Hudson Forest Equipment Oscar 221 portable sawmill 9HPIncludes (3) Te21 track extensions 1 unopened box of 15 blades. Bought in November and only used for about ten hours. Basically brand new Retails 5 500This upgrade is the same clutch we use on our 14-35 hp motor and they have given flawless performance and durability. The Subaru 9 hp motor also carries a 3-year manufacturer s warranty. The Oscar-221 has a 21 diameter log capacity and unlimited length capacity with optional track sections. The standard unit comes with two six-foot sections of track that will allow you to cut a 9 foot log. The unit is manually adjusted for height by a hand crank and is pushed through the cut. The scale system incorporates a dual measuring scale. It has inches or metric for you to cut at a specific height for beams or mantles and a quarter scale rule for dimensional lumber. The Oscar-221 comes with a blade lubrication system that holds 2 1 1 gallons of blade lube. The blade lube is a simple mixture of dishwashing soap and water or windshield washer fluid if temperatures dip below freezing. This system flows directly onto the blade to keep blades free of pitch and running freely through the Hud-son Guides. The guides limit the blade deviation by having a shoe above and below the blade thus preventing blade fluctuations and porpoising. The cutting head feature 16 band wheels with polypropylene belting to increase band blade life and reduce vibration. The belting is custom made for us and has a mushroom shape to keep the blade centered on wheel and tracking correctly. The band wheels ride on a heavy-duty 1 shaft supported by two pillow block bearings on each side of the wheel. This configuration distributes the pressure load evenly over the shaft to eliminate premature shaft or bearing failure
