New Sawmill, New Blades! Sharpening These Beasts Means More Work For Grampa!

[@jakobrebeki]

Your so lucky to have a Grandpa like that good and working away in the background....

[@Z4Zander]

As a 70yo myself I can appreciate that he has been "relegated" to the nice clean and warm workshop.Needs a coffee maker and classic 70's rock in the background tho'

[@jakobrebeki]

@@Z4Zanderyes i can respect that. I am 60 and drive a 57 ton truck and trailer (semi) for a steel company. Now getting to the point when I should plan a move into the office and get out of wind swept, cold and rainy yards and construction sites I normally deliver to at all hours of the morning, noon and night. 5 more years and that's it. I can go boat fishing, hunting and spend more time with my family....

[@skygazer858]

@@jakobrebeki Hang in there. Speaking from experience, it's worth it. Retirement has been nice. I pulled the plug at 65 and am now ready to turn 68. Not a single regret except maybe not retiring a few years earlier.😁

I love every video with grandpa reminds me of my mentors .

[@ronbreach1704]

You might consider adding a blade welder to your equipment and buying your blades in a bulk roll then welding your own blades, we save a lot of money back in the day in our shop.

[@mriley4955]

Your log yard has come a long way since I started watching a couple years ago. And your videos have improved so so much. I love the E&J Productions logo. Nice work girls

Great Video, Grandpa! I do like that machine. Glad to see you wearing gloves handling those blades. Love the cowboy Boots!! Trev

[@stevet8121]

You're doing a great job Grandpa! When I was a saw filer, I had a 32 ft. band saw and 4, 26 ft. band saws to bench and sharpen every 4 hours. Plus 12 carbide tipped edger saws. It was a full time job. I miss the work.

[@raymondgorski5744]

Absolutely love this channel ❤❤❤emerald and jade ❤❤❤

[@glenshauf9990]

I really like the way you respect your grandfather and family, you will go a long way. Did you buy the sharpener from the people that made the mill

[@scottsoper]

The LT-70 WIDE Super Hydraulic Portable Sawmill, the BMS250 Bandsaw Blade Sharpener and the BMT200 250 Automatic Tooth Setter are all Wood-Mizer machines. LCLY is also using Wood-Mizer blades.

[@moregold]

I like the new E&J Productions logo. Great design!

[@AB-nu5we]

Even before Emerald mentioned a sharpening video upcoming in one of the earlier video's, I was curious as to how the new sharpening rig was going to handle the new, larger blades. Looks like no problem. Cool.

[@cliffjenkins6419]

Very good video. Excellent explaination of the sharpening proceedure. Doesn't hurt to see the pups development too! Cheers from HB NZ

[@turbosagaren]

Hey there, interesting to follow you're channel, I'll been running Lt 40 for 10 years and Lt 70 for 20 years. When I'm sharpening my blades am always run them twice in the sharpener. I'm have the original grindstone, it is now 20 years old and working well. Good luck to you all.

[@tommydorsey5055]

Grandpa: MVP!

[@exotictones1054]

The puppies are sure happy.😂

[@ronallen6578]

Just a suggestion. Our saw sharpener use to mark the beginning of the blade with a piece of chalk on the 1st tooth. Now granted he was sharpening blades that when new were 12" wide and about 40ft in length. Yea, they were pretty big, but basically the same process. Good luck

[@calvinjohnson7806]

Thanks grandpa

[@youtubeurevil]

Looks like You have your grandpas eye set unmistakable !!!

[@chuckolson5825]

What happed to the carbide blades?

[@JohnWoodis]

We will us them on the 15

[@scottsoper]

@@JohnWoodisI was wondering if you still had the 15.. where will it be set up?

[@Danzilly]

Glad yall have a sharpener your saving alot money on blades. Grandpa has a lot of wisdom hope yall are asking him questions there only here for a short while.

[@MegaTruckguy]

Super fantastic job😊

[@davidbross6942]

I have watched videos from several saw mills. Some mills use circular bsaws and others (like yours) use band saws. What goes into deciding which type of blade to use in a mill. Thanks.

[@chipwhitely1490]

Great videoThank you

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Good Job Sir

[@ssmith2019]

Thanks Gramps ! 😁

[@stephenwilliams4118]

Curious as to how many sharpening's you will get out of a blade and how many sharpening's out of a wheel as well

[@patrickgroves4047]

Love the shop!

[@ranjitsian5481]

Good work 👍

[@patrickgroves4047]

The dogs were an extra touch!

[@rickroberts2198]

Grandpa rocks! He may want to teach y'all how to sharpen too. Cross training helps to run the whole operation more efficiently. Nice work, nice machine!

[@ronsamborski6230]

I don’t think Grandpa will be doing much dancing though! Save those parts of the videos for Emerald and Jade. 😄

[@dek779]

Jade and Emerald dancing and grandpa are the best videos

[@RonChibnik]

How long to sharpen each blade? How many times can you sharpen before discarding? How much do they cost? You guys are interesting to watch. Love your channel!

[@peterm.eggers520]

Were the carbide toothed blades not worth the extra cost?

[@thomasboese3793]

Remember that tools that use "carbide" tips have blocks of carbide glued on the tool. Hitting something it shouldn't, like a nail or chunk of metal, can destroy the individual blocks of carbide. Sharping a carbide tool is one thing, replacing blocks of carbide is something not done in the field, if at all.

[@peterm.eggers520]

@thomasboese3793 Yes, a carbide tip that is knocked loose would be very difficult to replace. A few teeth randomly missing is not disabling. Also, carbide toothed blades are used for demolition work where nails and screws are common. In fact, carbide toothed blades are used to cut metal, including steel. The number of teeth per inch, edge angle, and tooth offsets are generally quite different between wood and metal blades, but there are good compromises to create wood cutting blades that also handle embedded nails or even screws.

so much work for grandpa note spelling lol. constant maintenance and upgrades to keep up,very impressive advanced sharpening process and set up

[@jmert_5859]

How often do you find bullets in the logs you harvest?

[@52Thompson]

You go Brother!

[@dugganwoodworks]

What are you doing with your old blades? Will they fit the shingle mill?

[@JohnWoodis]

Yes GP

[@dynacoman7363]

Are the new LT70 blades thicker.. giving more sawdust and less board feet from a log ? How does the surface finish compare.. LT40 vs LT70 with higher blade speed ? Rougher, equal or smoother ?

[@morgan79347]

That's a lot of sharping.

[@tiletec1]

?why don't you use carbide blades? Appreciate the insights.

[@johnhenderson299]

Quite the sharpener

[@bwillan]

Are you using carbide blades on your LT70 mill?

[@JohnWoodis]

Not yetGP

[@ИгорьКулешов-н1я]

КРАСОТКА!!!❤❤❤

[@bio-techlarry9602]

I see ya found Grandpa. Is there any difference in the thickness of the kerf using the new mill compared to the old mill?

[@jiminalaska]

I was told you had to grind the gullet and the back side of the tooth, basically grind the entire profile. Has that changed per woodmizer?

[@JohnWoodis]

The grinding wheel contacts the entire profile of each tooth GP

[@5hawks]

It's such a joy to see you Em lol! The perfect woman. And Roxy too! Look at the machines we have now! We've had to bumble along doing everything by hand in the old days. (still do)

[@northwoodsguy1538]

[@ElmarDertnig]

What does the Boss say about the new mill? I am very interested to hear his opinion and thoughts.

[@davidmahoy4478]

Excellent information and comparison, how long does it take to run a blade through the sharpener one time with the larger blade?

[@jamesrussell6870]

Turbo blades leave tooth tip too vulnerable to breaking off. I switched back to double hard..

[@denisedeon3336]

a good man is always happy when the is working... the less time he is alone with his thoughts the better

[@NSResponder]

Besides the speed, have you noticed a difference in the quality of the cut? Does the wider blade make for a smoother cut at all?

[@ronaldbrown7780]

Good Job Ladies 🚺

[@scottprimrose6966]

I don't recall if it was said what happened to the LT40.

[@daveklein2826]

Not important

[@scottprimrose6966]

@@daveklein2826 It's not?

[@VoxOptimatium]

It went back to the dealer from whom they purchased the LT70, presumably for a credit of some sort.

[@scottsoper]

The LT-40 was traded in on the LT-70.

[@scottsoper]

@@daveklein2826It is very important, in my opinion, where the LT-40 went.

[@GaryHeald-uv5im]

I'm guessing that you can use the LT40 blades on your smaller mill- the LT15 (if you still have it) - should be a life time supply at this point.

[@scottsoper]

yes.

[@56Spookdog]

Did the old blades go with the saw or are you going to do something with them like make knives out of them?

[@jeffpoteau4357]

With the blades dulling up so fast is your feed rate thru the log at a recommended setting?

[@scottsoper]

The blades in terms of board feet seem to be lasting about the same it seems to me. They are however producing about double the board feet of lumber. so there are at least double the blades to sharpen.

[@newhampshire-bob1604]

I noticed on your new mill that you don’t have a debarker, this accessory might save some on your blades. But that is quite the machine. I could not justify having one, you have to be able to sell the lumber and we have too many people around trying to do that.

[@scottsoper]

The new LT-70 WIDE does have a debarker going in front of the blade. However you may be looking for it on the right from where the controls are, like on the LT-40: look for it on the left on the LT-70.

[@paulslocomb6805]

Do you have to reset the teath on the bigger blades?Do you do it before or after sharpening ? I'll bet the new pavilion(sp) will look fantastic!

[@scottsoper]

Yes one has to reset the teeth on the larger blades also and that is done before sharpening.

[@bclohan5146]

Oh my, viscous dog fight 😂. Sorry if you have already answered this but what blades are you running?

[@gkindustrialmachine1]

Tool tip: If you want to sharpen faster turn the playback speed to 2x, get those blades done in half the time

[@arkyboy14]

How long does it take to change the bigger blades out on the 70?

[@matkremzar5474]

2 mins ?

Oh ur hair heates me every time 🤩 Oh boy😅

[@caseykelso1]

I see no sparks at the top of tooth, just down in the valley?

[@daveklein2826]

So?

[@JohnWoodis]

You should only get a very faint spark at the tip or you are grinding too deep. GP

[@jamesrussell6870]

Not to mention full swoop of the gullet..

[@glenshauf9990]

Have you sold the old mill yet
