There’s a big difference between your left and right adjusters, on how much threads are exposed. The same is happening to mine, same sides too. But doing that put it in a bind, when lowering. Making me think something was wrong. I loosened the bolts holding the black plastic pieces that the vertical risers go through. That helped a little.

When you cannot get 16' 4x4s or 4x6s, how do they splice the skids together???
@PlankmillsАй бұрын
We used treated 2x6 pieces on either side of the splice and screwed it together well. Using deck screws and some big GRK lag screws. I know of a shop that builds storage sheds, and uses a metal plate to splice them together.

Does it snipe a lot? What I’ve read on the forums is people were unhappy with the amount of sniping? Also are you happy with the weight of the machine? I’m very interested in buying the machine but one of my major concerns is it lacks the weight and sturdiness to fight vibration and durability.
@PlankmillsАй бұрын
Yes it did that quite a bit. If you have extra on your wood that can just be trimmed off. I thought it was fine. I had a problem with the bolt that screws into the headers. The one side kinda stripped out when I was trying to change a head. It was a bit finicky to get threaded properly. But over all I think it was a good machine for the money. If you had a nice table on each side for lumber, or especially heavy slabs that would make it super nice!

You finished the presentation be saying 'It all comes down to personal preference'. But you didn't buy for preferential features, you bought it purely on price. You bought the cheapest entry level saw that woodland sells and then say you don't like the features you got and the better features you wish you had but refused to pay for? And then compare it to a much more expensive saw that had the features you were willing to pay for in the Norwood? I appreciate your video but your complaints weren't Woodlands poor engineering but you underbuying the features you wanted that were readily available from them.

Hi Caleb. I've been following your amazing work, along with the ups and downs for more than two years and I'm so happy that you've landed on your feet and are doing well. You are always upbeat and willing to work your way through. As a hands-on general contractor for over 40 years, I applaud your quick grasp of the various trades. Please bear in mind that waste lines should not have 90 degree bends. Use long sweeps or 45s. Also, install wyes for cleanouts. Wishing you best of luck on the water, I hope to hear that's resolved!

Hi Charlie, Thankyou for your support and encouragement! I’ve done roofing for quite about 10 years, and some building as well, I’m fairly new to plumbing though, and haven’t done much electrical either. Thankyou for the tips. I only used one 90 degree elbow. And that was where it turns comes up out of the ground. Other than that, just 45’s and straight couplings. We have a temporary water setup right now, using IBC totes. Waiting on the well guy to drill the well deeper.

I realize that this video is a year old, but just in case someone new sees it I'm going to add an observation here. All manufacturers that use roller guides, as far as I know, recommend leaving about 1/8" clearance between the flange on the back of the roller guide and the blade. That may account for the added noise he heard.
@Plankmills2 ай бұрын
Yes, good observation! I believe I had it set that way, but when you’re pushing through a cut, the blade will naturally get picked back against the roller back flange. Could be the blade needed to be changed.

@@Plankmills The Cooks say that the blade shouldn't deflect enough to rub on the flange. Mine don't on my AC36. I run 1 1/2" x.055 blades though.

I "up graded as well for our 36 v2. They sent a whole new brackets that looked good at least on the "before cut side or inlet side", it had provisions for coolant. I have real reservations on the quality on the "Exit cut side brackets". The new roller guide kit / upgrade, came with ceramic pucks on the under side for both the inlet cut side and exit cut side. this worked well for the first 5-10 logs, mostly pine. After that it would shack and vibrate something fierce at times. Usually I could slow down the feed and some what control this . I figured that I needed to adjust to this new blade guide system. BUT the reality was that the exit side bracket was fatiguing with every pass. Today with less that 20 logs on these new blade guides, the exit side bracket, folded over like cheep crack addict hooker needing a new shot of her drug of choice. In all fairness I did contact Noorwood and came back with " we never heard of such a thing" & "we are forwarding your concern to our engineering department". So well see about the famous customer service. Which has been pretty good so far! But in the mean time I am embarrassed in front of my customer with constant fiddling and adjustments and eventually brake down. I put the original ceramic exit side guide back on and re-leveled as best I could and whaallaa, the vibration and shacking stopped.
