Sawed 652 bd ft in 3-1/2 hrs alone today.
Norway Spruce.
Used a WM 7 degree .055 1-1/4"
You can really feed this blade fast.
Still wanders some but the stuff is dry as a bone inside.
Big logs for Norway from 18" to 22".

Hey Pete; Sounds like you are getting familiar with that new Super and all of those 51 horses!  ;D

I know that Spruce can be a hard item to cut.  Sounds like you found the right blade for it and your mill.   ;)

I still use the 10° blades, exclusively.  Works for me.  8)

Wish I could cheat like that.

Good job, if you have a setter try running more set in that dried out wood.     Steve
