Thats the way its done! I've lived it, and seen it my whole life! Im a sawyer, and my Father has been sawing for over 50 years! hes 71 and runs a scrag mill over 40 hours, every week! This is a great sawyer! his saw is running good number one, and he's not "snatching and jerking", This man will work your ass off on the green end, and do it day in, and day out!!!! Without tearing up equipment,,,!!

They have a couple of sawyers, all about this good. It's a pleasure to watch. The mill was upgraded with air dogs and kickers, and chain turner, by JS Machine, who's farm the mill is located on.

When the saw blade is in the cut and we hear 'thunk a thunk a thunk'..is that the steam engine under a load?

Yes. Most of these engines have a single double acting cylinder. The 2 ends sound almost the same, but piping and other minor differences mean that you can hear the difference in sound.

Great video. But I don't know why people use a circular saw mill. A band saw mill loses so much less in sawdust waste it should make a circular saw mill obsolete
@mr.bigfoot84095 жыл бұрын
Albert Cyphers, it depends on a couple of things. If you mainly saw one inch, a bandsaw will save you a lot of volume. Now if you saw more squares and pipeline skids and you are really going for production headrigs are the way to go. They can cut much faster unless you are talking big bandsaws which can cut about the same speed. Also, much less blade maintenance on a headrig. It all depends on what you saw.
@MRALBERT5714 жыл бұрын
A head saw is more forgiving if you don’t have a debarker and logs are a little dirty also, and the cost to have or convert a mill to bandsaw is a lot of money and the equipment to take care of them, filers, setters, spare blades, etc. adds up. I understand your thought and it is a good one just please understand where I am coming from. Thank You
@srfurley4 жыл бұрын
If you’re using a steam powered mill the sawdust isn’t waste, it’s fuel for the process. I remember seeing a couple of steam powered sawmills around the early ‘70s, long after most industry had stopped using steam.
@SteamCrane2 жыл бұрын
They have a clever use for the sawdust.
@paulkramer4176 Жыл бұрын
as others said, it depends. What was mostly being made were timbers 2x and bigger, so not as much waste. But the speed of a circular saw is much greater than a bandsaw could manage, (of a similar size). And remember, these are the Amish. They had the logs, they didn't want electrical motors. Could have run a bandsaw, but a circular saw is simpler.
