Another topic earlier this year rattled my chain and sent shopping:
Now I can only wonder what took so long?? I had tried a battery circle saw years ago which simply did not work. I just finished my first job with the "Hatchet" where my customer's wife cut all of the stickers to length. This thing
Good morning all,
I have a JD 440C skidder that I was going to change the oil/filter in, but after reading the manual for the appropriate viscosity oil, I am not sure that I should use what I use in all of my other diesels. I normally use Rotella T6 5W-40; however, the manual states that it should...

Six months ago the park fire took out my 60" circle saw. Because of same fire I ended up with 44 butt logs mostly cut at 8'-6" lengths. Average dia. at small end 34.7". Smallest end 30", various large ends over 60". Biggest small end 48". Two good friends in town have Wood Mizer mills, I took half the logs (mostly sugar pine with a few YP, DF, and cedar) to each mill. I have cut up logs like this before (see my gallery) but only for a few logs for my cabin interior, not for this many logs. We intend to cut these logs for large 12" thick cants to be stacked and stickered then cut to order later. Does this make sense? Read More
So as not to hijack the other thread, could one cut the original blades in half after sharpening and use them as split blades?? Am I attempting suicide if I try?? Thanks to KWood, I have a couple pairs of split blades coming, but I'm such a tightwad, I hate to throw the others out. May be best to just have my daughter paint some farm scenes on them and count it good as wall decor.Read More
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
