In todays video I’ll saw through 3 white oak logs! I’ll get 3 cross ties and 4/4 grade lumber off of the sides. If you enjoy the video, please give it a like and hit that subscribe button.

Whoever invented the vertical edger is a friggin genius!

I have never seen the two horizontal blades that take the place of a secondary edging operation, that is genius. What a time savings.

Wow, I've never seen a machine that could make THREE simultaneous wood cuts before, set the wood up flawlessly each time & to be cut precisely automatically... and it's obviously an older machine, too! NICE! THANKS...

I remember the portables powered by VW motors that had the edger blade on the side. They cut a lot of lumber.@@Helmsburgsawmill

First time seeing vertical edging and sawing at the same time. Only to have to handle lumber one time has to be a game changer.

Impressive setup. Those saws at 90 degrees are quite the time saver.

It's called a vertical edger, they've been around for a good while

The edging saws like that are cool makes for 1 less skilled job in the system.

Put the camera in the cab with you and give some commentary as you saw. It would be interesting to hear why you make the cuts that you do. Thanks for the videos.

@Helmsburgsawmill 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for your input! I’ve actually been thinking about that. It would probably be way easier to commentate

@robertgreen8695 7 ай бұрын

It would be interesting to see how you do things and to do a mental comparison with other mills.

Please don't. I can't watch bus motor's (Mark G.) videos because he never shuts up. We just want to hear the mill and machinery!

The cross tie is also referred to as a railroad tie! Those bad boys will be getting thrown under some railroad tracks

Is white oak the only species used for ties ? I really enjoy your content .

@Helmsburgsawmill 7 ай бұрын

I appreciate the comment! And nope. They use White and Red Oak, Hickory, soft and hard maple, beach, and sycamore if it isn’t too shaky

@Helmsburgsawmill...This was an awesome video, thanks for the great editing! In the early 1960's we cut all of 'your species' plus post oak, black oak, hackberry and elm....and, like you I may have missed a few.... We also occasionally cut switch ties (7" X 9" X 10' through 14') if the wood was higher quality. Where is your 'treating plant'/buyer located?

How often do you have logs large enough to use the top saw?

@Helmsburgsawmill 6 ай бұрын

It just depends on the batch of logs that I’m in! If I get into a batch of good logs, I’ll just leave it on all day. I’ll use it almost every log. Other days maybe on just a few logs

The sawyer making to maney mistakes. Not turning the log soon enough. And using the edger when not needed.

@Helmsburgsawmill 6 ай бұрын

The ties are the priority on these logs. The lumber is just a product. You split the first face strips with the edger so they don’t clog the grinder👍👍

@marcchatterson-xq7qt 5 ай бұрын

I run the same style mill with vertical edger and I use the edger the same way. So the chipper doesn’t get jammed up. Less downtime means more money for the mill
