It is a nice looking mill.  Cutting in the dark, huh  ::).  That was also a fine first log  ;D. 

For someone who never saw one run, you didn't do bad at all  :D.

I've been gone for a couple of weeks, but it looks like 1st: Welcome, and 2nd: Congratulations.  You came to the right place for answers and opinions, and looks like you did quite well with your mill purchase.

Debarker, Yes.  I bought my mill used and thankfully it had one.  Dirty or clean, I use it anytime I'm cutting through bark.  For resharpening blades, I use WM ReSharp.  Works for me...... :)

Thanks everyone.  Am really enjoying the mill.  Cut up a large Ash today.  Used the drip lube.  That sure helps keep the blade clean.  I have the standard sharpener and was wondering can I use one of the CBN preshaped grinding wheels on it?

Spoke to woodmizer and can not use the new CBN wheels.  Found my first metal today buried in the Ash log I started the other day.  :( Had to happen.  At least it was in the log and not orange outside the log.

hey vic,  welcome
   if you cut for yourself dark may work ok but most of my customers want me to cut when i can read the scale. :D :D :D my mill is all manual except for the motor turning the blade and my debarker looks like my 15 year old and a two bit axe!!! not very high speed but effective. new mill looks great and sounds like a good deal.   congrats!  blades i use timberwolf. cooks super sharp are cheaper but i have never thought that i didnt get my moneys worthwith either  try some and see what you like. be sure to talk to the blade maker about shipping costs. some wont charge shipping on ten or more  . something to think about   pc

If you cut in the dark, the shower of sparks when you hit the log clamp will wake you up......Don't ask how I know.... smiley_crying

Yup, just part of the learning curve.  Daytime is for sawing.....Nighttime is for sleeping...... :D
