Ya buddy. I really like the 14 - 18 inch logs But straight I can really pump it out then. This spruce is rough and knarly it takes a bit to get it started to get 2 flat sides Today I cut 218 logs for 13 600 bdft in logs. Plus the over run. It was a decent day for this little headsaw
The hydraulics were acting up if you notice after the cut the carriage goes back real slow. That’s as fast as it would move. Has since been rebuild the friction drive
If the saw doesn’t s not super sharp and guide pins in correct spot it’s difficult to saw the saw tries to bounce off the knots. It’s pretty much as bad as sawing hickory and hickory is really tough to saw
I was born at my grandfather's sawmill in Finland about 80 years ago. By the way, is this saw fairly recent model from Edmisdon powered be electricity?
The chipper was ok but there’s a conveyor that comes after the chipper that takes the chips to a screen. To separate for chip size The sprockets were completely wore off and we can’t get one of the sprockets until the morning. We band it with steel banding. Then a huge grinder grinds it all up banding and all. The banding sticks to a magnet 🧲. We just bundle it so the forklift can pick it up without making a mess. When the chipper is down we make 14 - 16 slab bundles a day. Too much downtime around 7 minutes avg. each slab bundles but stleast we can still run
@@TheWildWestMill Wow, didn't think I would get such a awesome reply. Thanks for the info, interesting to know how it operates as a whole, not just what we see.
I enjoy talking to everyone that makes a comment. Most don’t know anything about the inner workings of a sawmill Some like to buy slab wood for firewood. But we grind most of it and it goes to a Scott’s fertilizer plant for mulch s as bd other things
I’m trying to grow the channel it has been a little difficult I have many thousands that watch but don’t subscribe But that’s just part of it I think. Keep trying that’s all I can do
Love watchin a mill run
I have a few videos of our double cut band mill it’s a beast. Thanks for the comment Good.Feller appreciate it
Give me two cant logs all day. You can get into a nice rhythm and lay the material down.

It looks like to me that the spruce you saw does saw rough like the spruce species here in British Columbia.
The knots are just like sawing nails but hundreds of them every pass lol

The saw is actually not an Edminston it’s Helle by sawmill hydraulics. Yes everything runs off 600 Thanks for watching and commenting
What's going on with the slab wood, chipper out? Never seen it bundled before.

@@TheWildWestMill I thought maybe the chips go to a paper mill
