New diy sawmill build. I have only around 3 hrs of running mill. Two bearings per shaft. 1 1/4 inch shaft. Today I could hear a thumping noise and then one bearing blew up. Inside race cracked in half. Blade tension was set at 25 ft lbs. Other bearing on that shaft has play. I put a little grease in them, but not too much. Read More

Hi Guys,
I have a Gearmatic 8A that I have been working on. I got a bunch of new parts to put it back to factory specs and found out that someone cut the U-cup shoulder out of the bearing screw cap.
If anyone has a parts winch or knows where I can look for parts I would be grateful.
Thanks

I recently watched a video by " Sawing with Sandy". In the past he first had a manual Woodland Mills HM`130 and he used it for several years, then maybe 2 yrs ago he bought a Woodland Mills HM 130 Max, very similar to his original but able to cut bigger logs (but only slightly bigger). Now in the last month or so He bought a Clark Sawmill.Read More

Good morning folks,

I'm looking at adding a new Woodmizer EG200 edger to the lineup to aid in efficiency and production levels. I have not really considered other manufactures only because of the service I've received through WM, and so far I have been very impressed with quality. I'd welcome other suggestions for comparable edgers though. Read More
