That is one nice mill, I,m building a bandsaw mill now almost done, kinda wish I built a swing saw. Great Video

good show thanks, I like this mill best so far!

Like they say...."Learn something everyday"....never knew these existed.

When I was looking at sawmills, I was looking at a swing blade mill. Every saw mill type has it's place. I think you need them all :). Never enough mills.

I think you're right about the 2 man working. Push the head through on the horizontal cut, then pull back for the vertical. This way the blade would not be dragging you along!

You continue to produce great content Thomas! My CMC retires this year, has bought his forever home in the country, and I gave him a steer in your KZfaq direction since his interests soon will intersect with your content. I’m a bit jealous but not too much longer for me until I can have some permanence in where I reside 👍🏽👍🏽

Great demonstration of the Peterson Swing blade mill. One thing that was obvious to me was that the boards coming off the log are already edged. On a bandsaw mill, to get every board out of a log you have extra work to go back and edge the initial slabs. Another thing was that the log remained stationary, it didn't have to be rolled to make a square cant. As you mentioned cutting quarter sawn lumber with a swing blade mill is pretty easy just by changing the cutting pattern. There are certainly many advantages to a swing blade mill over a bandsaw mill. If one has ready access to large size trees (20" or bigger) and want dimensional lumber over slabs, a swing blade style mill is certainly the ticket.

Hi Thomas, here also Thomas. Will get my DWS next week. Also I order this week the WPF with the fully equipment. The Team from PetersonMill ist brilliant. Will come to the factory in January. PetersonMill ist a absolut amazing.

Finally someone who is dyslexic showing us how it’s done. Now I need to do is follow your directions precisely and it’ll turn out right for me. Very good job, I’m halfway through and I’m hoping that you show how to cut wider boards.(this, is meant to be positive comment )

Looks great, Suggest you use your vertical cut to release the board. it won't fall back into the blade and you won;t have pinching. I found out the hard way.

good video .I also have a peterson sawmill it is a WPF model .Good sawmill

Turbo sawmills builds a great mill that eliminates issues that the other swing blades have. I will be getting one at some point.

Hi Thomas. I have worked with machinery that uses parts like that little round thing that almost touches the saw blade and to me from looking at it from this angle when you were sharpening that blade looks like a proximity switch to detect a loose blade. if it is wired from the back of it than it's a proximity switch. Nice machine 😎

Wow that is pretty awesome I like the way it set up that would go real nice with the timberking

Just subscribe to your channel enjoy the contents Good job you have a good day

Muito bom ...obrigado por posta sua ideia

I've always loved the swingmill design concept. Also, the portability is superior to most bandsaw mills. I own a bandsaw mill but would love one of these to take into the woods and mill things in place. Much more difficult with my bandsaw mill.

Very cool video & saw mill. I would love to have one, I saw a video a couple days ago of a higher end Peterson that was insanely cool. Yep on KZfaq lol Birds of a feather flock together 🧡👌

Look at the teeth for rotation!!! If you back cut it will tend to climb out of the cut.

I upgraded my WPF and added an electric winch cuts down the walking and saves time also.

No it means that you are back cutting, if you let it pull more it would climb out of the cut!

What about the surface finish of the materials? Price of the machine?

That saw is cutting clock wise, the whole time

Too man operation should be horizontal cut first then the vertical is pulled through the wood and leaves the off-bearer clear.

Angle bandsawmill, I'D like to see one and a Amish bandsawmill

They aren't quartersawn boards, though. It has nothing to do with the right angle cut. Quartersawn boards have the grain running at right angles to the largest face of the board.

Beautiful wood, but it is actually Laurel Oak, not Water Oak. Laurel Oak is one of the more common oak trees in the southeastern USA. It is one of the Red Oaks, the wood coming off that log clearly puts it in the group. We have more Laurel Oaks here in north east Florida than any hardwood, and so many people think they are worthless other than firewood. Laurel Oak is good lumber too.

Is there a reason you did not quarter saw the mid section of the log?

@ 28:30 ish, if you'd lowered your track 1 inch and cut 6 inches deep horizontally, wouldn't it then have been quarter sawn lumber?

Jump to 11:00 to watch the mill.

they came out with a new sharpener and it is much easier to use and does a better job.

It is pulling because the saw is trying to climb out of the cut when you push on the vertical cut.

Have you tried a mobile dimension out of Oregon.

There is no reason why the set for the cut has to be in the center . Put it nearer the operator side so you don't have to step on or over the log to make adjustments

I see a tripping problem walking backwards

If you would cut the horizontal cut first and the vertical cut second you would not have the weight of the cut off on the blade. also, all you have to do is look at the teeth on the blade to tell which way you should be cutting, you were trying to saw with the back of the teeth when the saw was pulling through the cut.

the blade is fine you are cutting in the wrong direction and its very dangerous if you continue to cut like that one dat that mill will push you while you are backing up and if you trip or fall when that happens you might be missing some toes or worse another thing you just want to touch the tooth ever so slightly and sweep across the tooth 2 times the amount you took off to those teeth lost you about 5 sharpenings I sharpen approximately every 3 hours in soft woods and get around 25 sharpenings per set of teeth

Not an expert, but not sold on this one.

This video should be deleted if you were to cut a hard wood log like you showed the two person operation you would either jump the mill out of the log and derail it or have the mill run you down when you are doing the horizontal back cut.

Good way to get yourself hurt real bad I think your sharpening those teeth all. a way I'm not impressed sorry but I wouldn't buy that thing it's just an accident lookin for a place to happen sorry my rating is. you tried hard but it's a piss poor set up I'd have to be pretty hard up for ljumber

If you worked as much as you talked, you could clear a 100 acre forest in a day 🙄

Very greatfull millsaw ,how easy it works , how can i purchase this saw?. Maybe can i get a what's app num or email for this peterson mill saw ?.
