Not much waste/campfire wood from those two! Good milling job. And all shines appeared to make it thru the day unscathed. Thanks for sharing and I'll be waiting for the next.

Thank you Barry. It's always a good day when everyone goes home uninjured. The customer isnt happy when they see a pile of scrap from their logs. Best to keep the waste to a minimum. Next up is Black Walnut. Same customer, different location.

I notice that with every start of the blade, you have a "chirp". I used to do that too. Then i figured out that to get those two big wheels and the blade into motion requires a lot of torque. Jerking the starting handle down puts all this force at one time on the wheels and belts. So I started just pulling slightly on the starting handle to get the momentum of the wheels turning, then pulling the handle all the way down eliminates the "chirp" and causes less stress on the belts. Just a half second delay, eliminated the "chirp." With a little practice, you won't notice any slow-down of your cutting, and the "chirp" is gone.

Hello Ralph, and thank you for your input. I used to engage the blade slowly like you mentioned. Although my belt didn't stretch, it cause the belt to glaze, causing it to slip. No matter how I would adjust it, it would then slip, causing the blade to slow in the cut, in turn, causing it to dive. It made for a lot of wavey boards. I talked with Marty Parsons at PA Wood Mizer, while at a mill owners seminar. He agreed, and practices the style of blade engagement that we use. We have just over 900 hours on the mill, and just put our second belt on. So far, it's working for us. Maybe it's the belt quality or something. The larger mills have an electric clutch that engages the belt in the same manner. It locks up, and has a little chirp to it. 2 schools of thought I guess. As long as everyone is making good lumber. :)

I really enjoy watching you run your saw mill. I have an Amish gentleman who has a mill that cuts rough cut lumber. He's very responsible and I'm going to go there to get lumber for my workshop. It's just amazing to see you cut high quality lumber. Be safe.

That spruce stump is full of torsion, between that and the obvious decay that contributed to its failure. I’d hardly think the lumber would be worth the work. Also, spruce has a way of making everything sticky and gross lol. I’m no milling expert, but I work in trees for a living as a arborist
@IronOakSawmill Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your input about the spruce. We actually ended up milling that log. It was still very solid and milled up great. Check out our video named Black Walnut Beauty. We show the lumber from that log. The client has used it successfully in many projects. Believe me, I hate spruce. The k ots are as dense as aluminum, and cause issues with the blades. Not to mention the sap pockets. I was surprised that this log didn't offer much of those issues.
