Tony - it is a little bit of work - but you can do 20" boards if you really want to - just turn the power head around and run it from the other end. Aussie ingenuity mate
Like the old saying “ if there is a will there is a way” you folks down under just figured it out first😂. All kidding aside this is one well thought out piece of equipment! Thanks for watching, sharing and commenting 👍TCT
Steve I thought so as well. Though it can’t make slab lumber like your mill it definitely processes dimensional lumber quickly and easily. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
That is definitely a neat saw mill. I can really see the benefits of have a circular saw like that. It was very impressive on the speed of cutting them boards. Stay safe my friend
John hope you and Sara had a great Thanksgiving. This mill is nothing like yours but it was interesting for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
The Lucas mill is definitely an awesome piece of equipment when processing logs into dimensional lumber. Appreciate you sharing! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Craig I showed this to Chris at the Paul Bunyan show last fall. if we were doing Milling the Lucas saw would be something to try. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Frances it was a cool mill and though it’s been out there it’s not as popular as the standard bandsaw mill. Hope you had a great TDay with Brittany and the Boys. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Rick that’s a reasonable price for what that machine can do. You can be proud of one of your Kinsmen who invented it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I don't have any experience with bandsaw mills but I do see where they both have there advantages and disadvantages. Definitely different to what is the normal. Thank you for taking us along.
Daniel you’re right everyone’s need and their equipment should match their need's. No one mill will work for everyone. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Tony, great content as usual. Didn't know there was a mill that cut lumber in that manner. Learn something new everyday. Thanks. Have a merry Christmas my friend. Rob...
Rob, glad you enjoyed the video and content. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Hope you and your family have a safe, happy and healthy Christmas as well. 👍TCT
I met Alan a few years ago on a volunteer job, great guy plus I John Bailey the son of Baileys they started the company in small town in laytonville California great family owned business..
Allan it really is a different concept then a standard bandsaw mill. It seems very proficient for dimensional lumber for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Larry I was lucky to see the Lucas mill at both Bunyan and Mother Earth Fair and learned different thing about the machine. It definitely is a nice piece of equipment. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Years ago, I had 4 huge pines milled into limber with a LucasMill that belonged to a guy further down the valley. 400 10 ft 2x4s, all cut in one day. I built woodsheds, a pig shed, a chicken shed, and a bunch of other stuff. They are a superb piece of kit. If I had a woodlot, I'd get one in a heartbeat.👍🪓🇦🇺
I was memorized when watching them make different size dimensional beams and boards quickly, easily and accurately . It definitely is an awesome piece of equipment. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
It is hard to beat a swingblade sawmill for making finished dimensional lumber right off the log. Lucas isn't the only manufacturer or style of swingblade sawmill. For milling big logs they are certainly the ticket.
I agree after seeing several swing blade mills they are the choice for quick processing of trees to lumber. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
G'day Tony, Have I seen you with that Chris in the wood yard dude ? I'd stay away from him he's trouble 😀. I've got a 10/30 Lucas Mill but the hour meters worn out 👍.
ha ha yes you’ve seen me with that shady character Chris and you’re right he is trouble. You’ve must have fun over the years operating a great piece of equipment like the Lucas mill. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
The Mother Earth show was in Sept (West Bend WI.) There are a few more locations they have their show in the US. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I totally agree, after seeing the Lucas mill produce dimensional lumber extremely fast. Great piece of equipment. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Certainly is. Weve had our 827 for a long time, maybe close to 20 yrs, and the tach/hr meter finally quit! Rugged machine and makes excellent lumber and can resaw lumber if you machine a log and leave a step,like an 'L' and set the boards in it. Can cut an edge straight with the blade vertical, and remachine the thickness with it horizontal. Just have the 'L' part as a stop so the blade rotation pushes it to the lip.. and many more cool things you can do with a lucas mill!
@@brokenujoints3811 Without a doubt the lucas mill is a serious piece of equipment Definitely takes logs to lumber quickly. Thanks for watching and commenting. TCT.
