      This young gentleman is extremely proficient at aligning the Woodmiser. I'm very impressed at this young man knowledge and ability to alight a very complex piece of sawmill equipment. I didn't know there were so many adjustments needed to align a sawmill to produce consistent products. Not only for consistent products out but for the life of the saw mill performance.

    This old saw filer learned a thing or two! I commented on your short about broken blades that it was the lack of proper annealing on the butt weld. But I can see how riding on the guide flange would break blades. The guide blocks we used in the mill where I worked didn't have any sort of flange on the back. Great, informative video!

    @ronallen6578 4 месяца назад

    Yea, I'm late viewing this. It's amazing just how many measurements were off. A little here and a little there adds up to quite a lot. Hopefully this will take care of the breaking blade issue. Somewhat surprised that Woodmiser doesnt have a fine adjustment manual control for setting those critical set-ups. Maybe the next re-design will address it. Very informative video. Hang on to it 😂😂

  • @robertmw1475
    @robertmw1475 4 месяца назад

    Glad you have a video...now we know what he knows. Find those alignment tools & get a set.
    Machines need calibration also. Make sure to keep a date stamp to determine when they go out of whack to know when and what to look for. About every year for some of ours, some every day. Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance.
    Not a reference to logging equipment. Thermo forming in aviation for the record. Different world entirely, but all machines are pretty similar, they all use mechanics & computers nowadays.

  • @lardo666
    @lardo666 4 месяца назад +4

    Emerald - if you want to predict how far '3 flats' will move - you can. Find the size of the bolt (say 3/8 UNC) and look up the pitch (16 TPI). 3 flats is 1/2 a turn, so the bolt moves 1/2 of 1/16 or 1/32 of an inch.
    Now, if the adjustment isn't in a straight line, but pivots around something (as in the blade tilt) - there's one more step. You need to measure two distances - adjuster to pivot and pivot to measurement point. The movement of the measurement is the adjuster movement times measurement distance, divided by adjuster distance. (Look up first and second class levers for details).
    A bit of maths to do (a one-off task for each adjustment) but could make it quicker to adjust 'right first time' - maybe useful with cold fingers in the winter.
    The other way is to ask Grandpa if he has a 'dial gauge' to spare. Rig up a stand to support this and you can see the adjustment taking effect as you move it - no maths needed! (Well - apart from converting the gauge (in thousandths of an inch) into 1/16th (62.5 thou) or what the maker asks for - you'll quickly learn these numbers)
    It's great to see you wanting to understand your machine - that effort will pay dividends in the future. Stay safe y'all and enjoy the summer.

    The reason you need two positions for the height calibration is that two points define a line.
    The computer will interpolate between the 30" and 6" transducer values to calculate the actual head height values.
    This assumes that the transducer is linear in that region and that the ADC errors are small relative to your readings.
