OS 27 Frontier Sawmill Adjusted and Checked Out-First Run

[@josephmartin8160]

Your video will really help me not to make the same mistakes when assembling my sawmill. Thank you for the heads up and info. Good job explaining everything.

[@tractorman4461]

It really wasn't too much of a problem to assemble at all. The biggest issue I have is the one side of the cable spreads out as it winds around the pipe, making the one side raise slightly higher than the other. I can NOT get it to roll with a tight winding like the other side, but fortunately it's only about 1/32 in difference. I was thinking to do a general walk around now that I've run a good amount of material through it. One thing for sure is don't crowd it in the hardwoods, because the blade will be forced backwards on the drive wheels just slightly which will result in rapid blade ejection and destruction. And it will sound like a deer rifle going off !! I found out that with the Missus running the mill with the hardwoods, we have much better luck. She is blessed with more patience than I plus she just can't push as hard. You will enjoy your mill, but make sure it is plumb and level and the bedframe is perfectly straight. Thank you for the continued interest Joseph.

[@puropadre]

Very helpful info. I just assembled my OS27 but haven’t used it yet. The Briggs & Stratton 13.5 hp engine would not idle, so I had to take it in to a service center for repair/ adjustment. The only mistake I made so far was NOT getting the electric start. It’s gets old pull starting that engine. Thanks for posting the video!

[@tractorman4461]

I learned my lesson about electric start with the De Walt power washer. It has a big engine that I hate to pull start. Now that its got a few years on it, it takes a bit to get it going. I LOVE the electric start on the 13 1/2 hp Briggs. I added a couple of extra log dogs by making my own cross pipes out of 1'' galvanized well pump pipe and am going to add more log back stops down the length of the 21' bed. I've got a few other upgrades planned as well. Did you purchase the trailer option, build your own or set it on ground bunks.... ??

44 You know for a video like this left me with no words to comment how I experienced the entertainment factor to see it works so beautiful from the un-box till the first cut. I will try, and that is a very satisfactory video to see it working, the cedar log looks like a beautiful wood, I can just imagine how fast that machine can pay itself off if you sell that solid wooden planks. I am sure Missus 44 is proud of you, the trailer looks brand new and part and parcel of the whole package. Well done my friend, that was time and money well spend

[@tractorman4461]

I'm really glad to see you thoroughly enjoyed the build Jan !! It was a really fun project even though most all the welding was done in the sun at 95* to 100* F ( 35C to 38C). Well, not the MIG welding inside the shed. But all the stick welding was. We are really pleased with the outcome of the project and the lumber that's come off it so far is excellent. Thank you my friend for stopping by for a visit !!

Things to watch for. Reading the manual can help with assembly. Having you go over all the things in the process and explain any issues is invaluable. 😁😎

[@tractorman4461]

Well, I'm hoping that pointing out some of the things I didn't pick up on too quickly might help another first time owner of one of these or similar mills during their assembly. The Missus just told me tonight that there was a Blu Ray disc in the packet of info....but we don't have a player. So I am sure watching that would have been exceptionally beneficial.

[@OldSneelock]

@@tractorman4461 Funny how the tech lags behind the times. I have VHF tapes for my table saw, lathe, and planer. I'm a pack rat so I have the Curtis Mathis VHF camera, 35 years old and counting, and a deck to play them on. I also have CD's and DVD's with pictures and software on them. I kept one laptop just because it has a player in it. We have a drawer full of Blue Ray disks and a Sony Blue Ray player purchased with the flat screen TV 15 ago. 🤔 We don't watch them often. We have Alexa play music instead of the radio or records. We watch on demand with Roku setup on the TV. A good $20K in hardware and software sitting on shelves getting dusted. 😁😎 Just to prove I am slightly off, I have micro floppy disks and even a few 5 1/4 floppy disks. Yes. I kept a tower and external drive to read them. By now the drive belts are old enough I expect them to break. 😁😎 I bought hardware to allow me to transfer files to thumb drives, extermal solid state hard drives, and the "cloud".

Several DVD's as well from hvac manufacturers and suppliers with tons of info as long as we had the laptops to access them, which I did and still do. However we've never had a Blu Ray...LOL. We gave away our VHS player to a young single gal with three kids that needed it, plus about 50 kids vhs tapes. And I forgot I had a service and training vhs for my JET metal lathe. LOL Up a creek with that move. But no matter I never watched the tape anyway. I've kept some of the first generation thumb drives filled with equipment information and with a USB port so readily available they are still relevant. I'll pass those to a friend still actively in the trade. Now I've got SD cards and higher capacity thumb drives out the wazoo and God only knows how long they will be relevant.

[@tractorman4461]

Yes, and surprisingly easy to push through the log. As long as the blade is in good shape. Next thing I gotta come up with is a way to sharpen these blades. They are only good for about 600 board feet of hardwood as I understand.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I enjoyed the video. I am pulling my cutting head Monday and bringing it back to the shop. Another bearing went out. My recommendation is to replace all the bearings once the first bearing goes down. $80 worth of bearings is very reasonable for a year of hard work. I wished I had of went with the OS27 as the OS23 has been a little small on more than one occasion. I opted for the smaller engine, which was also a mistake. I just ordered an 18 hp electric start engine for mine. I was going to buy a 14hp Predator engine, but they are out of stock until next year. The 18hp is a bit overkill, but from my research, I think it will bolt up just the same. I ordered a heavy-duty clutch also. I was checking your video very closely to see how yours is set up. Great video.

[@tractorman4461]

I was wondering how long those China made sealed bearings would last. I figure a good set of grease able bearings from Browning would be my choice for replacement when the time comes. I'm not going to be sawing near the wood you saw in a given year so mine should be good for a while. And yes, I kind of already wish I'd have went with the OS 31...LOL. I'm NOT sorry for upgrading to the 13 hp electric start though. At all !! Thanks for the tip on the leveling jacks. I don't know if these are your exact ones, but they seem to be adequate at just four...so far. We'll wait until I get a BIG log on board before I decide if more are required or not. But the bar joists seem to not deflect at all so far. I credited you with that tip in the description. Thanks again Tony.

[@tractorman4461]

We have some pretty sizeable cedars up this way Bobby. On the old home place back in the 70's we cut a cedar grove that netted tons of 1''x16''x10'. And of course many times that in 6'', 8'', and 10'' material. I lined the Missus huge walk in closet in red cedar all tongue and grooved by she and I plus a few year back I lined a 228 sq ft four season room in red cedar. And there's a big area I finished in the basement with 45* angles of cedar as well as a wall waist high with a shelf all from just a part of what was left over from the 70's. And I still have a few hundred board feet of the smaller stuff left yet today from back then. I've got about 15 or so cedars to cut for another old friend later this winter or early spring. There'll be a couple upwards of 16'' or so there too. Thanks Bobby for the visit my friend !!

I'm glad you showed us 'everything' here in the processes involved in making this mill 'work' for you Wendell. I can see a few modification that you can easily make on this mill, and I'm guessing that you are more than likely thinking along similar lines. You mentioned that the blade will cut through some grit that, no doubt, will be in the bark of these logs, what do you plan on doing with that issue? A debarking attachment maybe? I enjoyed all of these video, and I hope we get to see more lumber coming off this mill. I `tip my hat` to you!

[@tractorman4461]

I don't think my I'll be sawing enough to justify a debarking setup, but I do plan on coming up with my own rig for sharpening the blades, so I can get two or three times the life out of them. Like we did on the circle mill, the obvious areas where excessive grit can be spotted, I'll just knock off the bark with a double bit. We try to be careful when handling logs in the field, and I think I will stress a little more care to keep them off the ground from cutting to the bunks. Now with forks on a couple tractors and the skidloader, we CAN minimize the time on the ground. I'm glad you enjoyed the series Reg. Thanks for following it all the way through.

[@eugenedennis2897]

Now that you have some years of experience with this sawmill, can you offer any advice about a problem my brother is having with the same model as yours? His problem is that the sawdust continues to build up inside the blade/belt cover and does not discharge out of the chute to the outside. There is no blockage in the chute all - it stays clean and wide open. We have experimented with adjusting the water drip from minimal to maximum but it changes nothing in regards to this problem. He primarily saws cedar and old pine, not much hardwood available to him.

[@tractorman4461]

Mine did exactly the same thing and the way I minimized it was to take side cutters and clip out all of the guard material from the opening. It’s still plugs up however to an extent around the opening but more of it definitely goes out. It also balls up around the micro switches in the center. What I do is make about 10 cuts then open one of the doors and blow everything out with the leaf blower. The moisture content of green material causes it to pack itself in the corner near the chute opening. And in exceptionally dry wood, the lubricant contributes to that as well. It’s only a minor issue as long as you keep a leaf blower handy.

No es nada malo. La piel de mis dedos se abre sin motivo. A veces tengo dos o tres que se rompen al mismo tiempo.

Votre cage de roulement sur le schaf est mal installées sur votre vidéo de montage. Les cages du roulement doivent être montées tout les deux chaque côté du roulement et non avec le montant du moulin entre les cages. Si le montant aurait deux pouces d'épais le roulement serait lousse de côté.

[@tractorman4461]

Je ne suis pas sûr de l'ensemble exact de roulements dont vous parlez. S'agit-il des paliers d'arbre autour desquels les câbles s'enroulent pour soulever la tête de scie ? Pouvez-vous préciser l'emplacement précis ?

Hahahaha...you're the second guy to suggest that. I told him too that I was thinking of carrying a shovel along just for that reason. Thanks Greg for watching and chiming in with the suggestion !!
