    new project: milling BIG beech/mill build.

    I have been milling yesterday, have not had the opportunity to upgrade the mill but will get to that when the slabs are in the kiln. once i found the right feed rate i could just sit down and enjoy the cutting from a distance, this way i don't have to stand in the dust and the exhaust fumes. I...

    Milling trees floating in the ocean!

    I have had a bog oak log milled, these are oaks that have been lying underground for 2000-5000 years. I also find these logs contain a lot of sand so i think it will be a pain to chainsaw mill. and because of the small diameter i have had this one bandsaw milled. the wood will easily pay for the...

    new project: milling BIG beech/mill build.

    Given you have two power heads I am surprised at the slowness of the cut and the amount of dust being generated. What raker depth are you using? Beech is not that hard and can be cut with much lower raker angles than standard. sorry Bob i meant to say can't, was waiting for the ferry whilst...

    new project: milling BIG beech/mill build.

    Hi Bob, I am indeed having some flexing in the mill. The saws are as close to the mill as possible, i have to put the tensioner in the middle or they wont fit on the bar. I am indeed going to strenghten the mill but was in a hurry to get the slabs cut so they can go in the kiln. I...

    Hi Guys, I've been milling last weekend and have cut 4 slabs of the beech log by now. I lost the footage of the first 2 slabs so these are the third and fourth slab that came off. The mill ran pretty good, I've bought a tach and tuned the 084 and 880 to the exact same rpm, now i don't have the...

    new project: milling BIG beech/mill build.

    Hi KiwiBro, I do not have any pictures of the dry slabs yet, I have been milling today, have cut 2 slabs of the BIG BEECH log. (the log in the vid is a different log) these slabs will go straight into the kiln, no air drying so i guess these will be drying for the next 2 months at least. I...

    thanks for the link, looks interesting. I believe the logosol sauno wood kiln is based on this principle too.

    hey guys, found this saw on the dutch ebay equivalent. so i do not own it. the seller says it's a stihl, but i've never seen one of these before? it reminds me of an 08, but it surely is not. i thought it was a counterfeit, but the components look pretty decent build quality to me, unlike the...

    home built kilns

    for anyone who want to build his own kiln, the sauno kiln unit from logosol would be a great and inexpensive way to dry lumber quick with great results. if i were to build a kiln myself, i would purchase one of these units for sure.
