Home-Built Sawmill Handles Biggest, Toughest Logs WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 26-2-35 My home-built sawmillwill handle the biggest, toughest logs. It's powered by a 50 hp. Cummins Onan engine, which runs the bandsaw blades and debarker. An 11 hp. Honda engine runs all hydraulics on the log carriage itself. The saw's operated by 32 switches.Our best 2-day run with the sawmill was 12,128 board feet in 17.2 hours.
