Would I buy this Sawmill again? Frontier Sawmills OS18 portable sawmill

[@garymessina1609]

Great Sunday morning sawing video Tony thanks and behind the the camera thanks Tanya and gizmo

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Our pleasure! I am loving these late afternoon sawing sessions.

[@Bodhranarama]

For such a small bandmill it can sure turn out some decent stuff. I know alot of it is your experience but you have to give the mill some credit too. Thanks all for making and posting.

[@nicoleking772]

We are looking at having our larger timber harvested to sell off, so the smaller stuff would be ours to do with what we want. So, do we pay more for a bigger mill or just know that anything bigger is to be sold off?

[@Bodhranarama]

@@nicoleking772 hi Nicole, I don't know if Tony will see this unless you comment directly. He is definitely the better person to ask.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The larger the log, the bigger the equipment needed. Logs get heavy fast.

[@dannydrake7348]

Enjoy watching your progress on the place, I bought a wood Mizer blade sharpener from Joe Maine and it is awesome, I think the blades I sharpen cut as good as a new one, I pay close attention to each blade and set up for each blade and love the results

[@Tapthatsugershack]

Great stuff, lots of info for people looking at buying a mill

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Glad it was helpful! I had no idea how many people are interested in a sawmill. I get a lot of questions.

[@Tapthatsugershack]

@TonysTractorAdventure I am sure there are a lot of people looking at them. If you have the drive to look at one. u have the drive to own on 😀

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I agree. It took me about 3 years of looking at them before I pulled the trigger.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Hello my friend. Thank you so much. We are going at it like crazy.

[@Walter-ts1vu]

Thanks for the valuable information . Can you please demonstrate how to sharpen the blade

[@joerodrigues3816]

Great video as always mate but where’s your dog he’s always with you and your wife god bless always my friend c u in the next one take to you and your family.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Gizmo and Tanja were off walking if memory serves. God bless my friend.

[@Nadaghanisawmill]

Amazing

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@CoupleofBunkies]

Great video love the sawmill and you made a good video.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jefffrayer8238]

Looks like a good rig and with all that standing lumber should pay for itself. Pretty sure dirt from dragging logs around dulls blade fast too. That's going to be a sturdy mailbox post. Excellent, informative video.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I do my absolute best to never drag a log. I use the grapple to move them around if at all possible. It saves me blades.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Good subject for a video

[@Walter-ts1vu]

does this unit have something to help you get the log on the track? I don't have a tractor.

[@farmerhomestead]

Do you get a lot of saw dust stoppage? On here and on your 23. Mine seems to build up a lot where it starts to bog down the engine. And I normally find that out with like a foot left of that cut

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I cut the end out of my OS23. I have never had a stoppage on this one yet.

[@hot2warm]

I notice a lot of wobble in the sawmill as it's going down the track. Does that affect the quality of the cuts at all?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is normal for sawmills. Rough cut lumber.

[@joeparker7508]

What are you doing with those slabs / miscuts

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Burning most of them. In the future some will be firewood.

[@RonHight-un8uk]

Tony, been wondering how you liked the mill so far? Been thinking about getting an OS18. Thanks for the review.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I have used it a lot for smaller stuff. I have the extension on the way.

[@user-pp4lt6tb5r]

Was this the first change of blade? That would mean 31 logs

[@aCycloneSteve]

Is there a blade change video that I missed? Or is that coming in the future?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I can do one.👍

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I filmed the video changing. I will edit it and get it out first of next week.

[@robertwinton2649]

👍

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

👍👍

[@snownymountian712]

I notices seems like there's nice bit of wobble in the mill while cutting is that normal ?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I would expect it in all smaller sawmills. The bigger they get, the less movement there is. There is a trade off for mobility. Having said that, the cut quality is pretty good.

[@joeparker7508]

Would that saw accommodate a larger motor

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I guess a person could, but I don't see much reason why. It works very well in its intended roll.

[@LeonelMendoza-x7j]

How much that machine?

[@joeparker7508]

E free gas or E gas with stabilizer?

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I had to stop in the middle of the video to get fresh gas. The bad gas was fresh from the pump two days before. It turns out, I was not the only one with problems. We had horrific rains. The gas station had to shut down his pumps and filter the water out.

[@davida.p.9911]

Good work, my friend! 😎👍 🪵🪵🪵

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I appreciate the watch.

[@alabamagpaaprospector7699]

Wouldn't it be wise to use a cheap metal detector to detect the nails

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I have a cheap metal detector. It's cheap. 🙃

[@robertstaklinski7554]

How much did that set up cost

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

There is a link to their website in my video description. All prices listed there. It has been a win to this point.

[@carboncopies706]

Why dont u tell what u paid for it is it a secret

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is not a secret. The price is listed on their website.

[@garysnyder6020]

It's not the sawmill cost that's bothering me but the tractor.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

You really don't need a tractor for this small sawmill. We have a larger sawmill too. Still a small tractor saves the back.

[@TwinCityFirewood]

Great video! New subscriber here! I clicked on a sawmill for sale on marketplace in my area that your selling. That’s how I found your channel. I’m in South Fulton. I have a small firewood channel myself. If you have time, please check it out! Many thanks!

[@Walter-ts1vu]

what f uI el does it take?

[@PKSINY]

NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I don't understand what you are saying.

[@jimbauer6822]

Way to small to be of any use wouldn't have one

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

That is just a load of cr@p. It does a great job for what it is meant to do. I cut very well.
