Finally pulled the trigger on a new mill for personal use. Went with the trailer package so I can use it at home and at the cabin. Ordered a box of 10 Ripper 37 blades from Jerrys as well . Now to get it together .
I was reading an issue of blade jumping on another forum and it ended up being too much water. Apparently the excess gets between the blade and the wheel and " floats the blade " out of proper tracking .Never seen anyone spray the cut with a garden hose .From what I have seen, too much water is a bad thing. It get's every place and washes out bearing ect..
I've been milling since 1996 and I never use more water than drip...drip...drip from the water tank.
You just don't need to add huge amounts of water, the logs are FULL of water...
