[@Helmsburgsawmill]

You bet Gary! Thank you for commenting away!:) more videos will be coming this weekend!

Hickory can be as soft or rock hard depending on which hickory. Sawing frozen hickory in winter is really fun. I know you chip everything but the off cuts would make great firewood or smoker wood. Wood fired pizza ovens too like White Oak or Hickory.

[@jimharbison7589]

Great video as usual, when you change the head saw to the B pattern or F pattern does the top saw get changed also? Thanks for the video

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Nope! However I do take the blade off for maintenance and greasing the zerts on the other side of the blade

Therapy.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

@@Richard-vw8no therapy indeed!

Every Hickory log I tried to saw , ripped my bandsaw off the wheels everytime no matter how slow I started. When I sawed , we sawed hardwood mostly , but hickory is a totally different animal lol

[@johnmcgarvie4061]

Any idea how an 8 ft bandmill would handle the hickory? Being a softwood lumber guy from would the bandsaw snake in the cut if over or under feeding the carriage?

[@curtthormann6896]

I ran a million board feet a week head rig. Mostly poplar and red and white oak. Everytime a hickory got put up on my deck by accident it ripped my rather large bandsaw right off the wheel despite my best efforts to go very very slow. I think it's more about tooth angle than anything as the saw would jump almost immediately right into the carriage. Size of the hickory seemed to have no impact on how the saw acted while trying to cut it. It's been a few years since I sat sawing, but I have sawn thousands of logs in my past. You never forget the yard guys mistakes that's for sure. Not sure how many set of lives I waited hitting a hickory that looked like poplar lol

Increíble trabajo, cortar madera de nogal tan dura requiere mucha habilidad. ¡Impresionante precisión!

[@bobclifton8021]

What other kind of Hickory is there other than hard?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

The two are Pignut and Shagbark

[@waylonskitchen3525]

Hey I was wondering what kind of power unit runs your mill

[@mrsawyer186]

Electric motor.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

3 phase!

[@CarnivoreCurin]

When it comes to hickory, we have a hard time getting the saw to run straight. It wants to run in and out and make thick and thin boards. Do you have that issue also?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

If I ever have an mis cut with any board, I usually know right away when and why:) i always cut the hickory straight! My first question is, is the F or B pattern being used?

[@CarnivoreCurin]

@@Helmsburgsawmill I am John, Ruth is my wife. I'm a grader and it's not my mill. But it never gets hickory right

[@19Dad84bod]

For that stuff that builds up. Why not install an air line so you can every now and then blow that stuff before it stops your production?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

We have multiple airlines. And it’s not those slivers per say. Just slivers like that. It’s the ones that go down the line after the saw, that get you. A grinder piece, stopped an outfeed gear on the grinder for example. Just the white wood going out the shoot. Also I could spend all day blowing with the air nozzle

[@chrisd3884]

Install high-pressure air nozzles to clear away debris! 🤔

[@georgealexanderrobinson1642]

Certainly a different tune on the hickory, unfortunate about the metal.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

As long as I didn’t hit it, I’m happy!!

[@woodnewf3847]

Hickory can suck. Never milled it but processed it for firewood. Stringy grain when splitting. I had about 40 cords of logs that were cut in early spring so the bark shed in big log length strips. What a mess and giant PITA. Comparable BTUs to oak and dries faster. Embers like to pop and spit. Im detecting a sawing trend of working through the older and low grade log stock in the yard. Good way to generate revenue without paying for new logs.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Firewood really is about the best use!! Especially since hickory has always been so flighty market wise. It fluctuates so quickly it’s not worth going out of the way to buy. But like I say, you have to buy the logs you don’t want, to receive the logs your after:) And yes you’re 100% correct. This principle is hard to explain. A mills profit after milling out there good logs, is lying dormant inside the leftover logs! Then it’s about how quickly you bang it out!
