The setup was gonna be my comment. It looks like a great saw , but if it takes hrs to set it up especially out on a hot day that would be bad. I know they aren't as mobile but the swing blades that are set up on a log bunk like a band mill just seems more user friendly or at least a lot more simple.
If I understand rightly, you could then with a double cut get a beam 24 inches by what ever the tree can provide? If I am correct this machine would make one great beam and post producing machine!
ok I see all the different blade mills but one thing they don't tell you is how you level off the log . I see the bunkers on the ground but how does the saw make level cuts if its high on one end an lower on other what if ground isn't level . please explain
Dan butcher as every cut is equal to the previous. There is no need to have it level. It only needs to be aligned to the centre of the log before you start as a once of alignment. We don’t turn the log so your requirement isn’t necessary.
ok but if the log is high on one end then the other end when the saw blade goes through the wouldn't be lets say 2x6 on one end an 2 x4 on other end if log was 2" lower or does the blade float
Dan butcher not really understanding you. Blade certainly doesn’t float. The other end of the beam has a one off adjustment to align the saw to the log before milling begins. Everything is then sawn parallel until the end.
Thomas Brenes The guard swings up or is removed to enable a horizontal cut on the left of the log (right side of blade) and a horizontal cut or back cut on right of the log (left side of the blade). This is done in the horizontal orientation.
