[@RandyFields]

Gorgeous wood! Great content, Dan! Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks Randy!

Those boards look majestic!

[@MacJackal]

Yeah Eastern Red Cedar really is a unique looking wood to cut into. That pink sawdust is pretty wild.

I have to wear a respirator when I mill cedar. Love it but it gets to my sinuses. Great looking material you got there.

[@MacJackal]

Yeah it's not the healthiest wood to breath in. If the wind is in my face I usually try and cover up. Thanks for watching!

Awesome content, Sir. I've got a 130max itching to be setup in my garage. Keep up the good work!

[@MacJackal]

Thank you very much! Well you are about to have a ton of fun! Enjoy your mill.

[@gregnelson5230]

would it be better to seal the end grain of the cant before millling?

[@MacJackal]

Yeah it's way easier to just seal the ends when it is still in log form. I just try to seal them right after I buck them to size so I don't have to worry about it. If you try and seal them as a cant, you have to wait for them to dry before milling them up. I Use Anchor Seal 2 and it takes 3-4 hours for the wax to set up in normal conditions. And if you try to seal them once they are boards it just takes longer and is a pain.

Cool! Getting ready to commence, to start , to pull the trigger on a mill. Lol. Have you noticed that the 126 saw head doesn’t oscillate nearly as much as the 130s ? Thanks man. Great to the point video

[@MacJackal]

I've never ran a 130 but generally the only time I have any shake from mine is if my rails aren't level or square but that's an easy fix. That's very exciting for you though! Have fun with your mill once you commence, start and pull the trigger!

[@terryatpi]

@@MacJackal I’ve watched one billion (pinky to the lip) milling videos. Seems like the 126 is a more stable platform. Not to mention I don’t have many giants to mill. Thanks again

[@MacJackal]

Haha, I'm sure you are going to love whatever you get. I can't get enough of my mill!
