- Lessons Learned Milling Red Oak on the Woodland Mills (Sawmill)
This sure didnt go as planned, but was fun either way. In this video I talk a little about blades and blade tracking. Also share a mistake I made and what I did wrong.
Ive had days like that lol ...man i wish i could get that red oak here...cheers mike
Maybe I should come visit and bring some with me!
@@practicallyIndependent that would be awsome if you could come out for a visit
Glad to see a real situation for a change.
Mistakes happen and its good for people to see that. Too many people are hard on themselves. When this stuff happens to me I take it as a lesson and move on. Thank you for watching
Good tip on 'smacking' that follower wheel. I often wondered how changing a blade could throw my tracking that far off. I'll give your way a try on my next blade change.
It took me a while to figure that out. Changing blades would really mess me up. Once I realized this it made thing so much smoother changing blades. Let me know how it works for you
No need to smack it when you can use the adjustment bolt. If it is over 1 1/2 yrs old call Woodland and get the updated adjustment bolt. Tracking problems also come from different blade manufactures as the length is different. I know that from experience and dealing with Woodland, along with a tracking problem. When all else fails call tech support.
Nice wood that red oak....not as good as white but still nice....never goes 100%....if it did we all be retired....CHEERS
I always find a way to break something, lol
Mike. Next time y’all are passing through just drop me a load of that red oak off. Nice tip on smacking the following wheel. I reworked the end of the tracking bolt when I first got my mill. Haven’t had any trouble with tracking since.
Was wondering how often you wack your knees on the jack handles?
Lol, surprisingly I never hit the Jack's with my knee. I've gotten used to it. Also havent lowered the mill as I am finding I like the height of it. Being 6ft tall i dont gave to bend over as much.
Chris Cox could you please explain how you reworked the tracking bolt. Might be something I need to try. Thanks

I did a little grinding on the end to make it fit in the recess better.
What problem are you having?
Chris Cox thanks for the reply. Just seems like at times it just doesn’t want to track right but not all the time. I think grinding the bolt trick might help. Got new belts but sometimes it’s a pain to track

I had problems with slinging the blade off. Contacted Woodland Mills, their advice was to take some sandpaper and scuff the following wheel belt then cut a log with no lube to break the belts in. Haven’t had any more problems with the blade coming off
Edit. Be sure to wipe the new blade down to get the shipping oils off
Well no one was hurt so just learn from your mistakes . That what I have been told .
So true. That is how I now look at these things. Two important things that I have to keep reminding myself is that you will never please everyone and you will never be perfect.
Dillon looks like your mill is way to high to work with easy
It works good for me. I'm 6ft tall. Being on a trailer raises the height a bit as well. I used to have it a lot lower, but prefer the higher height now. Thanks for watching!
you are fired get emma and stacey back to work
Lol, might have to this week. My knee it flared up.
