I was a saw filer in a high production sawmill for 21 years. Both band saws and edger saws. There is an art to it for sure. If we broke a tooth, we welded another one in. You're best off doing what you're doing with those relatively inexpensive band saw blades. It's a complex but very interesting topic for sure.

Another indicator of blade issues is the tension pressure all of a sudden needs to be adjusted mostly because the blade is heating up and increasing in length.

I use to run a circle mill and when I swaged and sharpened the saw teeth correctly I would actually have to hold back on the carriage feed to keep the saw from pulling the log into the saw to fast in smaller logs , literally would self feed after the saw got in the log . Usually would sharpen the saw twice a day , unless it would hit something . A circle mill is a bit more forgiving with a dull blade than a band mill . Keep up the good work and keep the saw dust flying .

I saw mostly white spruce and pine and it’s pretty slow going. Spruce especially. Woodmizer 4 degree blades seem to be the best for us. The wood fibres seem to open up once they’re cut and then they fill the gullet more and if you push it the blades load up and the blade starts wandering. I can only seem to get about 3 or 4 sharpenings per blade and they end up breaking after that. Woodmizer says that’s pretty normal for here in Alberta.

Frozen logs plug the kerf with frozen sawdust. As the blade warms, cutting frozen wood the material removed freezes. That leaves less clearance for blade thickness, resulting in the blade heating up and causing wave.

yes nothing can dull a log quicker then dirty bark oh man have you done one log yet and need to change blade afterwards.then you know its bad in the woods since we do it diffrent in sweden,we often use forwader and log harvester, rarly a skid loader.We load timber and drive it out from forrest not dragging it behinde a skidloader and boss man seems to be in super steep area would be hard for a forwader to operate there.Its impressive that you has the experience so you notice the small stuff

Very Interesting. I have been wondering why you never used the DeBarker to prolong blade life. It is a rotating wheel with Carbide inserts that clears a path through the bark to the wood for the blade and eliminates the dulling action of dirt embedded in the bark. I haven't quite figured out the 'degree as in 4 or 7. Is that the 'set' of the teeth?

A debarker is an absolute must to lengthen the life of your blades. The turbo 7 degree blades are the absolute best and it’s nice to have some 4 degree blades on hand for extra hard or knotty wood and white ash. Do yourselves a favor and get the Woodmizer sharpener and setter for your operation. You’ll find your blades will last longer because you won’t run them as long before you change them and you’ll save money over shipping and resharp costs.

A couple of things. I realize it's cheaper to have Grandpa sharpen the used blades but I re-sharpen my shop blades on a regular basis and I have a blade sharpening service that does a professional job, yes it's more expensive but the bade sharpening is done perfectly. The other thing is, if the de-barker is such an important element of the mill, why has it not been repaired ? Thanks again for another video.

Thanks for the great videos. One question I have is whether you have gone in more detail regarding lumber scaling...maybe a close up of how the logs are scaled, and maybe a comparison between what is estimated and how many board feet is the actual yield. Keep up the good work, the whole family business is truly inspiring. Ron.
@TheWhitetailrancher Жыл бұрын
When doing ANY machining/cutting of wood cut quality is all about "chip load" which is calculated with feed rate teeth or "cutters" and rpm/ speed of blade. balanced with specie balanced with Sharpness. The biggest key to actual "milling" of all species pertaining to maintaining Sharpness is the use pf the debarker. It also helps to know where the tree came from. trees from heavily forested areas aren't exposed to the wind and blowing dirt as trees that come from a more open area.

Have you considered a carbide toothed blade? They are a lot more expensive, but they stay sharp a lot longer and can even survive contact with metal as long as the metal is not too large.

Contary to practice, and assumed common sense, to use a new blade on extreme knoty logs means more lower quality lumber later on. If you know the knots are going to wreck a blade, use a resharpened one. Logic of: Use an old paint brush if you don't care about the look of the finished product. Pretty good video. Grandpa needs to pass down his knowledge. Broken blades: I have a blade welder for the price of scrap metal (but when they break, welding may not be a wise choice.) Making a new blade is its main function IMO. Lebanon country.
