What? No bandsaw milling threads?

Looks the same basically as a woodland mills hm 130 with slightly different specs on cut width. I have an hm-126 and if you look how these are built they look exactly the same frame and rail set up just red vs green

Thanks!

How thick was the paneling? Considering a sawmill. We’ve been cleaning up after Helene. Easily have a 100+ tons of logs on the ground. Hate to see them rot or burn. My son is going to add on to his house and thinking about wood floors and paneling in a room or two.

I sawed it on 1" increments. So just between 7/8, and 15/16.

I think salvaging what you can is a great idea. Keep in mind that there will be challenges: all those logs will most likely have sand and mud embedded in the bark, after being subjected to the flooding. You’ll probably want to strip the bark first, or at the very least pressure wash them before cutting. Blades won’t last long otherwise.

This.

A chainsaw mounted debarker is something I'd be acquiring.

I wonder if the logs are twisted at all. They can do that in tornadoes, which is what I'm more familiar with.

The silver tip hardened blades from woodmizer handle moderately dirty wood fairly well. I cut 435 boards from some fairly dirty wood and was averaging 2-3 boards per log used 3 blades. They weren’t my logs it was for someone I know and they wanted it cut. Lots of rolls and cuts to make the boards
