That is a very nice setup!! As you get your headrig slab cut as well as 2 edger cuts all in one motion. Very time and handling savings!! Production enhancer!!
Yes, the other comment about everybody should pull from the green chain at least eight hours a day one time that is very true. You will get a different perception and I was one of a few jobs that I just hated when I was SAWMILLING
I did 3 yrs on a greenchain at 80,000 fbm a shift. Celgar lumber mill in Castlegar BC Canada. You need the right height with snall rollers on outside chains!! And a 3’x4” roller at piles of 14’ plus lengths.
You buy pizza for lunch on Fridays for the boys or is Miller time on your dime? I agree with a previous comment that everyone should do at least 8 hours on greechain duty. My first experience was at 16 years of age when me and another guy worked a two man chain piling 30,000 fbm a day for two and a half months (summer Job) in 1969. Next greenchain work was 1971 (grad year). Mill had two greenchains and an edge sorter. That mill was cutting almost 400,000 fbm a shit. This was a three line mill.
@@Helmsburgsawmill That is an awesome set up you have for cutting grade lumber. Cutting parallel sided boards without using an edger saves time and man power.
