New Blade and First Bomb Shrapnel - Old Sawmill Repair #7

I got the new blade for this old sawmill repair project Laimet 100 and it cuts finally! In this video, I put in a brand new blade and made some cuts. I got the bomb shrapnel in the first log, but it didn't do anything to the blade teeth, so I was lucky.
I started an old sawmill repair. It's a mobile sawmill that has been junked. It has a bent frame in several spots, the axle is cut off, the drawbar missing, lots of rust, and so on...

Love watching these old saws. I grew up manufacturing & repairing saws up 144" in South Georgia for almost 35 years

[@AFHProjects]

Thanks! Wow, that is a lot of years. You must be know everything about these. These types of sawmills aswell?

[@romppaukko]

This sawmill is not even old. About only 50 yo. 70's or 80's model.

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Diffrent kind of saw mill for sure.

I highly recommend getting a metal detector wand to look for any metal embedded in the logs before milling, large production lumber mills does it before milling all logs.

I will do that. There is no other option. We have this stuff a lott in trees.

I have an old circular blade mill that you can take a tool that unlocks each individual tooth so you can replace them, which was great for times like that. Sure hop you're going to build a roof over that "babydoll".

[@AFHProjects]

Yeah, I have never seen these blades here in Estonia. I'm not sure about the roof, but have to cover it somehow if not using it.

[@michaeld53]

I’d recommend removing the blade protection AFTER its installed on the shaft. Less chance of injury or damage to the teeth!

[@AFHProjects]

Right!

[@SuperReznative]

Agreed,as,an observer ,but I can see myself ,so "involved "in things that I would overlook ..

[@user-po2fx1cc4h]

It’s also good that the splinter didn’t “fly”. Once upon a time my father and I were sawing up a pine tree; in that pine tree there was a splinter from that war. The saw caught a splinter and it flew towards his father. After this incident, I bought a metal detector and before cutting logs I always scan them for the presence of metal.

[@AFHProjects]

Yeah, I bought it as well. Thanks for watching!

Great job of lubricating the machine before operation?

[@hyloward-gh6vj]

I really like what I see 😊

[@1425race]

Great to see that new blade working well but it's a pity that everything around it is rusty. Your next purchase should be a 5kg can of good grease and a grease gun. Put grease on and in everything that turns and moves especially pump grease into any grease nipples on all bearing housings if they have them. If any housings don't have grease nipples - install them. Dry bearings will become noisy and wear out quickly. Use your grease gun every day before you start the mill. Your nice shiny new blade needs a coat of paste wax to keep it from rusting and to make it cut easier.

[@scania1982]

He has lubricated everything in an older video

[@davidelliott5843]

Bearing bushes and small angle ball bearings need to be fully greased. But over-greasing rotating ball bearings is a great way to overheat and seize them.

[@martinscopes3914]

I see the other review yer you need a hand held metal detector. Very nice saw I love these old saws.

[@AFHProjects]

I have that. I also have videos out here where I find metal in logs. Thank you! Cheers!

[@sighardrichter888]

Höllenmaschine...

[@XLR8RRICK]

Good to see you working on the mill. I think I hear a noisy bearing and I see the carriage not traveling smoothly like some roller is a bit higher than the rest. Looks like you could use an Indexing Pin to set 2" and one at 4" at the far right so you could just push the log once to the pin and save a lot of time. Be well.

[@AFHProjects]

Thanks! I mill different material. I just line up with the carriage ribs.

[@AFHProjects]

@eightapeach2861 Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!

[@82lube]

I worked with TRIAGLE T CORPERATION for 18 years. We designed & patented the replaceable CARBIDE SPRING TOOTH sawblades. By 1989 appx 90% of the blades we made had been changed to INSERT BLADES & single carbide teeth can be changed out when damaged by shrapnel imbeded in wood. Blade over 4' are VERY TEMPERMENTAL & have to be releveled with hammer, anvils & English wheels to keep their FLEX/BREAK POINT PRESICE..

[@AFHProjects]

Nice! Yeah I let them hammered and maintenanced in shop. Thanks for the comment!

[@mikelskelley]

Can a Gide or stop be fitted to the cut side so when you push the log too it will stop for you and then you will not need to adjust the back end of the log each time, good to see it al working for you, like all old things it will always need to be tinkered with ( worked on)

[@AFHProjects]

Thank you! The spot is variable in location. It depends what is the cut with. I line up the cut with the carriage ribs. Just testing, but if real cuting will begin then I need at least 2 more men.

[@mikewilliams2072]

I think the carriage has little raised stops built in you just have to push the log against them

[@thedolphin5428]

Just a little point. When adjustjng the knife alignment at 3:00, you correctly used the straightedge along the blade and the knife's foot, but not along the blade to the knife's tip. A bit of a push and bend as you did is not the best way. Shimming under one side of the foot into best alignment is the better way.

[@AFHProjects]

You have right! I just tried to align the blade with a log sled, but it's more accurate when align without the blade, just use the collar. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!

Judging buy the look of those saw teeth you have carbide bit soldered onto the saw. Have you considered bit and shank. Even though the kerf is wider you can change damaged teeth in a matter of a few minutes and be cutting again. Carbide requires diamond wheels. Bit and shank can be sharpened with a regular grinder stone.
