I recently found your channel and a couple others that talk about sawmill. I am a fairly new owner of a Timberking 1600 and I appreciate what you and many others are teaching. In this episode and the one about setting and sharpening I learned a great deal. Muchas Gracias pues.
Thank you. Great info for this newcomer. Purchased an old LT40. Came with a sharpener. Hence, I am searching for knowledge. You're correct on the less set down lower.
Robert Westfaul in Lucedale, Mississippi is a treasure of knowledge on sawmill blades, his son Howard is greatly knowledgeable as well they are extremely helpful and friendly 😊😊
Woodmizer and Lennox make the best blades. 040 and .045 thickness are the only way to go. Anything thinner just wont last or cut straight. I figure 10- 12 hours( 6x resharpe) on a blade and its scape metal.
Good one Thomas... Thank you. Regarding blade thickness; it seems to me that the 55's do not last quite as long as those in the 40 range (41, 42, 45). I've had breakage much quicker on the 55's, but they do seem to cut flatter. Thanks again!
