Did This Log BREAK The New Sawmill!?

[@BillyCarmen]

I love whatching Triple L and seeing the awesome things you all do and create. I'm very envious! You folks are talented and skilled in so many areas. Great videos. Thank you for using my Little Wizard and Lumber Wizard detectors too. I am honored to be in the company of Triple L Rustic. You folks are the real deal in so many ways. Thank you for all you do! Billy from Wizards.

[@TripleLRusticDesigns]

We greatly appreciate you Billy! We love our Lumber Wizard 5!!

[@isiahrowser]

The way you folded that blade was cool. 😂😂

[@kristylarson7832]

Excellent video! Love all the editing and different angles of camera work!

[@SleeperHoundDesign]

I'm over in Central Florida. It's cool to see mills in Florida doing their thing. Great job guys.

[@robbjerls2252]

Great video! I had no idea pecan was that tough thanks for some great content

[@jamesbooth5148]

Another great job for the wood mizer

[@michaelmaimone13]

Definitely a beautiful species of wood but wow is it tuff

[@stevecarney6750]

Nice video, those are pretty good looking slabs.

[@Jinxterman69]

Yes, TL, you did the only thing you could: add some human horsepower to the forward motion of the cutting head. Cutting pecan --or Elm, further north..or even some knotty hemlock out west, they can all overwhelm the mill. There is no adjustment in the 2 pulleys that power the forward motion... other than replacing the belt, you have to do what you did. That was the easiest & quickest solution. You got the pecan log cut, and made yourselves another $500 or so. Good job overall! PS: --Love your video editing ...the fast motion from time-to-time is greatly appreciated and impressive.

[@johanneslaxell6641]

You made a nice video 👍🏼💪🏼! If you go for carbide-blades you don't have to be so afraid... Checking is also money...

[@0xc1d34]

When in doubt try a fresh blade its the only thing going through the wood!

[@BeaverStateMilling]

I mill a lot of white oak. I have tried the 4 degree blades and have found the 10 degree works much better for me.

[@saintaugustine1715]

Good morning somebody was mentioning to put more lubrication on your blade it night help also put a wedge and release some pressure that might help also with my little hm126 wood land mill I cut an 18 inches live oak and that is what I did and it seam to help some and my blade was a 7 degree instead of the 10 for pine but pushing by hand is also different then automatic have a great day

[@Gearedweird22]

Good eye on the track slipping 👍 Lube your chain and track with ATF

[@jagdishprasadkhaitan4815]

Lovely superb Nice sawing.

[@-RONNIE]

Yeah that is smart to check your logs or wood in general for metal because if the blade hits something it could ricochet back and you or someone close to the mill could seriously get hurt.

[@rozabokin53]

Por cierto, Feliz Navidad y Feliz Año Nuevo!!

[@No1cares85]

Hey Guys, Have you tried using ATF on your tracks? My Dad has the non hydraulic version of this mill. That is what he uses on his. Automatic transmission fluid is a great lubricant, it also has good cleaning property's. Im a transmission builder by trade, so i keep him stocked in used ATF. If you have a local shop that rebuilds you might ask them to save you some. you just might get it for free.

[@dga5396]

What if you would have placed a wedge back at the starting of the cut. What would be the downward pressure against the blade.

[@Chuck59ish]

I was watching another video from another site last night and they were cutting a Maple log with the Alaskan chainsaw cutter and it was just peepered with metal, you could tewll from the black streaks in the wood, they had to a lot of chain sharpening on the saw, but in the end they found what looked like a railroad spike on the last cut and they had to use a couple of chainsaws to cut around the spike and pry the boards apart. Show how dangerous log cutting can be. The Pecan is a hardwood, and now you know why it's called a hardwood as opposed to Pine is a softwood.

[@rodneyevans5525]

I will never new that pecan wood was that tuff. Glad your got it done. Where I can buy a one of those?

[@leeskithree]

Never sawed Pecan before but I don't see it being harder than white oak and I have sawed plenty of that. I have a LT35HD and I have to walk next to the head anyway so thats no problem for me and yes I do have to help it a bit. I use Woodmizer Turbo 7's on all my hard wood and have no problems, I just make sure I use plenty of lube (water and dish soap) and it seems to work out just fine. Good luck

[@migueldias605]

Muito bom ver como trabalha com boa tecnologia e uma ótima limpeza no local de trabalho

[@firstjohn3123]

Just a thought. They make a Kevlar belts that might better serve. Did some soapy water from the blade/sawdust get on the belt maybe? That would have allowed it to slip. Once a drive belt slips a bit, they tend to start slipping more (due to being polished) unless tightened or having some resin applied. Although being allowed to slip at a certain point (as an engineered fail-safe) can be a safety thing as well. Great channel by the way. 👍👍

[@tinkernaut8736]

Everytime I've ever turned Pecan on my lathe it's a fight. It's hard as steel.

[@talegunner4414]

FROM THE INTERNET: Pecan has slightly lower strength values than some of the other species of Hickory, but it is still among the hardest and strongest of woods native to the United States.

[@henryparent1157]

Same problem with Locust. Wood was a little wet inside hard wood.

[@jamessanders8050]

I only use double hard blades for wood mizer they keep the edge longer than regular blades. Never used LA blades.

[@coyotiess]

How is your water drippage set!

[@adirondackwoodsman]

FYI, Woodmizer has a sharpening service that can reshaped if you hit metal, $9/blade.

[@wolverine1694]

I sawed a lightning struck white oak that cut that hard... hated to put the mill through that... some Ash cuts that hard also

[@thekiltedsawyer]

I would get some time milling with that saw before you tackle a log like that, plus you don't have a debarker option. I haven't heard of that being a problem, both my mills are the same power plant without a issue yet lol. Keep sawing & try Woodmizer 4° double hards 🧡👍💪💪 Safe sawing and keep us posted

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

What are you using for blade lube maybe the blade is dragging causing hi resistance

[@jameskolbell2167]

Not sure if it's possible but could you change the sprockets from belt to chain drive maybe bicycle chain size

[@wilder6891]

I am definitely no expert but it could have something to do with the log being so green. I think if you air dried the log for a few months it may go differently. Just a thought

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

no that is not the case the wetter the better

[@roberto.peterson9917]

What are using as lubrication

[@xrunner800]

I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but that bark will fall on the drive chain and get jamed in the sprocket on my saw.

[@garrettperkins5804]

It would seem to me you would need to slow the feed rate down on the harder woods.Give the blade time to clear itself .If you have a feed rate adjustment I would try that.Idont own or operate a saw mill ,but I have done work with sevsral types of saws on many types of lumber ,I would give Wood Miser a call before I started pushing on my saw too much.Good luck God bless.PS you may want to put wedges behind the cuts ever so often to relieve the pressure on the blade.

[@roberthayes8070]

Are those shelves nailed to that tree?

[@donaldslate4195]

Wood a debarker help? Not put bark chips in the saw cut.

[@luisrodriquez6358]

I see that Mike Morgan on Outdoors With The Morgans has a Wood-Mizer 150 with a debarker unit attached, do you think that a debarker would have helped in this case with the Pecan.

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

no

[@tonysmith5713]

Is it posable that the blade SET is not enough

[@jamessanders8050]

If your under roof or inside the lazer works great but if you cut out in sun light it doesn't show up very well at all .

[@paulcole2575]

Great video but where’s the boss gone 😊❤

[@karlscaife6970]

try increasing your lube and use a wedge on your starting end to get weight off of the blade

[@charlesward3231]

Theres a reason pecan has the nickname of pecancreate. The stuff is HARD. its the only wood i've tripped every breaker on all my machines while trying to work with it.

[@henkoosterhof5947]

Looked more like the motor would not turn in stead of a slipping belt.

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

Try a woodmizer 7 degree it is most suited for any thing you cut on your mill . Even if your getting free blade sponsor's it is not worth the hassle of poor wood cuts .

[@marktabacca4793]

Get you blades from Joe Maine

[@marktabacca4793]

Watch out of the woods You Tube he gets his blade from Joe Maine I looked up and his blades are cheaper

[@marktabacca4793]

Less money not made cheaper

[@daniellemay3058]

NEXT TIME TRY DIESEL AS A CHAIN LUBE!!

[@TKCoutside]

The mill misses mama running it maybe 🤔🙂🙂

[@waynenorton-se9vs]

nice looking slabs to bad it is so hard to cut

[@boblindstrom3479]

I'm not a sawyer but I've used the wrong blade on my jig saw, circular saw, cut off saw, many times. You are using too fine a blade. Go back to that pine blade and tell me I'm wrong. Good videos.

[@NONO-ic6fe]

Where's Zoe?

[@erniesmith1097]

GDAY MATE from brisbane Australia differently debark, bark contains silica,no good for blades. Try another different log if it slips put some honey on that pulley, it won't slip again.good luck.Ernie smith from brisbane Australia

[@davehanson6915]

Do you cut some Timbers for bowl turning. I live in Odessa Fl and would drive over for some pecan monkey ? ( what’s it real name) or splayed woods

[@larrylarson1274]

we will have some bowl blanks in the future. right now they are not available.

[@chrisdaniel1339]

What about slowing your travel speed even more so the blade has time to cut the extremely hard wood, if you try and go too fast there is more resistance and the drive motor cannot overcome the extra resistance

[@chadhenwood6007]

When I get my wood-mizer Im going to go with carbide blade from wood-mizer

[@johncriley1904]

Todd that you are not cutting ebony, coco bold, Jakob’s or other really dense woods.

[@Gokywildcats11]

Belt slippage

[@pathann4195]

Is it just me or is there no lubrication on the blade I don't see it if there is then maybe you need something that will help cut through pecan SAP from sticking to the blade

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

Please ignore all the comments about wedging and lube . Contact me if you have any questions .

[@claytonrathbun7007]

It seems to me it's leaving a lot of sawdust in the wood that might make it harder for the sawmill work harder

[@thess518]

I always use wooden nails in trees.

[@rozabokin53]

es que literal la esta patinando, creo que encontraron el limite de esa maquina, yo creo que una manual mas grande seria mil veces mejor!!

[@robertm348]

See, now you are wishing you bought the debarker!

[@larrylarson1274]

yeah, we opted not to get it, but there are certain logs that need it. We can always add it later.

[@burlseeker4680]

A Circular Sawmill or a Swing blade sawmill , would have cut through that Pecan log a lot faster .

[@dmeagal6378]

Hey, how are you? I am from Saudi Arabia and I have been following your channel since the start of broadcasting for a long time. Please, can you activate the translation in your channel into several languages, especially the Arabic language. Thank you very much and thank you very much

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

And I would bet your main engine drive belt is slipping . they stretch a lot in the first 20 hours and you cant see it .

[@johnmmiller]

It's all Larry's fault ... Lol

I disagree, ha

[@henrikr5724]

Where is female ät 🤨

[@ابومرتضىالموسوي-س4ج]

where is your baby

[@mgbill793]

The wavy cut is because they welded it together going the other way. When flipped it back around to make it cut in your direction the blade needed rolled or flattened. Seen this a thousand times on other videos.

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

These bands are flat

[@mgbill793]

@@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223 are the blades from Cooks saw? I use to use them and they are not always flat. I'd have to roll them right out of the box. Not dogging them in anyway.
