HOW IT WORKS: Wood-Mizer Sawmill

HOW IT WORKS: Wood-Mizer Sawmill. The Wood-Mizer video the internet has been longing for! Or something like that.

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

Jason, Great video!, Well worth the watch, the 15 minutes flew by! All good stuff !!! Thanks, learned alot !

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, John!

[@larrybourne8430]

Jason I have a 2019 LT40 and you explained the functions and systems of the mill even better than Woodmizer does in its promotional videos. Great job!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! That’s exactly why I did it.

[@dennisfahlstrom7422]

Jason, I concur. Mine is an old Norwood and I like the features your Wood Mizer has - particularly the hydraulics and that bark remover. I wish mine had those options. I thought you had the family away and were going to crank out more vids this past week. I guess the weather got in the way. I have friends over in Coos Bay and know that nice weather is an occasion for celebration for them.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Dennis I was able to make three videos but yes, we had over 11 inches of rain in January.

[@deangelolangston199]

dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf recently :)

[@joziahkeanu1465]

@Deangelo Langston Definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D

[@pacificcoasthiking]

Awesome big guy. Question on this video. I see you operating the hydraulics without the motor and re charging system going. I always found the draw to be a bit too much if you have a problem log and have to manipulate it a bunch. Kind of hard on the battery eh? I had an old lt35, then a brand new LT40HD, for about.....well...for over 20 years and four new motors. As far as I am concerned, a single mast and wood mizer are the best. So many irregular logs and two masts is just one more problem you don't have. Good job on the video amigo.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I was running the hydraulics that way so I could be heard in the video. Normally the engine would be running. I had filmed an explanation of that but for whatever reason, the footage wasn’t saved.

[@jeffkatzer]

Very interesting. My father-in-law had a Wood Miser mill way back in the 80's, but it was just a basic model. We used it to build our 2nd log house. After the house was done he was constantly handling requests from everybody in the area (Easton,WA) to mill up timbers for their projects. Eventually my mother-in-law (a dear sweet lady) made him sell it because he was well into his 80"s and folks were working him like a rented mule. :-) We moved my in-laws over to Everett to live with us. My father-in-law lived to age 96, and enjoyed many years with his 5 great grandsons. Thanks for the video reminder of those good times.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s an awesome story, Jeff. I know the feeling of be “the guy with a sawmill”😬

[@offgridsweden]

Awesome video man. Would love to have a mill like that. I use a manual chainsaw mill from Logosol right now. Have a great weekend, Andreas 🇸🇪

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thanks, Andreas. You too!

[@RodgerHarrell]

Have you done a video on all the equipment needed to run a business as a sawyer? Minimum truck size. Trailer to haul logs to the saw. Equipment to handle logs. I’ve seen enough of your videos to get an idea? But it would be great to see it all in one video. Also logistics of taking saw to the logs or visa versa. Taking finished lumber to yard or to the customer. Lots of us love those back stories. Thanks!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s a great idea, Rodger! I haven’t but it sounds great! Stay tuned!

I might add for those who don't know, that the clearest wood is on the outside third of connifers. The inside 2/3rd is roughly where commons come from. But that is another video. Right?

Just watched your video Jason. Just great, I now understand more of the Wood-Mizer Sawmill then even Wood-Mizer tells you. Thank you Jason.

[@graysquirreltreeservice7299]

Ty 👍👍👍just got my lx250 cutting answer a couple questions I had,I assume u could set simple and take off the round with first cut then it would follow increments after that correct?👍👍😁😁

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s correct!

[@guyrobinson7354]

Jason, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a sawmill. I really don't want to drop 20,000 on one. I like the idea of a trailer-mounted setup. What model would you recommend in the 10 to 15,000 range? also a single post or double post like the LX150.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Probably the lt15 go. I don’t think there’s a trailer option for the lx-150. Woodmizer.com would be able to answer any questions you might have. You might also look into a used unit to get a little more bang for your buck.

[@TheSmartodd]

Couldn't be clearer! Thank you!. Only have one question - how is it that it cuts the same thickness all the way down the log, even though the log is never perfectly level??

[@NorthwestSawyer]

It saws parallel to the deck. Once you cut one side of a log, roll it 180 degrees, you make even cuts.

[@danielhawkins1412]

Very Interesting on maitenance on how you keep the mill happy and trouble free for longevity.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I’m not sure if you’re asking about maintenance or not but I recently made a video on maintenance.

[@markthibaudeau9120]

Great video thanks!! it did exactly what you were wanting to explain and questions I had. Are the rollers an add on? Did you make a video explaining how to use the rollers with a say 20 inch end to a 16 inch end?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

The “rollers” called toe boards are factory. They’re used to center the pith. I don’t have a video on that subject specifically.

[@jmtplittleguy3042]

Very clear to me Nice job

[@20447Medic]

What are you using for blade lubrication? Straight water or soap water mix?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I was using straight water here. When sawing logs with pitch I add a half a cup of Pine-Sol and a little Dawn dish soap

[@donaldroyer2961]

If something ever happens to the hydraulic system can you still use the saw for cutting?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

You definitely could but the hydraulic system is very simple. It would be pretty easy to remedy any problems.

[@MONNIEHOLT]

Another great video, along with your how to set up the LT-35 and this one I believe between the two videos you have the best instructions on how to, I watched all of the content you provide and it was your videos and Nathan Elliott which convenced me to purchase a brand new LT-35

The guides sit a little lower than the wheels.

[@wt5381]

What is the sawdust exhaust? Did that come with your Wood-Mizer mill?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

The sawdust chute did come with the mill.

[@greysonvalleyrrbarnesville152]

Where do you judge the speed it goes thru the log while cutting. Seems no one ever talks about it.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Wood-Mizer recommends sawing as fast as the wood will allow. It’s really something you have to get a feel for. You can’t really go too slow but you’ll definitely know if you’re going too fast.

[@chrism8812]

Thank you for a great explanation. I am considering buying a lt35 and this was very helpful

[@TheBeardedWoodworker]

Fantastic in depth video Jason! I've always wanted to ask, but never did, what you were doing after each cut you would slam up a lever....now I know that that disengages the wheel. I know i keep saying this, but I really can't wait to see it working in real life!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

We need to get you and Andrew over here soon. I see a KZbin epic event!

[@geoffreykail9129]

So the simple set does not include the saw kerf?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

No because different blades have different thicknesses. You have to figure out how much you lose in a cut and add it to your thickness.

Great vid, what do you use for your water mix? Pine sol and dawn? What ratio? Do you use water every cut or do certain woods not need water?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

For wood with a lot of pitch I use half a cup of pine-sol and a few squirts of dawn dish soap. Most other wood I just use water to cool the blade. I don’t run water on reclaimed wood.

Seen the comment about water on the blade, check out the cleaner used on cotton picker spindles, good for the environment, won't stain cotton so it won't stain ur reclaimed wood. Just a few ozs per 5 gal water, good hand cleaner and great to wash the pets with. Here's a link - cottonpickerspindlecleaner.com

[@arizonabladebroker5010]

i have noticed that the woodmizer saws have some bounce in the cutting head, does that show up in the flatness of your cut?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I see that in every cut but it never seems to translate to the lumber. Hard or softwood it’s always laser straight.

Cool, I’m looking at a used lt40 and I like a lot of the productive features but didn’t know what to think about the cantilever style head. Thanks.

[@leiframbjor8462]

I have a question about how the 12 volt hydraulic power unit is powered? Or charged from the sawhead. Thanks, great videos!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

The battery is housed in the sawhead. It charges from an alternator on the saw. There is a copper power strip on the saw deck that makes contact when the sawhead is at the from of the deck to power the hydraulic pump.

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Great job! I just got my LT35 w/ Hydraulics that I ordered over a year ago. Stepped up from the LT15GO. The controls will take a little getting used to but I am sure pretty quickly it will be like second nature. I like the way you used the clamp to turn the wood to avoid chewing it up with the log turner. At one point in your video I was wondering what was on the log support and then realized it was your GoPro :)

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Congratulations, Jeff! I stepped up from a manual mill too. You’ll have the controls down in no time.

[@MattyMattnj1]

I just binged watched your woodmizer videos all day as I'm in the market to get one myself for my property in Upstate New York by the Canadian border. I'm torn between going with a trailerable model or fixed unit. I noticed you trailer at around what I'm assuming is your own property? What do you think the pros and cons are. Seems to me I could bring the logs to the mill and have it in a pole barn or some kind of enclosure, love to hear your thoughts...

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Actually I’ve seen several people who have set their mills up in a fixed location and then pulled the axel out which would make it easier to work around not having the tire in your way every pass. The LT 35 only comes as a trailer unit but once you get it where you want it, you can certainly do what suits you best. I do mill on-site for people so leaving mobile works best for me.

[@Logjam5]

Good idea for a vid.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you. It came from a friend of mine.

[@jeremywestra6601]

Great video. One question: when you made the last 2 cuts to produce 4x6s with the simple set you accounted for 1/8" kerf so the simple set dropped 4 1/8" each time. It looks like you got three perfect 4x6s so I am assuming that when you made the cant you did the math to cut off flitches to produce a cant which was 6" by 12 1/4"-- that accounts for two kerfs at 1/8" each? What if you had a bigger log and were making something thin like 3/4" boards, do you account for all of the kerf cuts when making the first cant?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s a great question. The saw can only cut down to within an inch or so of the deck. When I cut thinner material like fence boards at 5/8” thick, I just cut as many as I can until the saw won’t go any lower. You end up with a board that’s around an inch thick on the bottom. By the way, you’re correct about my math. I cut the cant 6”x12 1/4”

[@jeffleleux9512]

The log turner has one or two Rams and is it ran by one leaver?

[@slhasebroock]

Great overview, thankyou! I have a 1987 Woodmizer LT40HD that I am restoring. From what I understand 1987 was the 1st year they had the hydraulics. That Simple Set is really nice! Nothing like that on my old 1987! Dream of one day having a new or newer machine. But I have enjoyed working on my 1987 WM antique! Cool to see how the basic design of the machine has stayed the same over the years! Thanks again for the great video!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thanks, Steve! They really haven’t changed much over the years, have they? Best of luck with your project!

[@timothyball3144]

So it looks like a little tension in that cant. Question about the simple set though. You set the measurement then cut the log. Do you have to push a button when you get back to the end of the log? It must have an encoder reading the height movement. Have you heard of problems with that?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

There was a touch of tension in that one which I don’t usually see in cedar. On the simple set, you set the measurement once and that’s it. Every time you fit the down lever it goes to the next cut.

[@johnmarshall7100]

Great job explaining all the functions of the mill! I like the way woodmizer set up the levers starting with the log lift on the far right and the log clamp on the far left. I guess the one lever that raises the side supports them switches to the log roller makes since. If you have the mill cutting moving forward on its own will it stop on its own or will it crash into a stop at the end? The debarker looks like a must have item prolonging blade life. I would imagine that after getting use to the simple set it must be a fast and accurate way to cut lumber! Great video!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! You can definitely crash into the log arms. I’ve done it a time or two.

[@ronwood7040]

Great Job, I have the LT35 also. I love it. Maybe I missed it did you mention about water? Thumbs up. Ron

[@billtramel5461]

Great video! I just got my LT35 last fall so I'm still figuring things out myself. Here's a possibility for a future video: mobile set-up and tear-down. For example, as a relative newby myself, one thing I have issues with from time to time relates to the log loader. During transport the loader is chained to the log turner arm, so the turner arm has to be raised first to de-tension the chain to lower the loader arms. And then when preparing the mill for transport it has to be done in reverse. Seems easy, but I always have to stop and think when I'm doing this and then find the right spot for the chain to hook on the turner arm. Keep the videos coming!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Do you have any good or bad feeling about the Woodland Mills models?

Thank you! I had the HM 126. It was a great mill. I built it into a trailer and sold it for $2k more than I pad for it new. Not to mention the money I made with it. If you just plan to saw for yourself it’s a great option.
