    摘要: A cutting fluid delivery controller for a sawmill, and methods and systems for controlling delivery of cutting fluid to a saw blade in a sawmill. The saw blade is driven by a motor. The speed of the motor is regulated by a throttle lever having an idle speed position and a cutting speed position. The cutting fluid delivery controller includes a fluid valve configured to automatically turn on a flow of cutting fluid to the saw blade when the throttle lever is set to the cutting speed position, and to automatically turn off the flow of the cutting fluid when the throttle lever is set to the idle speed position. The cutting fluid delivery controller interconnects the fluid valve and the throttle lever to allow the operator to simultaneously control operation of the saw blade, and the flow of the cutting fluid to the saw blade, with a single operator manipulable actuator.

    摘要: A flywheel and paddle assembly for a chipping or shredding apparatus, including a wood chipper, a brush chipper, and a leaf shredder. The assembly has a flywheel attached coaxially to a drive shaft. The flywheel has at least one aperture extending from the front side to the back side, and carries at least one knife adjacent to the at least one aperture. The knife presents a knife edge on the front side of the flywheel. A paddle is rotatably mounted coaxially to the drive shaft adjacent to the back side of the flywheel. The paddle is configured to rotate on the drive shaft independently of the flywheel. A chipping or shredding apparatus incorporating the aforesaid flywheel and paddle assembly is also disclosed.

    摘要: A sawmill assembly comprising a bed, a carriage and a tilting device. The bed has a pair of substantially parallel rails that define a first plane, a first axis perpendicular to the first plane, and a second plane perpendicular to both the first plane and a longitudinal axis of the rails. The carriage is movably supported along the rails. The tilting device allows a user to adjust a tilt angle of the carriage in the second plane, relative to the first axis. Also disclosed are methods of adjusting a blade angle of the sawmill assembly, and methods of cutting a tapered piece from a workpiece material.
