Running the new mill

[@TimberHog]

Finally a video with an efficient sawyer! I wish more mill operators knew how much faster they could saw!

[@VKMilling]

Man, I can't get over just how fast those hydraulics are. I wish my LT35 hydraulics were half that speed.

[@stevenlipka6632]

You can take out the fittings that slow the hyd. on your mill they are in line can get different ones that let more fluid go by.

[@Brian-vx3ip]

Nice video man. Love that head up down speed and the snappy hydraulics.

[@danmartin5516]

After years of pacing with the mill and eating sawdust & flying bark frisbees, that would be so strange (and fun) to run! I'll be stopping by next time we're passing through.....

[@AndreasvonT]

Awsome piece of equipment and you are handy on it! Subscribed

[@gjdavidson36]

I’m wanting to buy one of these to help with pallet supply lumber, as well as custom cuts. Do you have anymore videos or tips and tricks to be successful?

[@carlinbenton8044]

That's awesome! I bought the lt35 last month nice mill but should have dropped the money for the lt50 live in learn

[@carlinbenton8044]

I would get the LT 40 wide

[@farmerbob139]

man, if I tried running my lt40 super that fast there would be some serious waves happening, I've never been able to sink it into a log hard enough to make that 36 horse yanmar grunt even a little. very impressive.

[@4x4American]

Welder Bob Turn the feed knob some more she’ll grunt lol! It’s got everything to do with the blade, what blade are you using?

[@farmerbob139]

I'm using .045 x 1.25, various woodmizers 10 degree. I think I'm going to try those tight fitting plastic belts and see what they do. I get a lot of blade flutter sometimes ( I can really see it in the outer blade roller guide bar) and I don't think that really helps.

[@4x4American]

Try some WM turbos or Kasco 7/40’s. As for those urethane belts I’d stay away I’ve never heard anything good about them. But forget 10 blades, throw them right out!

[@VKMilling]

I've got an LT35HD, haven't really been happy with the regular double hard blades at 4 & 9 degrees staying sharp enough, long enough. Would you recommend the DH Turbo 7 as replacements? I'm down here cutting White oak, hickory, walnut and.... pine.

[@johnwarkentinnikiskialaska8364]

Thanks for answering I need one we live in Nikiski Alaska and have a lot of trees on our property

[@4x4American]

yea no problem..this mill is a really awesome mill I have I think 1600 hours on it now, and it's been great so far. I put in a Hurdle circle mill so we've been running that a good bit too, but I always like the super 70

[@txlaflash]

Bad ass machine! Thanks for the video!

[@deernutOO]

Excellent vidjayo. Thanks for posting..

[@4x4American]

deernutOO Thanks for watching!

[@williamingle1684]

Must be practice on new mill!

[@stevelankerdsr8180]

I hope the sawyer learned a lot more since then.... wasting a ton of good lumber....

[@johnwarkentinnikiskialaska8364]

Nice mill how long of a log can you cut with the LT 70

[@4x4American]

JOHN WARKENTIN 16’ers is all I care to cut. Technically the blade will move down the rail like 20’6” or something but 20’ers are miserable to cut. I don’t like to go any longer than 16’s (with trim of course), then the dragback works normally and all that jazz.

[@charleshanna2089]

I'd be interested in seeing a tape measure or t square run down the sides of the product so we can see how straight the mill is sawing at that feed rate and producing accurate dimensions is rare

[@4x4American]

Charles Hanna Haven’t had any complaints from my buyers and they always seem to want more than I can produce. Its just for pallet deck boards and stringers it’s not like I’m cutting stock to build a piano. This is not the way I would saw custom order stuff that’s sold retail, this is more like cutting cheese as quick as possible to load tractor trailers. That being said, I can feed pretty good in popple and it cuts nice and flat. There is however stresses in the log, and I do what I can to compensate for that within reason without hurting production too much. See sawing for production vs sawing something that’s gonna be measured with a micrometer is two completely different things.

[@charleshanna2089]

+4x4American roger that ! I figured it was for something rough

[@goatamongsheep4296]

Pallet wood = the customer does not care about precise dimensions. On the other hand, he missed an opportunity to square up the saw.

[@TimberHog]

High speed rate in small logs isn't a problem.

[@Kmecha84]

On the last cut I don't understand why not take the top off then one last cut to make 2 4x4's?

[@4x4American]

kyle warmerdam I was making 3 sided cants to feed a resaw for making pallet deck boards. The deck boards I make range in length from 30-54”. The thought process is to turn logs into cants as fast as possible and to make an extra cut just to clean up the cant would be a waste of time. The resaw is going to make that cut later on anyways. Plus it could also hurt my yield if there is taper on the piece and I took a slab to open up the whole face and I leave a 40” chunk of good wood on one end. Plus, there can be a healthy amount of wane on a pallet deck board. I want to send as much as possible. To get as much yield as I can out of each piece.

[@patrickstammeyer6531]

So you bought this high dollar machine to cut a product that pays pennies.......I see why you cut as fast as possible! Nice video I really enjoyed it.

[@4x4American]

Patrick Stammeyer egg-zachary!

[@txlaflash]

One guy, hard work=$$

[@rexhavoc2982]

What up with all the live edge timbers and boards?

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

So is this after Skynet becomes self-aware, or just a prelude?

[@4x4American]

On a scale from 1 - prelude I'd say it's pretty close.

[@floodedcar123]

What kind of engine dose it have?

[@linzierogers6227]

I detect jealousy in some of these posts.

[@thomasknight1190]

You could do with some more help

[@4x4American]

want a job?

[@pup734]

Wow

[@erniet9935]

I wouldn't let this guy near my mil the way he runs this....fast doesn't always cut it when it comes to safety and keeping the equipment in good shape! He doesn't know how to really handle the controls efficiently and he needs to give that guy some help stacking....not too bright! Thumbs down

[@TimberHog]

A mill this size was built for production, not for slow pokes who mess around! The operator did a wonderful job and it's his job to keep the offbearer covered up. If he gets behind then hire more help. I've helped offbear at an operation where we cut 5,600' of hardwood every 6 hrs with the LT70. Now that's production! The conveyors made offbearing easy.

[@CashIsKing_UseItOrLoseIt]

I don't like the look of the frequent up & down wobble of the overhead carriage before and after the cut. if the cut is still totally even then ok i guess.

[@4x4American]

Sketti Boi you don’t have to like it!!! lol

[@CashIsKing_UseItOrLoseIt]

4x4American - yeah that's why i left the comment in the first place... cause i didn't have to like it and am free to write whatever i want about it within youtube guidelines.

[@4x4American]

I'm happy for you!

[@carlinbenton8044]

That mill cuts awesome that's why people send the money on them!!!

[@TimberHog]

Sketti Boi If you'd set up the woodmizer beside a 4 post mill on a hillside the woodmizer would still cut flat boards whereas the 4 post couldn't cut flat boards unless it was leveled perfectly.

[@drives1973]

Reckless

[@TimberHog]

That mill is made for it! Not reckless, it's skill by experience.

[@randygoodspeed6460]

so i take it its just not me seeing the piss por job that sawyer is doing hate to see the custamer
