My clamp has fangs.  ;D

@PAmizerman doesn't look like it's doin ya much good!!!  lol

[PAmizerman]

I'm like you 4x4. I need mo room. I'm not gonna set stuff up at my current location ( my dad's back yard). I'm gonna save my money for a couple more years and get things set up the way I want them at the new property. Believe you me I'm sick and tired of shoveling sawdust but at least I can see a light at the end of the tunnel now and finally found some ground that I can move to. In due time I'll get there. I don't want to get so far in debt that it scares me. I have the blower because the deal was too good to pass up.

Did you start out at you're current location or move there? Does being out along the road seem to help business?

[Peter Drouin]

The fang thing is good as long as you move the clamp away from the cant before you lower it. The fang will rip two ½" holes in it.

Had a little trouble with the mill not going down when I hit the down switch. [ in patten mode] I would have to push two times to get the head to move sometimes. I put new up and down switch in, and that helped some. 
So the today I put a dampener in on the transducer from Wood Mizer.


 


 
I talked with Wood Mizer and they think the wire might not be too good too, so a new one went in.


I tried it and it seems to work. Will know tomorrow. I all so put a new piece of plastic on to help keep the sawdust from packing around the guide wheel.


 
It will rub on the blade when I tighten it.

Rain here today that will help keep the dust down. 8)


 


 
Even Rocky was happy.  ;D


 

[PAmizerman]

Have you had the plastic on previously or is it a new idea? Seems like it may plug the lubemizer?

Hope the new parts fix the problem.

[Peter Drouin]

Lube is ok. I do it to stop the sawdust from plugging up the guide wheel.

That's a good idea right there!    I've also tinkered around with various pieces of plastic and scotch brite pad to keep the guides clean. Looks like your piece of plastic is thicker than a piece of coffee can

[Peter Drouin]

A piece of a plastic bucket. I cut the whole thing up Will have 30 or 40 pieces.

A truck from Boston dropped off some 200-year-old timbers for me to cut into flooring.
This should be fun.  :


 


 


 


 


 


 
:D :D :D :D :D

[Lawg Dawg]

Oh Lorty!  Did you not order the "nailess" beams? 

[Bruno of NH]

That will be a job

[PAmizerman]

And you even got a full load of fun!!
You plan on just using standard double hard bands?

[WDH]

Good thing that they came de-nailed :D.

My friend does alot of resawing old barn timbers and walnut and stuff and he's always hitting metal.  He said he uses Morse M-34 bandsaw blades because they take cut through metal and keep cutting "the best".  Worth a shot maybe idk

[Peter Drouin]

I have boxes of used blades that will be just the thing to use. ;)
The biggest thing is when they clean the old mill it was sandblasted clean.
Think there's sand in the wood?  :D :D :D :D :D

They sandblasted the wood ??? 
Think they used walnut shells?

[Peter Drouin]

I'm not sure what they use, But I can feel the grit on them.

[4x4American]

Man oh man what did you get yourself into!!  lol

[Nomad]

     I do quite a bit of that kind of thing.  You've got your hands full.

[Peter Drouin]

I like the challenge. ;D  Every day is a new cut list.

[SawyerTed]

I'm interested in how you will remove the largest spike/bolt in the photo.  Will you remove it or as the posts above suggest, saw through them?
