I do like the saw Don, however giving you crap trumps any positive feedback I might have towards said object.....
Dumb question, those saw blades.......Did you tell them what you were cutting? Reason I ask (& this is strictly from a guy who's logic is rooted in managing several very large bandsaws of a commercial variety cutting steel) is that there are many different tooth profiles depending on what your cutting. Along with this goes speeds and feeds not to mention blade break in etc. I would assume those old logs will take something completely different than the young cedars. Only saying this because good blades aren't cheap not that I'm implying Lennox is top of my list but they're not the bottom either. Blade life or cuts will depend on a number of things with the biggest factor being the operator. Just food for thought.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Yea this is dangerously exciting..... exciting to see the old wood cleaned up and usable, dangerous because Don now has a 30" bandsaw to wreak havoc on everything including his digits and limbs....Now, no fluid changes until after several hundred board feet are cut, well maybe the initial after break in oil change, but a full on fluid change you enjoy so much, let's keep that for a later date.... cause I already see you mentioned horsepower and blade cutting ability/duration, my first thought, he's already looking at a bigger motor...I do think a congrats is in order though, because that's pretty cool.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looks like a solid machine. Will be nice to see some of the barn logs opened up!The way the dollar is right now will help a ton for you too. Can't wait to see it in action.
Can't wait to see it in action!
You have a transit or laser level? Might come in handy
Kinda like that iPhone you posted that message on huh?
I can't believe Shawn beat me to the punch on "breakage pool" on that great looking piece of equipment! Hopefully it's go some type of auto-drive that prevents Don from getting all "Home Improvement" on it.......... I predict 510 linear feet of production before the first SNAFU
Like I say about my vehicles:It aient ready to ride...till its mod-e-fied
Don, haters gonna hate....I've been around a few of these things and most people have mounted them to a utility trailer. Makes it mobile and functional.
Shawn, I'm in on the pool. But think we should have 2.1) based on your idea, waiting for a breakage.2) modification date (fluid change)I can see exhaust and nitrous!!!!Don, will a diesel fit on that and can you power with a PTO?

It weighs in over 900 lbs with the extensions, so I'd call it less than portable, easily. I do like the way you're thinking tho. Not sure what Dons thoughts are, but it might fit on the trailer, and be relatively portable that way. But then there is the getting the logs up etc too. I don't see it as very portable, even though it is portable, a solid dedicated spot like he's thinking is likely easiest.
Probably better to use the trailer to move the logs to the mill location.
Forks come in handy, nice.....
