Hydraulics for Norwood was the best investment I made in the mill. The log lifter is a little weak but great for storing slab wood to pick up with the forks later on.

This is exciting. I've never seen much of the hydraulics from Norwood. This is going to make life much easier for you and 20 plus feet of milling is awesome. You'll be able to cater to the timber framers. I agree on the stellite bands The tank did look bent on video. I wish you lived closer. I'd love to spend a day in your wood yard.

At 16:00 couldn't you have raised the camera end of the log and gotten more full length boards?
@williamprophett9148 3 күн бұрын
@mcsawmill on this case, no. The end of the log was an actual "L" and not a "taper." If I lifted it up, I would have been sawing completely diagonal to the grain. The boards would have been completely unstable and weak. If you think about the long grain "straws" being diagonal to the faces and only a few inches long, that would better describe it. I kept the long grain of that little log parallel to the cut line. I did end up getting a couple longer boards on the bottom. Worked out perfect for the customer. He bought all of both logs😁. I hope you had a great New Years day, George!

@williamprophett9148 5 күн бұрын
@Hunter-cl6bw start with all the basics. Tracking, mill level, blade level. You need the mill rails level to check the band for level. Once those 3 things are good, the band should cut straight. It's not very complicated unless there is something we are missing somewhere else. Is the motor going to full RPM? Are you pushing too slow or too fast? What are you cutting?

Good video Bill. I’m gonna have to check my alignment again now, makes sense how adjusting yokes is not the right way to make blade parallel to bunks. I didn’t adjust mine a lot but I’m gonna check it. I totally agree that the drive side bracket is way too flimsy and needs a gusset. Overall though I love the roller guides way better than ceramics
