OK Folks!!! Here it is, and it WORKS!!! Ignore the belts, they are temps until I get a new link belt I can custom the sizes     First slice was a coconut from Idaho  Results from first slice.  Idaho Plume ready to slice  Plume slice after taking a slice off the end to get a clean slab on both sides. Just over 1/4 inch all the way around so it appears to be working  Thanks for enjoying my project with me and the kudos given my way. It actually was not a difficult build. All said and done just about $1200 complete. Thanks again for putting up with me. Now my posts will be in the finished cab section!!!! Joe

Outstanding job on that saw. How many hours do you think you have in the construction of it? Is there anything you would do differently if you built another one?

I guess about 50 - 60 hours to build and I would and plan to put plexi glass windows in it. Thought of that while building it but never got around to it. Still an option I will probably do at some point to this one.

Dicky Not sure what your asking but the sled rides on the 2 1" round bars and is driven by the rear motor on a threaded rod if that helps. Holes are drilled through the sled frame to accommodate the 1" rods The threaded rod slips through holes in the center of the sled and there is a threaded catch and release attached to the sled. When in use the release is spring loaded to hole tension on to the threaded rod to screw the sled in motion. There is a lever to separate the two halves of the release so the sled can be moved back and forth by hand when needed
