Metal is ugly, but a fact of life in our line of work, it can be done, just a cost, david

I know about the "no metal" thing. I had a customer tell me there was no metal in a tree. He was standing beside me when I hit the first nail. When I pulled the slab off and showed him, he said "There were no nails in that tree!!!" I guess he thought I spiked it to charge him for a band.

Why don't you guys get a junkyard car radiator electric fan. They are 12V so, a decent battery will run it for several hours. The electric start mills could even charge another battery while y'all are sawing.

At first I thought you found a quarter in the log. ???

POSTONLT40HD:
This post has been very educational for me. Can some one tell me what all types of logs will change color on the cross cut and show blue or purple if they have metal in them? Last summer in the third or fourth pass I hit a lag bolt in a pine log. The blade was history. As an FYI I charge $10.00 and the cost of the blade when I use them as a metal detector. The $10.00 is to cover some of the lost production time.
Metal is one reason why I like to unload the logs from the customer's trailer or whatever directly onto the mill and saw them with the owner present. I once told a customer that I thought that I had hit 2 nails. He turned over the slab and told me I had hit 3 of them. Gerald

Maybe the field that tree was in was a magnetic field!

I use an electronic metal detector before using the saw as a detector. I've still hit a couple since I got the electronic one. One was porcelain insulator with a lag bolt that got missed, another had a whole bunch of tiny nails (3P?) and the detector missed them too. Other than that I've been lucky. I can detect over 8" deep and my Peterson can only cut 8" deep, good match.
