Finally made the decision!

step on them to brake them and make four flat pieces that go in the scrap pile.

My friend has a seat on his LT40 Super,says he will not saw without it. He just shoves the boards onto the loader arms or if he has an off bearer he lets them take care of it.

What do you do with the damaged blades?? 

If you use WM Resharp and are on the blade replacement program, put it in the box with the other dull blades.

Reswire,
Congrats on the new mill.   Glad you made it home safe and sound.  Sounds like you're getting right into it?  Thanks so much for your business and all your cooperation.

Congrats on the new mill. I will start the "I Sawed Into My New Mill" Betting Pool with 3 days. I figure he will saw into some part of the mill within 3 days of using the sawmill. Any takers?  ;) :D

Again, there are two types of sawyer; those who have tried to saw off a chunk of their mill and those who lie about it!

...I personally, have forgotten a time or two and removed some paint from the dogs

[backwoods sawyer]

If you just shine up the clamp and the saw has no issues do you put another slash mark under the made contact collum?  ;D

Kilgrosh,  a cruel gesture indeed, but DanGit you won.   2 hours in and I hit a nest of nails,,
Was too eager to use a metal detector I guess.  Log stops,,, maybe tomorrow??  :-)

Hitting nails is part of the job. I'll give that one to you. I was betting that you would hit your sawmill (log clamp, loading arms, etc.) within three days. I guess I lose the bet.  ;)

[Magicman]

Yes but hitting nails is not nearly as much fun as hitting sawmill parts.  Makes you feel so much less stoopid.   :D

..makes you feel stoopid, I agree; makes you feel REAL DUMB when its a brand new blade.  I usually hit the dog on the funny shaped logs after removing a few slabs and forget about the dogs being up.  >:( >:( >:(

Hitting nails,metal in the log is not your fault.It's the fault of who ever put it there.   ;D  Unless the signs of metal shows and you just keep sawing. Now those log stops are put there by the one sawing..... And by the way,I have never hit a log stop with a blade that I was just about to throw away.  :

Happy sawing, Sounds like you got some thing that will cut, and fast, Love mine!

I know what you mean.  It pays to keep it positive!  I found a few logs today, and can't wait to get into them real soon.  I'm really excited about this mill, it just has a good feel about it.  The lighter weight makes it easier to tow, and the mill head resting lower to the deck doesn't make it appear to be "top heavy" when towing.  Overall, I am very satisfied.  The only problem so far is when the debarker is beeping, my Chessie has a fit.  She practically climbed up my back and wrapped her paws around my neck! :D :D  It's good to know man's best friend loves you, but a little dangerous when all the machinery is operating.  I had to leash her away from the machine, I hope she gets used to it soon.  If that is my only problem, I think I can deal with it!

[thecfarm]

Probably hurts her ears, they are kinda piercing.I wonder if you could tape a piece of cloth over it to make it not so loud. Than in a week take a little bit off each time until it's all gone.

Good morning reswire. watch Band Sawmill Wood-Mizer LT40HD for sale by Guido Oberdorfer on you tube to see the operator sawing with a seat on the mill. Have a good day
