how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

I just got more blades. Cooks had 15% off. Cheaper than I paid 3 years ago.

I probably got around 100 blades with my sawmill, probably 80 of them used and in need of sharpening. The trash can they are stored in is getting full!

What is cost of sharpening? $11 each?

Just finishing my first box of 10 blades. I now have 40 new blades on the shelf. Converting the mill to hydraulic drive and head lift now. Got the drive motor installed and now to install the lift motor. Need a better log turner than me. The poles did turn easy (round). Mini excavator did to much damage to the wood. I should have tried the skid steer via remote.

Max length of cut is 20ft 9 inches( three sections of track). The biggest pole was 20ft.

Morning everybody.

Ordered some new bands last week..

Those bastards have gone up in price..

I have an angle grinder if you want me to touch up your used bands for you. I can touch up the new ones too if you like.

Sounds like it's $7 a blade.

Wood mizer wants to sell me an auto sharpener. I'm sure they want a small fortune for it, and I don't think it sets the teeth, just grinds a new surface.

 

[Hedgerow]

Usually, by the time I replace a band, it's been damaged so bad, it won't even cut straight.
Probably not even worth grinding on.

Is your rehab still going well ?

Yes, back in Oregon we ran a woodmizer two blade edger....(the 25hp trailer version).
Huge time saver, and can double your output in the right conditions.
I'm buying one as soon as I get the chance..... I hate edging on the mill.

Hosky & Tony: You fellers mend up complete.
That’s an order!
