Thanks for this great video! I'm gonna buy the HD36V2. I wasn't going to go with any hydraulics but after seeing you use the log positioning and dog controls, they are a must have for a 1 man operation. Definitely a time saver!
Why do you turn the first face cut outside instead of press it against the back stops? Are they not perfectly 90/square to the bunks? My only concern with this HD36.
I always checked it either with a level or a square, just to be sure it’s square. And If your turn the first face out, you can cut into clean wood sooner, vs cutting through bark and potentially hitting dirt or rocks. But usually I’d turn the first face down onto the cross bunks. Another reason to set the first face out, is if the log has taper, I like to raise the small end to compensate. So If I turn the first face out, I can do both my compensated cuts first, at the same time. Vs having to do one, and then lower the toe board and then do the second one on the third cut. I hope this makes sense.
Any update on how you feel about the roller guides? I talked with Norwood tech the other day and they really pushed me to keep my ceramics. Their opinion is that the roller guides would be a downgrade. My biggest worry is the linear bearing rail in the adjustable guide, not being able to handle the pressure.
I still prefer them, over ceramics. In my experience they give you a better cut quality. I actually had to ship mine on the adjustable guide, I. Order for it to have pressure on the blade. But then in turn it was hard to adjust. I’m sure it’s not made for pressure like that, But if it didn’t have pressure, what’s the point of having it there.
@Plankmills For sure. I've been considering redesigning the adjustable guide rail with something different, so that it will take a roller guide, be really rigid and be adjustable as well. I get your point COMPLETELY. When I got Norwood tech on the phone, my biggest question/concern was that I'm sure that I put a roller guide on that adjustable linear bearing, it's gonna wreck it. It needs the downward pressure on the band and I'm sure that setup isn't capable of handling that load. I'm glad it's working out for you. If I come up with a different guide setup, I'll share it with you. How's your "situation" going? Did you move?
@williamprophett9148 interesting, yes it would be nice to have something more sturdy. Someone mentioned that they got guides for their Norwood from cook’s Saw manufacturing. They are adjustable which would be super nice. I think he said he welded them on.
Where are you located? How long have you been doing this? How much for equipment We have 12 acres in Georgetown Delaware Looking for solutions Thank you You are impressive AMDG
Hi, I used to live in Michigan, But last fall I sold my mill and move to TN, I had bought the mill in 2018. For around $13k I later added the hydraulic log clamping system and toe boards, and a blade sharpener and tooth setter which brought my investment up to about $20k I would recommend Norwood because they are fairly in-expensive and offer vertical operating log stops. And their shipping time is much quicker than most other manufacturers. I got my mill with an extra 4’ of bed length so that I could mill logs 16’ long. Just make sure you do your research and learn from others on assembly of the mill. If you choose to get one from Norwood that’s not assembled. Thankyou.
Unos 20.000 dólares. dólares americanos, con el que yo tenía. Si obtiene un paquete más básico, costará entre $ 10,000 y $ 15,000. Sé que envían a muchos países diferentes, pero no sé si envían a Ecuador. A ver si puedes encontrar Norwoodsamills.com
I only have the log clamping system, and the roller toe boards with hydraulics. Sometimes it would definitely be great to have the log Turner, Or log loader. But for the most part I can get by without those.

Thanks for not boring us with details like, 'I'm gonna go fill the gas tank' and then go fill the gas tank on the video.
@johnkrigin1535 Your welcome! I want to produce no-nonsense videos that people enjoy watching and are useful, educational, or entertaining.

Your welcome!! Yes! It definitely is a big time saver!
Awsom video, we saw pine on a Norwood bandmill, it's good to watch someone else work, great setup you got there🇺🇲✝️
First time ever viewing a hybrid methos of turning logs. Neat idea.
That was a great video. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad you liked it.
just love your set up well done
Thankyou!

Great looking pine boards. Wondering what you do with the sawdust you shovel out the window? Blessings to you.
Thankyou,
I have the tractor bucket right outside the window, so I shovel it into that and then drive it away and dump it on a pile.

Hey, does the disel effect the wood? And do you use pure disel or mix it with water ?
I don’t know that it affects the wood. It is an oily substance, so I guess it’s not really bad.
I’ve tried mixing it with water but it won’t mix.
In the winter I usually used windshield washer fluid.
Los aserradero para el Ecuador desde que precio lo tenemos ??? gracias por la información

I notice that you have hydraulics, but I don't see a log "roller" how does that work for you? Any regrets or is it there and I just don't see it?
I only have the log clamping system, and the roller toe boards with hydraulics. Sometimes it would definitely be great to have the log Turner, Or log loader. But for the most part I can get by without those.
Boa noite qual largura da lâmina e qual o passo do dente ?
Good video. I advise to use your goggles to protect your eyes.
That would be a good idea.
Depending on which way the wind is blowing, the sawdust really gets in your eyes.
Keren banget kawan
She’s just marrying you for your sawmill ; )
