CUTTING FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR A SAWMILL， AND A SAWMILL INCORPORATING SAME

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