The simple set is amazing. A time saver!

   Yep, I love my SS too. I'm attaching a copy of my cheat sheet I use so I land on my mark every time.

 I open the first face, flip 180 and saw to the final width of the boards I will produce, flip 90 degrees, saw all the round off till I have completely square corners on the cant and flip 180 to the final face and start on whichever mark on my cheat sheet will give the boards I want. Save me an extra cut on almost every cant without leaving a thick or thin dog board too. Enjoy.

BTW - the cheat sheet allows/assumes 1/8" kerf so my SS setting for 1" boards is 1-1/8", 2" boards is 2-1/8", etc.

Is this your first experience milling?

Enjoy, it's the most work you'll ever enjoy

I had a Logosol csm for a number of years. This is my first bandsaw. Sort of like a model T racing a top fuel dragster!

Nice job and mill.  I can't see the gauge too clearly on the video but it looks like your blade tension is quite low, with the point of the needle at the 12 o'clock position?  Maybe not, I can't see it well. 
  
The blade tension is akin to the blood pressure of the mill, too low or too high, bad things happen, just right and it's magic.  

Have fun!

I noticed you have to keep an eye on the tension. Thanks!
