Logs To Lumber W/Timber Tuff Sawmill Jig

Trying out the timber tuff sawmill on an old cedar log to make some lumber and boars to see how it works. Cutting this log into beams and slabs with this sawmill worked well and I am really glad I have it for future use. The lumber and beams I made with this thing took no time at all!

G'day S&J, I purchased my 4 foot Alaskan twin power head slabber in 95 I put a pair of 066 Magnums on it they worked well together. The next year I got an Alaskan mini mill so I could cut garden sleepers and railway ties, I found that pushing it away as you did on the second cut was the way to go but you had it near vertical I ran it at about 60 degrees and be conscious that any left or right pressure on the throttle handle will reflect at the bottom of the cut. They're a handy little portable set up but I'll have to be honest since we purchased the 10/30 Lucas Mill and slabber they've been in the shed gathering dust for nearly 15 years but they helped to pay for it mind you 👍.

They are a handy little tool, I keep one with me when I mill with the Alaskan, I set it up on another saw 029 normally and use it cut dimensional timber out of the slabs off the Alaskan, works very well

Yes I like it. It is a handy tool and is really cheap. It makes some stuff go much faster than the Alaskan. I agree both have their place

Maybe wedge the log in place so she doesn't want to roll on ya? I like the looks of the Norwood chainsaw mill that runs on a ladder 🪜. Was lucky enough to skip that plan & went with a Woodmizer lt35 manual mill. I would Stihl like a chainsaw mill to be able to get in & out of the truck on the forest 🧡👍🌲🌲🌲 Thanks for the video & your thoughts buddy 👍 great video & Timber 🪵🌲🧡

On the Alaskan mill - you could probably use 4 small "C" clamps on the inside of the two plates (clamped to bottom of the rail) to hold the metal bars from sliding while cutting.

Really enjoying these, as much as I do the other channel! I was wondering if you can take one of the finished lengths of timber and dress it, and finish a small part off ie plane and sand to a nice finish to see how it comes up from a log to end product?

Nice seems a bit creepy for me being on that side of the saw but it would be super handy just to square stuff up then slab with Alaskan. O and would it be effective if you did it on the side and took boards off the top

It is a little awkward and it makes me a little nervous pushing the saw like that, but it seems to work ok, just dont want it to kick back. I have never thought about using it on its side, maybe I should try it!

You mentioned pushing the saw thru it which I’ve thought about the from the very first demo I watched of this type of jig. I’m guessing the kickback might be in question.

Yeah, it does make me nervous. I can't quite find a way to make it feel comfortable for cutting and safety. Its a cool tool, but want to make sure it doesn't kick back like you mention. Its much easier to push than pull though.....

@SJForestProducts 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Tony. I am running a full toothed ripping chain, I think its an Oregon chain. For ripping it works way better than a cross cut, much smoother finish.

@guygillmore2970 Жыл бұрын

If you mounted it on the otherside of the bar so it is the opposite side to the engine, will it not make it easier? It seems a bit counterintuitive but you wouldn't have to lean over the log as you cut.

Good idea! I will try it next time

@ledenhimeganidleshitz144 2 жыл бұрын

Here is the simple solution to the first cut with a Timber Tuff, Haddon or other like guide. Spike or screw two vertical 2x4's to both ends on the log. Use a spirit level and fasten a horizontal 2x4 to each end. This is the mount for the saw guide 2x4. Fasten the saw guide 2x4 to make the saw kerf lay where you want it.

I took my setup a little further and fabricated a T bracket out of 2x2 steel angle that I can screw to the ends of the log and screw to the 2x6 guide to as well. Makes a good solid mount for the guide board. Ripping 16' long beams 4"x24" slabs and coming out really nice...

In this video I am using a 462 with a 28" bar. I now use a 500i with a 36" bar. I'm no expert, but I wouldn't use anything smaller than a 462. If nothing else it will really limit the width of cut you can make. Thanks for watching.

It looks like you're cutting dry redwood. It would be a far more difficult proposition if you had a harder wood; not everyone has access to wood like that.
