Hello Mr. Patton. I was so pleased to see your channel again. Somehow You Tube dropped you off my subscription channels. You have grown a lot since I last saw one of your videos. Great choice on the 70 series Wood Miser and a big addition to your gear is the mini excavator. You were talking about blade problems and I think you should watch Out of the woods videos with Nathan Elliot as he has a saw blades he use’s with very few if any problems. He almost always speaks about the silver tip blades in the intro so give him a shout out and I think it will be worth your while. Again I’m glad I found you and will look at your library and catch up on videos. Best Regards Fred Thomas in Skokie IL.
Hey thanks for watching! Things have been going crazy lately. Very thankful for everything. Ok sounds good I will definitely have to take a look at those blades and see. I appreciate the advice. Happy holidays
Nice video Tyler. Those are nice looking pine logs...good size! Even though you run a lot of red cedar through the mill, you still have to be flexible on what you cut, especially when it is contract milling. You don't want to scare off customers...you don't know what they will want cut the next time. As long as you can fit them in, they are work and you want to make sure it keeps coming. My buddy just finished cutting a load of black walnut for one of his regulars and they were the customer's logs. They were really nice looking live edge slabs. Looking forward to the next vid.
On my Timberwolf sawmill the bed is 40' long and we can mill a log 29' long. The longest log we have actually milled has been 25' and they were actually Eastern Red Cedar. We have milled 3 of them in the last 13 years.
Good to have you back. Good job on that pine. The LT70 can really put out some lumber. Too bad about the blades. What type of Timberwolf blade are you using? Dave
We use the Timberwolf cobalt blades and even though they are a lot more expensive they last a lot longer for us. We have a new Cook sharpener and setter so I sharpen our own blades and things are working a lot smoother.
@@pattonwoodworks If blades break at the welds it's usually because of bad welds. If they break in other spots it's usually because of to much tension on the blades. We had that problem years ago and backed off on the tension and we rarely break any now.
@@pattonwoodworks Okay, thank you! At the Paul Bunyan show in Ohio back in October I talked to them and was thinking about ordering some blades. I found out that they are only carbon steel. So I didn't order any. I run a Baker bandmill 3640E. 480 3-phase with the Baker edger. I've been using Cooks super sharp blades since 2003. Have good luck with them.
@@pattonwoodworks another thing is about 3 months ago I put on a couple of Cooks drip lubricators and use used transmission fluid we get from a transmission shop. I have never seen blades so smooth and slick. I have tried everything, water soluble cutting oil, soap, cutting fluids, you name it and tranny fluid blows them all away. I never have any sap buildup on the blades, rollers or the steel blade wheels. It just drips so I only use about 1/2 gallon a day at the most. I think it's making my blades last longer and improves the horsepower because the blades are slick and smother.
Check out that silver something blade the guy on out of the woods uses because he's been bragging big time on them. Have you thought of a overhead system to catch the dust. I'm sure the folks that that make potpourri satchels/pouches and pure ceder pouches would pay a premium for pure ceder saw dust.
Ok sounds good I appreciate that I will check it out. Yeah I’ve thought about it a lot I’ve got a few options but I’m saving for a few other things first. We have had a few people buy the sawdust for those, we mainly sell it for horse stalls

Thank you! Good info on the blades too, much appreciated! I hope you have a rewarding 2022!

Hey Buddy, I thought you quit making videos. I know you are busy. Glad to see you again.
Hey! Nah just took a break for a while things have just been so crazy lately. Thanks for watching

Thanks Tony. Yeah they turned out well. Yes exactly I completely agree. That’s great to hear!
Glad to see you back on video. Have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks you too!

I gotcha that’s awesome! That is a very long log for sure. At least cedar is light to handle
awesome video
Thanks!
Good to have you back. Good job on that pine. The LT70 can really put out some lumber.
Too bad about the blades. What type of Timberwolf blade are you using?
Dave
Thanks! Hopefully the Timberwolf will be better. So far so good. Looks like they are the 102SS blade. Not cobalt or anything special.

That’s great to hear! Yeah these aren’t cobalt but I like them so far. Glad to hear it’s going good for you. Thanks for watching
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Do you brake woodmizer blade also?
I’ve only ran a few Woodmizer blades on this mill. I remember they sent me 2 of them to try out a year ago and I think I still had problems with them
What's the longest log that your LT70 can accommodate?
I think the longest is about 19.5’ that it will take
What blades were breaking?
It was a brand called Kasco. Had good luck with them in the beginning but things went downhill really quick the past year or so
