Sawmill warning to all users

I believe there were 2 LT-80's built in the US. Someone (Bibbyman, I think) posted some pictures on the forum. It had 2 axles and 26' cutting length.

   I keep thinking about how handy that Auto-Up function of Acccuset II would be. Set it on a known starting point on the 4th face then auto up in various increments of the boards I want then stop when I run out of clear face, switch to auto down and start sawing. Would be more accurate than me trying to add different thicknesses and kerf in my aging and decrepit head.

   I don't know how many of you with A-II that way but if I had it I'd sure be trying it that way.

Often do that. And additionally, the pattern mode gives the known starting point.  Accuset II all about not having to add different thicknesses and kerf.  Nevertheless it helps to remember what they should be, in case it makes a mistake as happens sometimes.  When cutting in the pattern mode I recognize most of the height settings it goes through on the way down.

Looked like the saw head was a little shaky on the return trip. That's a long way up to support.
That was a really big log.

I can grab onto the head of my LT40 and shake it and when I have it at the top of the mast on the return trip, I have noticed some movement. But so what?  It has never been unstable in the cut and always cuts parallel to the bed. Wood-Mizer's cantilever head is engineered to be stable where it counts.
