when I use the rock salt I'm cleaning about 50 saws at a time and I mix just a handful with about 20 liters of water. Out of each batch of 50 at least 10 saws need nothing more then a good cleaning. If you're just cleaning one saw and you have time just the nail brush and water will work...

I service those round saws with a 5 tip repeated pattern of 5 degree alternate left right rake followed by a zero. The relief angle is also 5 degrees with zero top bevel. The 10" saws have 60T and the 12" have 72T tungsten carbite. You'd actually be surprised how much of a difference taking off...

Depending on what you're going to do with it and of course the soil, the best species for coppicing are hazel, ash, hornbeam, and beech I've tried willow too, works fine. They will be ready to harvest on an 8 - 10yr rotation and should be spaced about 2m apart when planting to allow a good...

they're using 17 gauge plate on the saws because they want to heat tension them and only 10 inch cos the heat tensioning machine wont take anything wider. The saws condition can be pretty bad after a days cutting. Ususlly it's a 16 gauge 12 inch roll tensioned saw thats used as this system can...

In this photo you can see the sharp chain clearly.. and the chipper heads too. Most systemes these days are single pass. The species is "Sugi" a Japanese ceder. band saws are only 10 inch 48mill pitch 10ism meter long.

This is a photo I took about 3yrs ago. I'm on top of the ELI looking down at the quad band. The photo was taken about 4mths into installation.

Sorry if my explanation wasn't good. I have worked in mills where they buck the stems in the logyard by hand with chainsaws. Most who do it this way are low productive or hardwood mills. I mainly work in the log eating 10,000 a day big mothers. If you like I could explain the Primary break down...

Well.I'll do the first one first. The "Bucking Line" is where the stems (usually about 13m long) get turned into logs. Starts off with step feeders or log loaders then debarkers followed by linier scanners. The scanners "optimize" the log according to the customers needs. then into the chopsaws...

I worked in the forest then studied woodland management at college then I did my trade as a saw filer in Japan for my father-in -law. industrial band , circular saws chipper and planer knives. These days I install some of the largest mills in the world with the largest sawmilling companies. I...

Hello Mike, Do you guys consider sawmilling part of woodworking?

I do bucking lines, primary and secondary break down cutting devices and sorters from installation to alignment and startup. I hope to meet some good people here to swap ideas with ... Quinness
