I guess I'm not sure

@@mattcoblentz74 It's kind of a joke. I remotely know a person that got one of these as he put it 'I think you could work a man to death tailing behind it' These things are super impressive. How was it to move around as I understand it's pretty darn heavy

It definitely is a beast to move. Unfortunately the manufacturer even though he is Amish is not the most honest or reliable person to deal with as we have found out. My brother also bought a slabbing mill from him and it was an absolute joke.. I think COVID messed him up with getting materials but I don't think that's an excuse.

Thank you for your kind words

I find that peening the blade properly makes the most difference. Then the distance or angle of the blade and snath. Training the edge is very easily manageable.

@@mattcoblentz74 thanks!

That is awesome

Yes I agree

Lol

Ah yes, the terminally online KZbin commenter @konstantinNeo. Hope you find happiness in building something someday rather than tearing people down around you.

Thank you

Yes or longer

I do mine free hand. But I took a wedge and ground the edge to fit the scythe. Then welded a sharp piece of round stock to it. Drilled a slightly smaller hole in a block of wood. Inserted the piece and then flipped my scythe over and struck the bottom of the blade with the flat die if the hammer and it worked quite well

@@mattcoblentz74 yes sir by the looks of your cutting you've got a pretty good handle on free hand peening.

@@simpleforging3339 thank you sir

You will have to call the number on the mill

Yes I think it's the fastest in its class.

Thank you. It's still cuts as fast and true as the day it was new. If you need a mill , this is the mill for you!

That was an immature comment. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.

@@simpleforging3339 is this an example of cancel culture? Why are you so mean and hurtful?

No comprende

It depends o. The congregation

I milled a log that I had to trim the sides with the chainsaw but I don't remember the footage anymore

Ok so I did the video for the Amish fellow that makes them. His number is on the mill but if you text ma at 989-506-5746 I will forward you the number

I agree a swing blade mill is a good option. I researched those too and almost went that direction. But at the end of the day I felt the sawdust pile was a big issue for me furniture grade sawdust is more valuable in lumber form. Also with a sharp band my tolerances are closer than the swing blade with less waste of materials and time.

@@mattcoblentz74 Yes, I can appreciate that a bandsaw wastes less wood when you're milling which is important when you are milling expensive wood but then again, if your blade waves then then you're going to have a lot of waste there as well. I guess I'm just thinking about milling large quantities of straight boards for projects like barns and sheds.

True and it is less than ideal when sawyers don't take the time to true up their mills. A properly tuned in band mill will saw consistently even when the blade starts to get dull. We humans by nature push way beyond the max. Every blade wanders when it gets dull including the swing blade mills. They are actually a bit more apt to cut crooked because when the blade gets burnt it develops a blister that just keeps the blade from cutting right no matter how sharp it is. It will need to be hammered at that point where the band saw can be replaced.

I'm sorry you will have to contact Ben to get a quote and they are built in Seneca Falls NY the number is on the mill it you can text me and I can get it for you.

You might want to do a bit more research

@@mattcoblentz74 No it's easier for folks like them to just posit nonsense and not back it up. Research takes work. Most 4 post machines are going to be very similar then it also matters what is patented. I can see right off the bat that the height control(lift) is different. I know there are other machines out there using similar designs

After running a cooks last week I'm even more convinced this is nothing like it. Log dogs are opposite and not even used on final edge and so much more. I would love to run one of these as the speed seems unmatched in a band saw mill

No they don't. I can get you the number to reach them or you can get it off the sawmill in the video

Yes it is , they make them everyday

You won't go wrong with a Cook's sawmill, they're a real good choice

Ben was actually the one who was running the mill I was running the camera thanks for the compliment though

I'm not sure anymore on the price

Thanks for the compliment 🙂

That is something you would probably be better off addressing with Stanton. I wondered the same thing as well

@@mattcoblentz74 Hey brother, hope everyone is good. I’ve started trying a different blade on the mill called Ripper 37,s , I’ve noticed on a giant Maple I recently milled they dipped and waved ? I’m sure different blades need different tensioning but I don’t have anything to let me know what the difference might be. My tension setting is nothing more than an indicator meeting flush with the end of a larger nut. My mill manufacture suggested Timberwolf blades which I bought and actually liked, just saw a lot of buzz on the Ripper 37 from sawmill sights and wanted to try something different. Thanks and have a great day.

@@slabsoffreedomsawmill9721 what thickness is the ripper

@@mattcoblentz74 I can’t remember, I’ll check and get back to you. I ordered the 10 degree blades which are more suited for softwood. Everyone said I should’ve ordered the 7 degree for hardwood. I still like believe the Timber Wolfs are just as good a blade and I like their website, they’ve got tons of different blades to choose from for the Boardwalk 40.

I would try the woodmizer turbo tip or the 747 turbo tip

Sorry it has taken me so long to get to the comments. The mill is excellent! It is actually my brother Reubens mill.

Hi Dewayne, call me at 989- 506-5746 and I'll walk you through it. Being perfectly level isn't extremely important. Matching the saw to the track is more important

I did wish for hydrolics 😃 but this was just a starter mill for me

I was very happy with the mill. I made quite a few improvements on it and was cutting an average of 850' of grade an hour. I would have liked to see the customer service end of things improved. But other than that I felt the mill was well worth the money 😃

I really liked the mill! The forward cant of the head really lends itself to productivity! How beit with that being said I am somewhat disappointed in Stanton's customer service. I made some very positive upgrades to the mill that I felt he should have paid me for and when he looked at the upgrades and assured me that he liked them very much and felt they would definitely be something he would incorporate in new mills he conveniently forgot his check book. And I haven't heard from him since. I have sent him a lot of business and had hoped we could work together. So if you are mechanicaly inclined it's a awesome mill but if you expect customer service I would recommend a Timber Buddy. It is a heavy duty mill and can be made to your exact specifications.

@@mattcoblentz74 thank you for your reply and taking the time response. Your a bull on that mill . Hoping my lazy kids can help me when I get a mill. Best Jz

You are welcome. Let me know if I can be of further assistance

@@mattcoblentz74 sounds pretty Amish to me

That's the trailer package

I loved the mill, I had the big motor on it and the 15°angle makes a huge difference

No I have lots venting. Not sure on pricing but they have a junior a 40 and a 52 I believe. Great mill

Call or text me at 989-506-5746 for there number

It is an awesome sawmill

This is a 2" band and I believe it was around$55,000 delivered. Ben's number is on the mill, feel free to call him any time. It works better to text me at 989-506-5746 as I don't typically have internet on

@@mattcoblentz74 If this is $55k then it's a bargin. I did see one on Poxibid that sold for $60k and I don't think delivery was included. That is one impressive machine, the equivalent Timber King or Mizer would cost nearly $70-80k
