That young man really is an expert. Knowing what to do is good, but being able to explain it to others is great.

[@S_uperpants]

He did well considering he had a bit of distraction under the machine 😂😂

[@Otherrandomguy42]

​​​@@S_uperpantsjust because you lust after teenagers doesn't necessarily mean that he wasn't just being professional there to do his job 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️. I can see about 80% of the dudes in the comment section here have been reported to HR at their jobs for sexual harassment more than once.

[@DHGo-ex7ns]

This young gentleman is extremely proficient at aligning the Woodmiser. I'm very impressed at this young man knowledge and ability to alight a very complex piece of sawmill equipment. I didn't know there were so many adjustments needed to align a sawmill to produce consistent products. Not only for consistent products out but for the life of the saw mill performance.

Don’t lose this video, you’re going to need it for future reference 😊

[@steven.h0629]

It's more like a six hour video, perhaps longer.

[@JH-11115]

A true gearhead at the next level. Although Grandpa was definitely absorbing everything Andrew threw down in lockstep...surprise, surprise. This ranks as one of the best productions ever and now Wood-Mizer can reference all customers to this outstanding training video. Jade's camera shots were incredible, Em's questions for clarification were timely...the whole thing was spot on. A huge "well done" to everyone involved today!

👍👍👍

[@dieterkoch6563]

Fantastic videography. That kid knows his stuff and his concentration is next level. It had to be with those two girls crawling all around the machine! One of your best all-round videos!

[@pscheidt]

Best day of his life. Hire him to come out every three months. Looks like you found out the reason blades were breaking.

[@paytonruss55]

Man this machine has a whole lot more to it than what you would think aye. Not just how to run it but maintenance, alignment, blades etc... Its actually pretty cool to see this you guys give us all a better understanding for this machine this is cool 😎 thank you Andrew

[@spidersinspace1099]

This was a great video. So nice to see young people with their heads on straight. PS….Great video work Jade.

What a super knowledgeable young man, give that kid a raise , was good to c grandpa absorbing the knowledge as always great video

[@Sailor-Man-Dave]

Andrew is a very knowledgeable and skilled young man! Looks like that company is lucky to have him.

[@ericcartrette6118]

This old saw filer learned a thing or two! I commented on your short about broken blades that it was the lack of proper annealing on the butt weld. But I can see how riding on the guide flange would break blades. The guide blocks we used in the mill where I worked didn't have any sort of flange on the back. Great, informative video!

[@marckimbrell4645]

That young man knows his stuff and has superior concentration. Great JOB!!

[@profdave2861]

This tech is not only knows the process well, but it’s clear from his explanations to Emerald that he truly understands what he’s doing. It’s one thing to be able to follow a complex process by wrote - but when you can explain not only how, but why your are doing it as well as the mechanics of it - that’s a well trained and very capable tech!

This young man is amazing. I don't think I would attempt all this myself.

[@CecilTreadwell]

It is so important to know how many work hours need to go by for this to be done. Also when your cuts start to go off. He can probably recommend the best blades too unless they sell their own in house ones.

[@rf005]

Good thing you have it on video everything needs to be done in proper order.

[@bay9876]

I was thinking the same thing. It's really smart to film the disassemly of a complicated machine to know what goes where or in this case how to correctly calibrate.

[@stuartrinker]

And I thought having my little home owner mill was a pain. This guy did good.

[@richardsevack]

Very interesting...so many adjustment points...young feller knows his stuff 👍

One of the girls needs to marry this boy! Expertise like this needs to be in the family. Not to mention he seems to be a solid, regular guy, a rare trait these days.

[@robertmw1475]

He works for WoodMizer. If he didn't understand the machine, maintenance, alignment, and how to keep up with it's mechanics, he wouldn't work for them, same as anyone who would work for them would need to and learn through the company. That machine is not hard to understand the mechanics of.

[@ronallen6578]

Yea, I'm late viewing this. It's amazing just how many measurements were off. A little here and a little there adds up to quite a lot. Hopefully this will take care of the breaking blade issue. Somewhat surprised that Woodmiser doesnt have a fine adjustment manual control for setting those critical set-ups. Maybe the next re-design will address it. Very informative video. Hang on to it 😂😂

[@eqrc7587]

Great Video Ladies and Gentlemen 👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻

[@johngroark2012]

Does the roller alignment explain all the broken blades?

It’s possible, but not the ones that break on the weld

Great question.

I wonder how long his training was, this guy definitely knows his stuff. Thanks for another educational video.

[@lardo666]

Emerald - if you want to predict how far '3 flats' will move - you can. Find the size of the bolt (say 3/8 UNC) and look up the pitch (16 TPI). 3 flats is 1/2 a turn, so the bolt moves 1/2 of 1/16 or 1/32 of an inch. Now, if the adjustment isn't in a straight line, but pivots around something (as in the blade tilt) - there's one more step. You need to measure two distances - adjuster to pivot and pivot to measurement point. The movement of the measurement is the adjuster movement times measurement distance, divided by adjuster distance. (Look up first and second class levers for details). A bit of maths to do (a one-off task for each adjustment) but could make it quicker to adjust 'right first time' - maybe useful with cold fingers in the winter. The other way is to ask Grandpa if he has a 'dial gauge' to spare. Rig up a stand to support this and you can see the adjustment taking effect as you move it - no maths needed! (Well - apart from converting the gauge (in thousandths of an inch) into 1/16th (62.5 thou) or what the maker asks for - you'll quickly learn these numbers) It's great to see you wanting to understand your machine - that effort will pay dividends in the future. Stay safe y'all and enjoy the summer.

[@scottsoper]

After you have done it a few times you will just kinda know how far to turn it like Andrew does. But it is fun to describe it in terms of Mathematics!

such a long process at all the various points but so important in the final quality of the product you're selling to your clients. For a young fellow he demonstrated incredible patience in the process. The video is 24:30 but as I watched I am wondering what the total time Andrew spent do the alignment and calibration .

[@floydferguson5366]

Great video!

ANDREW. ,,,HAS MY VOTE----. GREAT ASSET TO LUMBER CAPITAL,NOW AN IN THE FUTURE.!!¡!¡!¡¡!

[@CecilTreadwell]

I sure wish you had a protective shroud over it. Andrew can advise about that. This tutorial should have taken place when you first bought the machine.

[@byronlabelle7569]

As a machinist it was interesting to see what procedure to "zero" out this production bandsaw was involved. For the CNC machines they have a "machine" zero already programmed in & everything goes off of that.

[@jeffreyzampieron5254]

The reason you need two positions for the height calibration is that two points define a line. The computer will interpolate between the 30" and 6" transducer values to calculate the actual head height values. This assumes that the transducer is linear in that region and that the ADC errors are small relative to your readings.

[@luijacat]

When should I ask you out? After I get 250k followers? You all are killing it! Love the show

[@NSResponder]

There's a whole lot more adjustability in that mill than I would have guessed. Very interesting.

Useless to me, but great the company is involved, "standing behind" their product. Does WM have such videos on their site? I complained that their oil filter location could have been better. Big UP for doing your own quality control ladies.

when you buy a guitar from a shelf new, it still needs adjustment for it to play right and only someone with the right experience and eye can do it. But you see many just put the guitar back in the case and store it somewhere. So good thinking to get this saw setup

[@JesseJames-wj8ft]

As expected, quite a detailed procedure for aligning a machine such as this and, as stated, will be good for future reference for anyone with the same machine. Should become 2nd nature after a few adjustments. No rollers/guides/bearings needed replacing ?

Glad you have a video...now we know what he knows. Find those alignment tools & get a set. Machines need calibration also. Make sure to keep a date stamp to determine when they go out of whack to know when and what to look for. About every year for some of ours, some every day. Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance. Not a reference to logging equipment. Thermo forming in aviation for the record. Different world entirely, but all machines are pretty similar, they all use mechanics & computers nowadays.

So, a sawmill isn't just plug and play? I didn't think it would be. Lots to learn, remember, and put in motion as a sawmill owner. Having a technician make a service call once in a while is probably a good idea.
