I will see if I can but its not my computor.Anything you can imagine that will save you time ,make accurate cuts ,minimize slab desposal ,resaw ,is worth doing,these mills are an inventors dream ,limits are endless as to making them perform the way you want,dont oversize the blade,48" is a good size,I do my fair share of blind sawing,so a stong chainsaw is a nessesity.The less fatiged you are the safer you are. an ideal sawlog is 16" to 18" small end dia x 16'.With a load of those your not wasting time and very few scab boards.I saw mostly eastern white pine,its a dream to run off and easy to market.The log turner and board conveyors increase productivity 10 fold,I wouldnt run it any other way as my back was broke and 4 levels were fused.If I can run off 5000 bf alone imagine what a healthy man can do.Enjoy it ,its a great industry.
