Norwood beats Woodland hands down. Woodland Mills is nothing but a hobby mill, I don't like anything about them and the deck looks flimsy to me. I wouldn't want to try producing quantity with that. Can't do upgrades either. Norwood now has a new improved roller bearing system out for $450. Much more adjustable. Watch William Prophett, he shows the entire installation process and it makes some beautifully straight cuts.

I agree with you and thank you. However, Plank Mills was the first guy to convert over to roller guides on the HD36. He is the reason that I decided to change over. I'm not sure what his angle is "here," but he's a good sawyer.

That’s kinda what I thought until I used a woodland. They’re actually built a lot better than it looked like to me. I agree that it’s more of a “hobbyist” mill if you will. And yeah it’s definitely slower. Because of the manual log handling. But I do think you can add some stuff on. Or change some things. We plan on getting the better log clamps and modifying them to make them adjustable vertically.

Why did you get rid of your Norwood as I thought your shed and set up was quite good for a young fellow. Ihave a LM 29 with a 16 hp Brig and a 20 ft heavy duty trailer it sits on with Power feed up and down . Also Woodlands Tooth setter and Sharpener. I am a retired Builder and treat mine as a hobby and cut timber for people who bring trees to me. Bandsaw Milling for a business is a hard call for a small setup. I think the woodlands mill is good for the money. I would put it on a trailer to get extra height for Dogs and clamps it gives you more versatility for hydraulics and toe boards down the track. Good milling 😊

@robertalexander6637 I sold it because my parents sold their place and move out of state, so I had to move as well. As my mill shed was at their place. And I also moved to TN so I decided to sell. Now I wish I had kept it. But the money came in handy as I got married last September.

I have the hd36v2 and love it. I hope to get hydraulics in the future. I was looking at the hm130 max on the trailer. Woodland mills make a good tough machine. When ya learn your machine then you can make clean accurate lumber. Just a learning curve. If I buy a piece of land in Alaska I will have a woodland mills sent there rather take my Norwood. Get the mill setter sharpener, the trailer package. Basically the whole shooting match with extra parts.

I have the 126 with the 14 HP engine and the power is quite good. The scale I use is the white one which is setup with the kerf factored in. Depending on how many boards you’re cutting or the thickness each scale will yield a different result. But when cutting 1x’s on a 14” log it holds very accurate. Cutting 4” thick planks will yield much extra thickness. I also have the latest clamps and they are much easier and quicker although they can be a bit annoying sometimes. I’ve never had the bark issues on the bunks but I can see what you mean. I do like the quality of the steel and the thickness and how heavy built it is. There are a lot of spots where the edges of the paint come off or crack then start rusting a little.
@Plankmills
@Plankmills Ай бұрын
Oh Nice! I like the Norwood’s scale much better and it was way more accurate in my experience. Also it has many different thicknesses of lumber scaled with the kerf factored in. So that was another feature that was super handy.

Awesome video's.. that is assuming that your bunks are level. I really do not think it matters if the blades is level in needs to be parallel with the bunks. So you can level the blade but also measure down from the blade to the bunks on each side to verify they are parallel to each other. Have a nice day

Why do you turn the first face cut outside instead of press it against the back stops? Are they not perfectly 90/square to the bunks? My only concern with this HD36.
@Plankmills
@Plankmills Ай бұрын
I always checked it either with a level or a square, just to be sure it’s square. And If your turn the first face out, you can cut into clean wood sooner, vs cutting through bark and potentially hitting dirt or rocks. But usually I’d turn the first face down onto the cross bunks. Another reason to set the first face out, is if the log has taper, I like to raise the small end to compensate. So If I turn the first face out, I can do both my compensated cuts first, at the same time. Vs having to do one, and then lower the toe board and then do the second one on the third cut. I hope this makes sense.

I have to let off the gas slowly at the end of the cut to keep it from back firing. Those carburetors are very sensitive to ethonol gasoline (more government stuff) too.

I have thought about adding just what you had on that one because I don’t really need the loading arms and think they would mostly just get in my way and I think I would rather push the saw than have auto feed because I like to feel what the saw is doing and as for as power up and down, that crank handle that is on it works pretty good and helps keep me in shape. 😂 If I could find the right buyer for my HD36 I think I would sell it and buy an Hd38 and add the hydraulic log stops and clamp to it. The reason for my thinking on that is for the increased throat capacity above the blade on the HD38.

I’m guessing that’s because of ice damming. If that happens or even a lot of snow and the water could possible seap in through the ribs if it has enough water standing or puddling under the snow and ice. But the only scenario I’ve seen a low slope roof like this leak is where there was a low slope valley that wasn’t installed correctly. Are you saying the roof is 1/2 of 1/12 pitch?
