Today we sawed our first log with the new Woodmizer LX 150 Sawmill, It was a cherry log, not the best but not the worst. I have a lot to learn with this mill but am loving it already!

As a Large band saw operator, I can certainly attest to how fast you can make a mistake while not staying focused on what you are doing. All it takes is someone to come by and talk to you and next thing you know..."boom".. there goes the blade. Respect the saw...lol. Now you need a chipper shredder to bag up those trim cuts and sell bags of mulch. Great looking machine...Be Safe/Stay Safe.

a lot quieter and faster than when i use to off bear the old large circular saws with the carriage type mills .. Large diesel right in my ear.. Back in those days we didn't know what ear protection was.. LOL.. Get home in the evening and the ears be ringing . The good old days.. Enjoyed the video..

Mike if I were in your boat with that awesome machine, I would make a one page checklist, laminate it, and pin it to the Operation station until you get it down pat. Just to help you get over that first 100% humidity day that you go at it for 5,6,7 hours you have something that stares you in the face to check the easy misses like the clamp handles sticking up to far etc. Good luck, love your videos, they have really encouraged me on my own property goals and it is really nice having someone such as yourself doing so a great job with the info you publish, that for me is in similar terrain/terrain issues. You ever pass through Binghamton NY and want a cup of coffee feel free to stop through. Have fun out there stay safe.

@frankcadillac9151 5 жыл бұрын

Congrats Mike don't you just love that new mill smell. Relax and take things slow to start check and double check before each cut. Of course you are going to make a mill house to keep baby out of the weather. I run a circular and a bandmill and like them around hip height, bending over gets old fast. A log deck same level as the mill bed is handy , its not good form to load logs directly on the mill with the grapple. Everything is hunky dory until the band starts to dull . Resharp is a good alternative but some day look into sharpening and setting your own bands. Enjoy Mike.

This is a great video Mike. 50 years ago, one of the founders of Woodmizer bought more than 200 acres in western Indiana for use by family and friends. We were fortunate to buy a small part of that land in 2016. You are teaching us a number of lessons that we can benefit from on our land. Harvesting trees and using a tractor safely (and effectively) are right in our wheelhouse! Thanks so much, keep it going and God Bless you & your family. - John

I like the LX 150 so far. First time I've seen a KZfaq on it, as most regular Woodmizer contributors seem to be using the smaller (15, 25 and 35 trailer mounted) models. I really appreciate the log width potential on the 150. Especially if you start slabbing out some table blanks and that sort of thing. Looking forward to this new adventure!!

Like Bib Bigby, I was thinking about sawdust control. Once you get it under roof and on a pad, you should come up with a way that you can easily use it around the property to mulch garden beds, spread on the chicken coop floor, add carbon to your compost as needed, etc. If you generate enough of it, maybe share it with neighbors for horseshoe pits.
