I do have a sweet spot for a sportster. Also I found out that after looking a Peter's shop that I am not the only man that can not throw away his stuff . Every time I clean out my shop it comes back to bight me .

What is it about the 1 1/2 X7'sX55  that you don't like?


They will catch bark, wood, all kinds of junk. I was always cleaning stuff out. With the 1ΒΌ blades, the junk would come out.
I don't know why Wood Mizer did not make wider wheels for the bigger horse mills I know the 70 has bigger diameter wheels, but, I think there no wider than a lt15.


[4x4 how wide are your wheels]


No machine Lawg Dawg, Just a set of torches.

And yes, I don't throw anything away. slider

The shop is used Leeb .

How do you do the heat treating?  I see the torch and arm, but how long do you let each tooth get hot?  Do you let them air cool or bath them after?  How much of a difference does it make?

With a small flame, I let the heat turn the tooth black, orange. I point the flame to the middle of the tooth, watch the heat go down the tooth. You want to go only half way down on the tooth. If you go down to the body of the blade the tooth will, snap off with the setter. :D

I use the Wood Mizer sharpener to index the blade with the oil off and the cbn wheel held up so it doesn't hit the blade. With the cbn, not spinning, It doesn't hit the same spot on the wheel and damage it.
With the speed adjust on the sharpener you can get good with the timing on the heat. It takes less than 3 min to treat the blade. Let air cool too.
I do it after I have ground off the hard part of the tooth, When you look at a new blade you can see the black. I save all the blade and fool with them in the winter when it's slow, or when a North Easter is going by.  :D

What I dose for me is make the blade stay sharp longer, Just like when new.

Hey Peter:
Is that going to fit all the (300+?) folks coming to Forestry Forum East shindig in May? :D :D  BTW, where is all your snow?  We still have 18" up North of you.  Only cutting I'm doing is my fingernails, waiting on some meltage....All the best, Rob.
If you have time, you win....

Well, whoever shows up I'll have a roof over them, It might be raining that day.
I think we have 30 or so might come.

Just think of all the lumber I can put in there.  :D

How do ya like this one?  My friend was nice enough to lend it to me to unload the grey star car. 


My friend told me he has 3 load like what he sent in on the pretty trucks sitting on the landing with my name on em.  His old man who runs loader asks me how much wood do you wanna buy from us??  I said I wanna buy all of it but I can't afford that much!!
