I am a bit shocked at how slow this machine cuts. I was expecting a lot more speed out of the model. For the price of this operation you need a lot bf an hour than what is being seen here. A circular mill is at least twice as fast with just a bit more waste.
Hi John, very good catch. This video was taken during initial testing, where we purposely limit machine speed to get the operator use to the controls. We're cutting significantly faster today after the initial training period. Compared to the circular saws, we generally do cut a bit slower on the band-saws, economically speaking though, our customers have testified to higher dollars and cents at the end of the month by taking the band-saw approach. This is of course dependent on specific circumstances of each mill.
A circle saw correctly matched to the timber could be 10 times faster but a wide bandsaw of that size with logs that size should be run at about 120 feet a minute. Anything much below that and the teeth are rubbing so going blunt quicker and the sawdust is to fine to be carried by the gullet. Sawdust left in the cut heats the blade and destroys the tension. Better to teach someone the correct way so they can see what they HAVE to achieve. Very few sawyers pick it up by themselves.
Absolutely amazing. I love the conveyor belt for the sawdust also!
Idk why it was in my recommended but it’s odly satisfying to watch
