Four Headblock Circle Mill Again

[Ron Wenrich]

Sounds like you only have to eyeball the opening face cut with the dial.  After you get your numbers set in your head, it will get a lot easier.  Hitting set will take a lot of the tedium out of what you were trying to do.

I was sawing big pin oak today 16 feet 39 inches on the small end, the mill might be automatic but the rest is all man power. six inches by twenty six  inches cants just about all I could do to handle. Get them out of the way then to reload them to saw into two inch stock. When I left tonight I had three four by twenty six inch by sixteen foot left on the dock,tomarrows another day. My help went home at noon said he had a sick cow and had to call the vet. Sawing logs like that will get old pretty quick by yourself. It all came back to me today I always told people that the fun part of a sawmill was getting it to run and see the first board come off the saw after that it is all work !
