted. The tires help dampen vibrations and maintain blade tension.
Band saw blade → a thin, toothed metal band running from the front wheel to the rear, used to cut wood.
Welded steel frame → supports the motor, wheels, and drive system.
Steel cable and small pulley → likely used as a height adjustment system (to raise or lower the cutting unit depending on the thickness of the wood).
Wooden base → serves as a temporary support to keep the machine stable on the ground.
Use location: Outdoors, on a patch of dry leaves, usually located near logs.
🔧 Conclusion: This is a homemade portable bandsaw (bandsaw mill) that uses a large electric motor and used car wheels to cut logs into planks.
