That’s only half speed. That’s a supervisor at lunch filling the resaw deck to try to get ahead a bit. The normal sawyers just pound it out. It’s really something to see
Oh but it is faster! Maybe just not in this video. Plus there is much less waste in sawdust for starters. Then you can also cut much larger logs. Aaaannd in my opinion,able to cut more lumber before a saw change. Not to mention if you hit a nail you can keep cutting with a band saw, whereas most likely with a circular saw you would have to shut down and repair the issue. The circular saw has its place and the bandsaw has its place. And it also depends on the sawyer how he is experienced at operating whichever. But the final analysis is , you get more yield from a bandsaw. Hope that helps.
I enjoy watching that big band cut!

Thats nice sized maple. We're sawing hard maple now, and is it is hard in the -20cold
Ya hard maple it’s rock solid at -20 If you cut too fast we will get a lot of inconsistent lumber thick and thin all over
Thank you for sharing another great video! Dan
What is the advantage of the double cut bandsaw over the circular saw? It doesn't seem as fast.
The double cut is much better for sawing grade lumber the kerf is much less John Naturkach has the answer hopefully he will see this post lol
