Sawing first red oak log on our Woodland Mills HM130MAX

- This my first time cutting a hardwood log on our HM130MAX sawmill. This is my attempt to end up with 5x5 posts to be used for a gate. I'm also starting to figure out one of the scales that can be used on the sawmill.
By day I am a woodturner/woodworker . Check out my work here. daileywoodwork...
Some of the things that we use to make our videos.
TYM T25 tractor
Woodland Mills HM130MAX Woodlander bandsaw mill
Titan Implements 5 foot double edge grader number 3605
CountyLine 25 ton wood splitter from Tractor Supply

Nice machine by the way😊
Thank you.
Your channel just popped into my feed, I’ve had my WM 126 for eight years now, and learned a ton of things, some good and some bad, if you’ve done you research on them you likely know lots of things you should be doing to saw the logs, it’s the things that break down is when the frustrations set in. Over the years I’ve relied on many RUclipsrs that have been through the hoops, main thing is to love what you’re doing and have fun, good luck!
Thanks, as always I’m sure mistakes will be made and will be great lessons learned. I do watch a ton of sawmill videos, just got to put it all action now. Thanks for watching.
Practice makes perfect. I am still learning on my mill after 5 years.
I find it fun and fascinating. I’m sure it will be the same for me. Thanks for watching.
I bought a max130 it's assembled and waiting for me to retire 😮
Congratulations on the mill and hopefully the retirement comes soon.
When trying for 2 post; After cutting your third side drop down (5” in your case) and make your fourth cut. Now roll that top off 90* roll bottom 90* and set for fifth cut 5” off the deck. Roll bottom 90* (after bringing saw head back to start position) make final pass and you’ll have your two 5x5. Better economy of movement. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks I’ll have to try that.
As quite have suggested level the pith also try start sawing from the small end easier to determine what can be sawn from a log oh yeah I subscribed
Great tips, thanks for watching and subscribing.
hi there well done john
Thank you, I'm glad that you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Thx for sharing
My pleasure, thanks for watching.
make two planks of the same thickness that fit between the saw bed, measure from the plank the thickest side to the heart of the trunk, do the same on the thin side of the trunk and bring the thin side of the heart to the same height of the thickest side. In this way you saw with the fiber growth of the trunk and you have the least tension in the planks you saw.
Great tip. Thanks for watching.
Clean your bunks and spray them with none stick cooking spray, the log will move easy 😉
Good tip!
Your logdogs are in the Bracket’s backwards they should stand straight up. Nice looking posts I’ll be watching you 👀
Okay I'll check on the logdogs. Thanks for watching.
Use a laser level with magnet. Attach to the wheel door with beam at same level as blade. Then point it down the log and you can judge the height from end to end.
Great idea. A laser in on the list just want to run the mill more before putting money into a laser. Also not really sure how well the laser will show up in the sun because the mill isn’t covered yet. Thanks for watching and I like your videos. I’ve watched quite a few.
That's awesome! Good luck sir and I'm subscribing to you to see how much you learn!
I do have a lot to learn, for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
@@Daileywoodworking yep anything to help out others 😁
Good exercise, eh!😊
Yes it is very good exercise. I don’t mind that workout at all. Lol
Good video. Thanks.
Give us a water board look at end of video for the best boards please.
Honestly I didn’t even think of doing that. I will in future videos. Thanks for watching.
Reverse the log, small end towards saw head.
Great advice, I have since learned that that is the best way. Thanks for watching.
I like your mill! I think you did a very good job on those logs. I have seen other channels doing wood cutting and it seems all have their own style. I did see one that uses a metal detector to check for nails, staples for fences, and bullets that may have been in the tree when younger and not visible when milled. I wonder if you took a hose and hosed down the log prior to cutting to get any dirt off that might dull your saw. I have subscribed and I like what you are doing! What part of the country are you in there?
Thanks, I'm pretty happy with the mill. I do have a metal detector but haven't used it on the logs yet. I do use a leaf blower to somewhat clean the junk off the logs before sawing them. Hosing them down would also work. A high pressure washer might work even better and remove some of the bark too. We are in the western foothills of Maine. Thanks for watching.
your can hook can be stored from your trailer axle to first leveler, out of the way to needed next no bending over to pick it up ........ oh pvc. pipe works well going over log stops saves time in turning log........ great white north ...........S
Great idea on the cant hook and pvc. Thanks for watching.
You should level the pith, that will produce better boards and possibly yield more.
Great advice. Thanks for watching.
Level your log at the pith on your 1st and 3rd cut. Less waste on the log overall.
Okay I’ll try it.
but I watched it. Good job friend. God Bless ! KennyMan living in forested Mindanao Island Philippines
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Im no expert but most sawmills level the pith not the top edge. Normally the grain will be straighter. And it’s easier to keep pith to one or two center boards instead of multiple boards.
Good call I’ll try that on the next log.
sorry I can not hear you Kenneth Luckman MalayBalay city Phils.
Yes my talking into the microphone is definitely something I need to improve on.
Sounds to me like it is idling too fast, will shorten clutch life
Thanks I'll check it out. Thanks for watching.
All I have cut on my HM130 Max is White Oak and when doing a big cut it really oscillates a lot. New subscriber
By oscillating a lot, do you mean the head is moving side to side? If so, it could be the bushings on the uprights need adjustment. I haven’t had that problem but I did have to adjust them during setup. Thanks for watching & subscribing.
@@Daileywoodworking I have checked the bushings and they are snug...
Sorry I’m to new to sawing to offer more advice. Maybe someone else will see this and offer better advice. There is also a Facebook group for Woodland Mills and that would be a good place to ask. A lot more experienced people there.
Great video. You can store the log stops and tie board in the cross members, keeps you from bending over and possible losing them in the saw dust.
Toe Board handle.
Good ideas. Thanks for watching.
Go by the center of pith
Good advice. Thanks for watching.
you might want to get a strap to roll your logs with your equipment,it saves your back
Great idea and I do have some now and plan to use them on the larger logs in the future. Thanks for watching.
I like what you're doing, in life as well as your videos. I can relate. Like you I'm finding my way in the youtube world. You're now 1 subscriber closer to the 500 milestone. That's 200 plus closer than me. Keep at it.
Thanks. Love the name of your channel and I just subscribed. Thanks for watching.
Thanks and thanks.@@Daileywoodworking
