Sawmill sadness

Sawfiler too. Sawyer isn't wasting time and putting that log into that saw. Somebody put some love in maintaining it. Hats off to the filing crew. Nice headrig.

[@jesuslite2000]

While he's not the smoothest at his loading and unloading the speed control in the cut is good. (Former Head Sawyer here). Can't control what you find in the middle of a log-unless the filers want to go out on the log deck with a metal detector lol.

[@jacobb7608]

Question for you: What is the purpose of the laser lines shining on the log and carriage? Are they just there to make the contours of the log clearer for the operator, or are they actually measuring something?

[@hollywoodmcadams5604]

​@@jacobb7608It's to show the saw line I believe. At least they were years ago when I was in mills. Helps to set log up for best cut.

Fast isn't always better, looks like he's putting out a lot of firewood, Pretty reckless

[@bradmccunn5124]

I bet he’s wrecked a lot of saws

[@dandeforest9439]

my guess ,he's trying to show off

[@rogerroger5649]

I assume he is good at what he does but I know little about the business. I'm sure from a company perspective the game is to get as many logs through as possible as fast as possible but, it just seems a little disrespectful somehow. Probably just me because I love to walk through the hardwood store and admire (drool actually) over the beauty of the wood. I just think there should be a little more care and pride in what you are doing and understanding what's behind the beauty revealed with each cut.

[@pechinma]

the end result is just the same no matter the rig travel speed. but i totally get your point, i used to have a firewood factory, chewing through oak, beech, ash that could have been beautiful boards. now that i enjoy doing furniture from time to time i have a different perspective.

He is actually pulling grade pretty well

[@user-py2iu1ws3j]

Hi guys I was a head sawer for a lot of years he's not grade sawing and that's how you make money, he's just breaking it down and sending to the resaw , the resaw has a smaller kerf saw , for witch you produce more lumber, but he's play with fire what he's doing is dangerous for him and his co-workers, I saw man get killed in the saw booth going to fast the log fell off when he was coming forward and drove the log through the cab so think about it,Thank you

Mr. Vile was the absolute best filler I ever met and worked with. We were very good friends. Used a heat crawler that drove 2 torch heads around the band. I thought the saws would end up cracking but they never did. Best filler ever. Rip Randy.

[@Kmecha84]

Jesus the millwright must hate working on this machine after this guy

[@jeromyw385xp]

ya think. they must work on this thing every day fixing something. not to mention the cost in repairs all the time.

[@zlindauer5315]

I was taught by a man that said if ya run it ya fix it. So 9 times out of 10 I was millright. Ya don't produce by playing with them. And there only costing ya if your not in the cut. The wheels cost money to spin. Period.

[@sethfrye6411]

Besides the hardware incident, how often do you change saws ?

[@zlindauer5315]

half a day or every 4 to 6 hrs.

[@jeromyw385xp]

[@audiemccall7611]

Meth!

[@stevewarfel5788]

A decent automation engineer would put this operator in the unemployment line.

[@zlindauer5315]

But strangely, there are still sawyers all over. It's hard with logs not being uniform. And the environment of dust and dirt are hard on sensors and computers. Don't get me wrong most owners would love not paying paychecks, but that monumental initially start cost will keep it in the hands of humans a couple more years.

[@charlespayne5698]

U good as hell hell yeah

[@brucewatson9700]

I want one

[@Tannertraversed]

How are your shoulders feeling? At my old mill the sawyer and edger would rotate every hour.

[@zlindauer5315]

it never really bothered my shoulders, when i was new at it my hands wood hurt from the button pushes and grippin the controllers to tightly. i know a couple times breakin the sticks and making them too long or short and by the end of the day knew i was goin to stay late and redue. I love sawin, days fly by, as fast as i can get it to go the better and the employers always love that... they start seein the dollars. more then enough to keep my mind occupied goin on in the sawcab.......... love it.

[@Tannertraversed]

z lindauer cool man. Thanks for the insight. We had a small mill. Mainly hardwoods. Maybe do 200-300 logs a day if lucky. Our sawyers are slow compared to you but the size of the logs keep us busy. When our manager gets in the cab he saw like a sum bitch, similar to you. He says it takes time and a proper eye and ear lol. Sucks when you hit metal, well not for me as I would be on the bandmill trimmer and would get to watch the guys rotate in a new bandsaw. I couldn't do what you do for 10 hours a day need to be on my feet. All sawyers that did it for 20 years complained so much about there shoulders, one guy on boardway can't even lift above his head. Keep on the good fight man thanks for all your hard work. God bless. Cut back on the soda ha ha

[@phreemynd]

I loved watching this. How many guys work the back of the mill?

[@zlindauer5315]

phreemynd, thanks for the compliment. I recon 8 to 10 men on the green chain, 2 edger operators, and 1and 1/2 men on the linebar resaw, the resaw is what really brought that mill into the production monster it is. I've ran mills with just head rigs and tinker toy resaws but when they bought that real resaw I had to run my ass off all day, any fumbles and I played ketchup up all day! I like tomatoes!

[@phreemynd]

Ugghh..I hated working behind (or feeding) a resaw. Ours sat too high and your shoulders would burn within 3 minutes of starting a stack.

[@phreemynd]

Growing up, my father ran a sawmill and a pallet mill. My uncle was the sawyer with one (human) log turner on good days, one offbearman/edger operator, one stacker and one bucking slabs. Slab guy helped stack squares and ties. We had 23 stacks between pine, hardwood, pallet stock, etc. Obviously we had a much slower mill but we would still put out 15,000 ft/day if nothing broke down. That's how I spent my teen summers. Oh, and guess who got to load out the 53' flatbeds with pallets...that's right, the boss' son who was being paid under the table and didn't know the meaning of "overtime."

[@zlindauer5315]

its very hard to find good help thats willing to do labor intensive work these days. the old man that trained me always said "you dont get the caliber men that you used too." that was almost 20 years ago when i started hearing that. and it hasent seemed to get better. every once in awhile a young man comes trough thats trainable for the upper jobs but there hard to keep at our sawmills wadges. and i never blame them for leaving and trying to better themselves. miss ya danial

[@calvinsusanwebber3414]

I dont think hes doing as good a job as he should id boot him out

[@patrickdean4853]

He is fast, but he is also really pushing his luck and being hard on the equipment. General Log quality seems poor as well. He is definitely beating on that carriage though. the bearing on the back side of the carriage are gonna show it and if he is not careful with that chain turner he will catch the front edge of his carriage and crack that bearing as well.

[@zlindauer5315]

There's a big rail on the back to protect those Taper roller bearings designed to take axial thrust in the v-wheels, and where in the wide world of sports do you see one of those slow ass chain log turners? Ya know everybody will say sawing should be done this way or that way, but I ran headrigs for 16 years the same exact way. Yea stuff gets broke, ya fix it and carry on. But I tell ya what, production time is just that and I gave up second guessing myself along time ago. I appreciate the comment and hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend sir.

[@patrickdean4853]

I think your right, that is a bar, not a chain turner. Moving pretty fast. Iguess it just comes down to priorities. All go, no stop or trying to pull grade. Busted carriages or busted band saws cost money too! He is fast though. I wonder if that rig has saw line software, otherwise he is courting disaster at that speed- hitting anything imbedded in the log, slamming that blade into a frozen log or hitting a double crotch … or even worse- hitting a frozen double crotch!

[@patrickdean4853]

@@zlindauer5315 I ran both a bar and a chain turner - I far preferred the chain turner when pulling grade.

I learned my lesson for about 16 years in the sawcab. Lol

[@zlindauer5315]

Oh, and that was southern Missouri, so they really didn't ever freeze there. Your more then likely to underfeed a band mill. It's all about watching the sawdust come out of the gullets and not behind the saw. I think the filler at that time was running 12ooo lbs of strain. That's really, really low for a 6ft mill. With his filling, she took it all day.

[@zlindauer5315]
