On a circle mill, when you get the gullets too full, it hangs the saw.

it will do the same on a bandmill., if i slow up on the push the sawdust is expelled properly, if i slow too much it spills out. if i overspeed my push it will stall.
as i stated earlier, there are several varibles at work simultaniuosly, alter anyone of them and it changes the others at the same time. a person knows when his mill is running at full tilt and cutting well.

Yup, kinda like that magic and experience working.  You can feel it when it is right.   smiley_thumbsup

I can usually tell a circle mill just by listening to it.  I don't even have to be running it.  Must be magic.

Equations and calculation on goes so far, then you need experience and an ear and feel for the saw. I know I developed a feel for my manual mill.
