Your very welcome!

Thanks for watching. I agree trimming flitches isn’t fun but sometimes the best lumber is hidden within them.

Thanks for watching. I usually hit the blade with a spray bottle of diesel between logs and sometimes at large knots. Otherwise I just use my soap and pinesol.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. This video has done really well compared to all my others. I don’t know why. I wish I did.

I’m not quite retired yet. I still have a couple of years to go. That’s why the videos have been scattered recently. I don’t have a lot of time right now. This is the busiest time for my heating and air conditioning business.

I would sell some of it. Green I would sell it for$3 a board foot so about $140 each. The plan is to air dry for a couple of years then kiln dry and build my daughter a coffee table, she just loves mine. Then build myself a kitchen table. Or build the table and sell it.

Thanks for the comment. Yea I have heard of it. Someone on woodmizer fb said they built some pieces that slid onto the nubs and get the edge of the wood but get you right up to the guide roller.

Yes just water at the moment. And about a 1000 lb. On the back. Off camera I got off and picked up the back tire by hand. Thank for watching.

Thanks for the comment. So far I am really enjoying it!

Most cherry in my immediate area is very crooked. I think as it is growing vertical the available sun moves and the cherry just leans towards the new best sun. Lots have four to six distinct angles in the usable tree.

Thanks I appreciate the comment.

Thanks

Thanks,but I was in a hurry. But want it right above all.

Thanks

Great hope it’s helpful.

You are welcome. The video is a little rough but I think it covers the basics. I would love to hear back from you when you are up and running. F30 #3 is supposed to allow you to leave all cuts in place until you are done. I can’t seem to find it to function correctly using the blue and green buttons. It won’t drop to the second cut.

Will do. Yes, that's what I understand as well should advance thru the cuts.@@hillsidemill

Great thanks

Thanks for sharing, yes I believe it was worth it.

Yes love the color of eastern red cedar.

Thank, I do have one. I just didn’t have it with me.

Thank you. Glad to know a fellow LT 30 owner. Here is a link to the website. I bought mine through a guy in Georgia that was selling them as a dealership. He was advertising on sawmill forums on Facebook at the time. The manual sucks. If you need anything let me know. I could make a video about it I suppose. www.lyuts-tech.com/product-page/computer-setworks-electronic-setworks

@@hillsidemill Thank you so much! A video about it would be awesome. The price on that setworks setup isn't bad at all.

I got you a video up. It’s a little rough but I think it works. ruclips.net/video/Yhi86ccm2oE/видео.htmlsi=PCLES_LP_x7rs4YP

www.lyuts-tech.com/. I have the sw-350. Great product. Unless they have changed the manual is terrible chinglish. There may be other features that I am not aware of. I used a winch relay to connect it to the up down motor. For the money the 23 hp predator does a good job. So far 100 hours and not a single issue. Predator is rated 23 hp at 3000 rpm Honda 25 hp is rated at 3500 rpm. Same motor though. The new side stops fit perfectly, the adjustments are opposite though. I got the matching plate as well.

Thanks for the info, I'll do some reading about the setworks. I was hoping to find a 30+ hp engine as lack of power has been the limiting factor to getting feed rates up but engines have been scarce.. WM doesn't want to talk about anything more than 25 hp for a repower kit@@hillsidemill

Thanks for the advice.

I appreciate the advice but I don’t think I will go that route.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback. I recommend you find a mill similar to what you’re looking at locally. See if you can help for a day.

Blades are fairly cheap by comparison to that.

And character is great

Thanks I appreciate it!

No, it’s completely flat. My blade lubricant is pumped in pulses. So for a few inches you have enough to wet the wood then none at all for a few.

I traded a former employer for some comp time. I think he picked it up from a pawnshop. I used it for many years and bought a new husky to replace it with. I ran it for a year and decided to put some money into the Sthil. New clutch and sprocket. New bar new filter box. That’s all I have ever done to it. Gas oil and chain. Cold, choke pull 3 times and starts if I’m fast enough to release the choke it’s running. If not 1 more pull and it’s running. Warm 1 pull and it’s going. When I got it it wasn’t using enough bar oil. I took it to a dealership and they said just use thinner oil. I tried it and it worked. From then on I just use used motor oil as bar oil and it works great and costs nothing. I have ran into hard teeth in the past. Usually when I have a chain made from a roll at a saw shop. Lately I by Organ full chisel chains. And have not had them with hard to soft teeth. I just file only. I can have a pretty dull chain sharp in the amount of time it would take to remove it and put a sharp one on. Not to mention the time to sharpen it while it’s off.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! North central Arkansas

When they were selling both LT30 and LT40 the only real difference was the length. It’s no wonder they phased out the LT30. 4 feet of frame could not have cut the production costs by much. Yes channel is growing! The one video with a lot of views are made possible from a extremely high amount of “new viewers “ according to the analytics. Where normal “new viewer” count is low. While some have returned I would like to see more of them return. So far I haven’t been able to figure it out.

Maybe this makes no sense but.............I've noticed that many of your videos with "sawing" in the title generally did better that ones without. I have since added "sawing" to the title of my recent videos and the views are MUCH higher than normal. Go figure. Dave

Yes I realized that as well and even changed a title,and it did improve. I had used the word milling and reworked it to have sawing. I still can’t figure where the other 100000 viewers went? Same tags same words in the description. Nearly the same thumb nail. Similar title. Oh and it’s still going. It has been outperforming my last two videos. It’s been out of a month.

🤣

Thanks for sharing

According to Wood mizer a standard LT40 requires a minimum of 875 MCA marine cranking amps. I found that a standard group 27 marine trolling battery was not sufficient. I bought a marine deep draw / starting group 27 900 mca. It seems to work well. I have a 120 amp alternator as well.

I have been accused a time or two.

I couldn’t agree more! I have a pretty good eye but slight curve in 16 feet with bark can be unseen.

Paul, the reason is more crooked on the mill is that the metal bunks and framework interfere with the natural magnetic fluxinations of the earth. I thought everybody knew that.

No they don’t. They don’t really want you to do any mods. at all.

I had wanted to but by the time I got under the sapwood it really wasn’t quite big enough. That’s why it’s common to quarter saw white oak. You can keep the sapwood it’s the same color. So a 20 inch log is big enough to quarter saw.

Be sure to check out the other video from the same tree. It produces better lumber.

Thanks for watching!

My pleasure

I appreciate the compliment! We do enjoy it, or at least I do. I hope you subscribed to make it easier to find upcoming videos.

God bless

Thanks Andy! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

An LT30 is a LT40 but 4 feet shorter. They were phased out of production in late 1990s. This one is a 1988 unit I purchased it within the last year it was a full manual mill. I purchased it disassembled and threw everything but the frame away. I had it sand blasted and began building it back and converting it to a hydraulic which were produced, just not this one. I have a solid 25 in it and lots of labor as well. But it’s really a new machine. Everything but the frame is and it’s been modified in places to accommodate the hydraulics. I have a video showing some on the modifications.
