Haddon Lumbermaker First Board

[@ryangwin1318]

Go lookup Haddon lumbermaker and you’ll see that Mr. Dale Haddon here, is a member of that family. He may not have invented it, but hes kin to the people that did and Im sure he has many many more miles on this device than the rest of us. Maybe instead of criticizing this man we should all pay attention and ask some questions. Theres no better value than that which comes from experience, and Im here because this man has the experience I need so I dont cut my damn leg off when I start milling all these Hurricane Michael trees. Thank you good sir for taking the time to teach me this for free. I can’t wait to get my hands on this thing.

You can go out and get a 4K mill, but this is what it is.

[@jacklowe3788]

Are you using skip tooth chain? For ripping is 30° tooth angle best? What is best length bar overall for 2x10 boards - Thanks for video-

[@dalehaddon591]

The chain is a cross cut, not skipping chain. A new or professionally sharpened should work fine. Bar length depends on size of log you’re cutting.

[@AlmightyKodiak]

I made a DIY Alaskan Mill and found a wedge helps keep the blade from binding. as for the Joker's comment about a rip chain, just ignore him. You did this correctly and for what you're doing.

[@dirtbleepdigger9911]

Rip chain does make a difference....I use one on Alaskan chainsaw mill....! Thanks

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Have tried full & semi-chisel, and ripping chain for milling, even got a good price on a reel of ripping chain. No noticeable difference in ease or quality of cut. When I'm gonna run pieces through a planer after, I just focus on keeping the cutters sharp, and depth gauges deep. (Getting ready for truckloads of black cherry.)

[@advancedanr]

Sure makes a difference when your chain is sharp. He had sawdust coming from the chain, not chunks of wood. But if you don't have a strong chainsaw I guess having a dull chain keeps the saw from bogging down.

Thank you Mr Haddon~

[@vicktdock]

I have a product similar to this one and haven't used it yet. Problem I see is running out of beam to atatch the guide 2x to. Any tricks to being able to use the whole beam to saw into 1x or 2x s?

[@dalehaddon591]

Not sure what you mean, "running out of beam" if you clarify I will try and answer your question.

[@vicktdock]

@@dalehaddon591 What I mean is the guide 2x4 is attached to the beam you are cutting, thus making it difficult to use the entire log. Unless of coarse you make a jig to hold the guide 2x separate from the log you're sawing. That clarify?

[@tylerrosborough9566]

@@vicktdock I rigged mine up on a couple logs that are heavy enough to not move while cutting and just longer than what I'm cutting then I adjust my rail (2×6 guide)with each cut .

Did you guys ever correct the misspelled word on your Lumbermaker's box?

[@maryhaddon]

yes, the next batch of labels we had it corrected.... thanks!

[@hedronshanon2589]

That's very neat of you...thanks for sharing

[@JW-ix1uy]

do you use a rip chain for cutting lumber? thanks

[@stefanodogg280]

I use the Stihl chisel teeth chains, they blow right through wood if you have a powerful saw

[@advancedanr]

If you want clean fast cut, yes. A ripping chain is just filed at different angles on the top and side of the cutter.

[@Logjam5]

Is this your product: Haddon lumber maker? Just curious.

[@gregbrooks9546]

Dale, I am wanting to cross cut a log like that to make wood circles for a wood floor and epoxy. However my miter saw only cuts 3 1/2" in diameter. Is there a way to cut up to 8" in diameter without a mill.

[@advancedanr]

Yeah, with a chain saw, an old wood hand saw, a bandsaw. Many ways to do it.

[@ВадимБородач-ц8ш]

Золотая доска получилась.

[@BR549guy]

It might help if you started with a sharpened chain, as well as using a rip chain. Jeez, you're making fairy dust in the video.

[@stefanodogg280]

Bet he's never properly sharpened and adjusted that chain

[@hanksmith4065]

Very good video. But I was thinking the same thing about a dull chain. Though it is red oak🤔

[@frandersongm]

Cadê os BR que serram sem guia e sem judiar da máquina? (Achei que ele iria cortar o peito do pé no início do vídeo)

[@kenjones2819]

awful close to left foot at start it appears

[@advancedanr]

Dull as that chain was it wouldn't matter, he'd know it was cutting his boot before it made it to his foot

[@danuwbroto5756]

mbsroh lah

[@terrymcclure688]

I went to the store bought a 2 by6 =$3.50 by the time you cut this one

[@bdub78dub90]

Try buying a hardwood 2x6 for that price, lol.

[@j.chriswatson6847]

@@bdub78dub90 Beat me to it.

[@Wedget]

Try cutting some Aussie hardwood, it creates a whole new ball game.

[@advancedanr]

You didn't buy red oak! That board would've cost you $$$$, that's if you can find one that size. I paid over $3 a foot for red oak crown molding and it was 2-3/4" X 5/8" Red oak isn't the same as Douglas fir

[@tomcurran1538]

Worth it now in July 2021.

[@kennkid9912]

2 by 6 is not a board. These guides are useless for producing boards that are about 1 inch thick. Too many passes.
