@paullynch277 Жыл бұрын
Hi Emerald. When you rotate the Log (after first cuts) use a 90 Degree Angle Set Square - Note you must put the Set Square(on opposite side to the Dogs) - against the horizontal support bar of the Mill and then check how square you have the log against your cut edge. By trying to square up a log by viewing the Dogs side alignment of the log you are not going to get a consistent square cut. (you are trying to square the cut from the wrong side). Instead, if you use a 90 Degree Set Square as described above on the other side of the Log, then you will be far more accurate and maintain a consistent quality.
@dieterkoch6563 Жыл бұрын
My thought exactly. Use the most stable element of the mill as the basis for the calculation.
@bwillan Жыл бұрын
One additional step would be to make sure the log bunks are free of debris on each rotation of the log. A battery powered leaf blower is a good tool for this. This is important for the second cut to ensure that it is perfectly parallel to the first cut.

One of the things I always wonder about in your sawdust pile... There should be a way to hook up a conveyor belt that uses the return cycle of the sawmill to move the sawdust out of the section between your building and the mill. Would not think that it would take much to setup something like this and would have zero effect on the milling process itself!

Sometimes a log being sawn into beam shape will have some tension in it which is gradually or suddenly released while you saw material off, that can also lead to geometrical errors in the final beam. Drying the beam is a whole other story in relation to the tiny tolerance you had in your example beam. Looking forward to BBQ!

I have had so many that seemed to be square until you flip the square! lay it down and draw a line the full length of the square then flip it over and compare where the line is to the square! you may see the square isnt square! It may be off at the end by even a width of a pencial line which will throw off everything! But Great video! I love the attention to detail and showing us what it is you were talking about!

Hi Emerald, i always love it when you stand in the sun with your hair so then you look absolutely what you are : on fire !🔥🔥 For the square problem : you are right to make 180 turn to have the parallelity first (control that if you havent already). Then when cut the third side watch that you do not overpress the four fingers on the left side so take the hydraulic clamp not to high (i think middle would be good). Control after the first cut, perhaps you have to put a little underlay a the top of the four fingers because they are worn out (maybe that could be fixed). Repeat at the fourth side. Please tell me if that was use- or helpful.

Hey Ken since you and I have the same hobby I was thinking we could start a club or association to promote our hobby. It would be great and maybe we could get teenagers and the younger crowd involved since they don’t seem to have much experience with it. We could go nationwide with regional and local chapters. It would be great and beneficial to communities. What’s the hobby we share? It’s called “WORK”, which seems to becoming a lost art. Glad to see that you are going to start a new hobby which doesn’t require boots. Hope the rest of the family joins you with your new hobby too since they too share your old hobby.
@tuberzish Жыл бұрын
My 4-year old said to me one day, "That's not a square, that's a triangle!" By the way, you probably know that lumber often shrinks diagonally when it dries, so even if it was square when it was green, it may not be when it's dry. This can be really pronounced in a larger beam, or in a beam from a crooked log, or when the beam wasn't centered in the log. There's not much that can be done about it except sawing oversized and remilling after drying. I've heard that some mills that handle more expensive lumber will reduce waste by sawing out cants and let them dry for a while before resawing into boards. Even then the outer layers of the cant will be dryer than the middle.
