- #38 Sawmill Scales/Ruler For Beginners | Woodland Mills Sawmill
In this video I take you through my knowledge of the four rulers that come with the woodland mills portable sawmill. They include a standard imperial tape measure, a 4/4 scale, and 1inch scale, and a two inch scale.
I try to talk about how you can use each scale/ruler depending on the type or thickness of lumber you are looking to cut and what the benefits and drawbacks of some of the rulers are.
I also have noticed in other videos I have watched that there seems to be a lot of questions on how exactly to use a scale to cut a 1 inch board so I do my best to demonstrate how that is accomplished.
If you have any questions that I did not answer in this video or If I did not do a good job explaining please feel free to ask in the comments and I will do my best to answer if possible.
As Always
Thanks For Watching
Chris
That was helpful!!
Thanks for explaining slowly and patiently, for an old slow poke like me:)
Great video ! I have worked a bit with my brothers mill but I was having trouble figuring out the scale so I was laying a small piece of 1-1/2 angle iron on my cant and pencil marking, then cutting on my line & done the same for 2" it worked :) hoping to get my own set up and this info is all very helpful,
HM122 here as well. If I’m not concerned with being dead on I’ll use the scale. I actually think it’s less problematic to simply mark the board I’m cutting and drop the blade to the mark.
Very informative, Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks you Chris good good information Gracias Amigo
Glad you enjoyed it
Good info! Thanks!
You bet!
I think a bunch of the "extra" in our cuts is to allow for drying shrinking.
Good Point. Ugh now I wish I had of mentioned that definitely a big factor to consider.
Nice video. Ten ways to sunday to cut on a bandmill.
Thanks, it sure seems like it I'm learning new stuff all the time lol.
Great job buddy
Thanks!
So you're cutting from the bottom up? Everyone I see cuts from the top down...what if its a big cant and you don't have enough clearance between your blade and throat?
good job chris ..i have a question for you it's about the idler or following wheel on the mill does it have to be that loose or slack ? i'amtalking about the belt of course what if a tight one isplace on that wheel?
If I was to cut a 1 1/2 inch board using the 1 inch white scale would that give me a bigger cut? Like 1 1/2 inch + 1/16 I see the 1 inch increments are taking into account the blade thickness so if you go bigger just wondering if it throws the thickness off.
Good video. What is the log hauler in the background? Thanks
It is a homemade log arch that I built and used in some of my earlier videos, it still has a couple kinks to work out but seems to work pretty good.
I have noticed not all woodland mills have the stainless bunk covers seems to encourage rust would pinning 1/8” aluminum angle through side be a possible cure to protect tops of log supports?
Honestly I'm not sure, but it sounds like a good idea... you are right about the rust i have a couple bunks that are already showing some on the top. I was thinking about re-painting it myself, but maybe something like what you are talking about would be a better option.
I’m confused. In the first scale you explain, when you hold the tape measure up against it, they are not exactly 1” apart. The first mark is at ⅞ “, the 2” marks line up exactly, and by the 4” mark, they are way out. I suspect that that measurement does in fact take into account the kerf of the blade, contrary to what you claim. Go back and look at the video. Either that, or your tape measure is out?
Something I have noticed on my 130max is the magnetic scales shift or move with vibration.
And just being brutally honest here,. you hinted around to it .
Again, this is Rough cut lumber and probably 80% of the mill tracks are out more than 1/2" in 10 feet area.
so you have a track that is out and people that can't read a tape measure and do simple math.
Looking to make lumber more precise than box store lumber. (not likely to happen)
Now there is a learning curve to everything and you have to apply and progress with time and errors learned .
This is a tool very capable of producing better lumber than most can read a tape measure. but giving the mill time to cut and not crowding or pushing it and having good sharp blades that will cut true. there are a lot of things to align and combine to achieve this.
Kind of like nascar, if you can't drive a stick you won't win,. if you cant read a temperature gauge you don't even need to be in the seat.
Cover the Basics first and the rest will come with effort applied is good closing statement.
