No way would I buy a new mill.just to put simple set on it.
Accuset 2 is superior in every way.

Just being honest, I have NO IDEA what Accuset does.
What I do know is I saw a board and the Simple Set brings the blade right back down to where I need to saw the next board. Simple. ;D

The option that I curiously did not see was a Debarker which also depends upon the majority of your market.  ???  Mostly clean logs, OK.  For me it would be a blade killer.   :-\

Of course I also would have ordered an 'Operator's Seat".   :D

Mr. Poston Sir:
Was the ordering of a new mill the result of having suffered a temporary brain freeze?
I hear you folks have had some cooler than normal weather.
The forecast here for the next few days is snow, cooling temperatures and up to 60 mph winds.
Sounds like feed the wood stove and hibernate weather to me.

Must have been a malfunction of my brain vs. key pad....I can assure you it will have a debarker on it.  :)

Why you need a debarker? I know goats make some funny noises, but I never heard one bark.

Easier to get an option with a piece of euipment when you order it. I have got something,bigger than what I need at the time,and than 2-3- years down the road I need it that size.
Than I suppose the debarker does not have to be used,but if it's there might just well use it.

Mr. Poston....
I don't know enough to be critical of your purchase.....
But I do know enough to be a bit envious!!! :laugh: :laugh:
Best wishes with production. I look forward to seeing pics and vids. You're close enough I might be able to visit and see in operation.

And now we know how they solved the wide-head debarker design issue.  Very clever. :)

   I'm interested in hearing "Dueling Banjo's" played on a couple of sawmills too. ;D

   While I don't like learning new things at my age and I love my SimpleSet I did run a guys LT50 with AccusetII on it and what I saw of it I really, really liked and if I were buying a replacement mill I'm pretty sure I'd include it.

    I am still waiting for a good detailed report on the wide mill feature and see how it does. I'm thinking 95% of the time you will be cutting the same size wood you could cut with your regular mill so should be no difference (except you have more teeth spinning on the band so you get through the same cant/board with less revolutions- which I think should be a wash). What I really want to see is how it works in really hard, wide crotch wood.

What accuset2 does is it knows where the sawhead is AND where the bed is. This allows it to remove math almost completely from sawing. In pattern mode you can saw a preset board thickness down to a preset cant size(or last board) without having to figger out where to start in your head and will eliminate dog boards completly.  And much more.

I have the Command Control option and in retrospect the Accuset would have been worth it simply for the blade height readout. Vision isn't what it used to be and I'm not expecting it to get better.

What I really want to see is how it works in really hard, wide crotch wood.



Most of my big log slab crotch sawing is done for customers....not for me.
The wide head will give me 6 more inches and I can't tell you how many times I wished I had just
1 more inch of clearance.  :D

I have never been one for speed....just getting a good, smooth, flat cut on a huge crotch slab is my priority.

When sawing over sized logs, I charge a premium....my time is figured in at all speeds.

With the wide head, turbo 7 blades and diesel HP.....I should do just fine. Just waiting now.

By the time I get finished showing y'all some stuff about this wide head.....
y'all will be lined up at Woodmizer wanting to trade or buy a new Wide Head mill.  :D :D :D

Buy a new wide head on Feb. 29, 2018  and mention promo code "Goat" and receive a $300 discount.   :o :o 8) :D
