I’ve been testing some new stuff for Wood-Mizer.

I can’t tell what it is just yet but it’s going to be neat and a lot of folks will be able to use it.

Will it work so well, you won't need logs in da yard?

I'm beginning to wornder how Mary gets any sawing done. It appears you're always tweaking the mill or testing something.

No problem today. I did all the sawing that got sawed. Mary's got more important things to do. She's been baking pies and breads for Thanksgiving.

I'm sure you can find a way to use it and probably will. Just won't be the same without a WM mill.

Here's a hint. I liked it so well, I placed the first order!

Bibby,

Does it bring logs into the yard when it is too dry, wet, the stars are not aligned etc?

This thread needs to be moved and merged with the "irritating things" thread.

Well, not so much "irritating" as "Frustrating"...

DanG, Bibby, that doesn't tell us nothing. If it is Orange you would order it!

Is it a better turner?
A more visable laser?
Self squaring dogs?
Foot massager mat for the remote?
Auto leveling toe boards?
Auto leveling supports?

So you don't hunt either huh?

farmerdoug · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2006, 01:39:12 pm »

Hey, Jeff hunts.

How do you think he gets all the neat pictures.

Now if he would just realize he should be looking for deer or bear he would probably get one.

Murf · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2006, 02:53:44 pm »

Ahhhhhh, PETA-approved hunting!!!

Furby · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2006, 09:16:35 pm »

He already told us elsewhere.
He's testing some new water bottles to hold water to keep your feet warm!

customsawyer · « **Reply #15 on:** November 24, 2006, 06:50:06 am »

I am thinking that bibbyman is testing the blood pressure of sawyer while teased with new product.

red · « **Reply #16 on:** November 25, 2006, 06:00:39 am »

I bet that some of the people at Woodmizer read the fourm here
and figured since bibby's log yard is almost empty he has the time
for some top secret Research and Developement

I also like how he says testing some stuff so it must be more then one item

keep up the good work bibby
but give us some more clues

Hey Bibby, the suspense is killing me! I have been to the w/m site, googled, yahooed, and asked Jeves but I aint seeing no hint of anything new. When we gonna hear about what you are checking out?

farmerdoug · « **Reply #18 on:** November 25, 2006, 07:28:32 am »

I guess someone is going to have to bite the bullet and go there an (snoop around) I mean visit.

It sure is a good thing they are short on logs so they will have plenty of time to chat.

BBTom · « **Reply #19 on:** November 25, 2006, 08:07:13 am »

I am guessing that Bibby already showed us a picture of it in another thread. If it is what I am thinking, I may need to stop sending all my sawdust to my sisters horse barn.

Bibbyman · « **Reply #20 on:** November 25, 2006, 01:09:39 pm »

Does this give you an hint?

I'm pretty sure it'll be a free upgrade for all WM owners.

Dan_Shade · « **Reply #21 on:** November 25, 2006, 04:38:21 pm »

hmmm

i think I may have saw a thread by a WM employee talking about what bibbyman is talking about!

NO !

And, if that picture (really low resolution) is from the WM web site. I've never even seen a page on their site that matches that layout. It almost looks like a "softcopy" service manual. If so, I didn't know WM had those either.

LOGDOG · « **Reply #23 on:** November 25, 2006, 07:10:35 pm »

Looks to me like it could maybe be an idler assembly. Perhaps it's an enhancement for the auto-clutch feature. I couldn't make out the print or schematics in the post very well. Time will tell.

gmmills · « **Reply #26 on:** November 25, 2006, 08:53:13 pm »

I have all the hints I need. I know what it is.

Can I be the second person to place an order?

pineywoods · « **Reply #27 on:** November 25, 2006, 09:17:39 pm »

If that's what I think it is, everybody get in line !!!!!!

LOGDOG · « **Reply #28 on:** November 25, 2006, 09:35:51 pm »

Wait a minute. If Bibby thinks it'll be a "free upgrade" for WoodMizer owners I'm thinking it's something you already have but has been re-engineered for safety reasons or maybe functional purposes. If it's safety I think WoodMizer would automatically send it out to those it applies to. That's how safety upgrades have been done in the past anyway. Free upgrade doesn't scream "new product" to me. When can we know Bibby?

Tom · « **Reply #29 on:** November 25, 2006, 09:37:41 pm »

They wouldn't charge you for a new way to take your money in return for a part without their having used an employee on the phone. ........maybe.

Bibbyman · « **Reply #30 on:** November 25, 2006, 10:19:17 pm »

You guys have pretty much got it. See if this screen shot clears it up.

Note the "Wood-Mizer Customer Gateway" at the top. They are still testing and adding to it so I can't give out the web address.

Here's how it works.. You get to the login page and create a login and password. You fill out some info including the serial number of your mill. Then when you need to get parts, any time day, night, weekend, holidays, you log in, go down some pull-down menu items and there you are. It was so simple even I couldn't screw it up. It's got the lastest parts for your specific mill.

The new system has many other features too. It list your latest orders. It allows you to pick the shipping courior and method. It's got a section of often used common parts like belts, guide rollers, etc.

Non-Wood-Mizer owners will be able to use it too - to buy blades, accessories, cant hooks, etc.

Bibbyman · « **Reply #31 on:** November 27, 2006, 07:35:02 pm »

Hey! I just went to the Wood-Mize web site and they've got the new Customer Gateway link posted right there on the main page so I guess the door is open.

If you're a Wood-Mizer owner you can get regestered and go on in and look around.

If you're not a Wood-Mizer owner you can still get to a lot of stuff like blades, cant hooks, jackets, etc.

They've got a special on a AM/FM radio headset that works as hearing protection. (Maybe Mary will get me some for Christmas.)

Warren · « **Reply #32 on:** November 27, 2006, 08:00:28 pm »

Hey Bibby,

Got it. Thanks ! Having the parts break downs and pix online is handy. Having spent two years of my life supporting a similar application, this required a significant amount of work. My hat is off to WM for offering this.

Bibbyman · « **Reply #33 on:** December 08, 2006, 09:55:09 pm »

I was exchanging some e-mail with Electric-Al and he said he'd set up his login and such for his WM Customer Gateway and thought it was real slick.

Anyone else been using it? Or hit the site and looked around?

DWM II · « **Reply #34 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:45:39 am »

Yeah I'm already using it. I was able to get exactaly what I needed to rebuild the power feed for my 91 lt 40. It was very conveinant to be able to look at the exploded views and pin-point my parts. I believe it will be a very sucessfull addition to W/M's already above board service to their mill owners. THANK YOU WOOD-MIZER.

BBTom · « **Reply #35 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:19:18 am »

I got signed up, and when I found out the brake shoes were shot, I figured I would just get online and order them. Unfortunately, Most people do not drag their mill down the road with the safety lanyard pulled, therefore there is not much need for brake shoes. They are not shown in any of the books, or online. Doug is supposed to have them coming to me. Guess they have to get them from Dexter. Just my luck!!

WeeksvilleWoodWorx · « **Reply #37 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:56:15 am »

I've already placed and received my first order, just routine maintenance stuff. Pleasant experience!

gmmills · « **Reply #38 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:34:46 pm »

Placed my first order last Mon night after 10pm. The box was on my front porch when I got home Wed evening. I can't be happier.

Bibbyman · « **Reply #39 on:** April 18, 2007, 07:52:11 am »

I go out to the Wood-Mizer Customer Gateway every now and then even when I don't need parts just to see what they've added. About every time I find they've added a new feature or item besides parts.

This morning I found they had added a whole new setup for displaying their used mills. They have also offering a service of brokering used mills for customers. Lots of mill for sale (at this time) and lots of pictures of each.

You don't have to be a Wood-Mizer owner to get to the Customer Gateway and also you can get to the Used mill ads from the regular Wood-Mizer web site.

Here is the link...
