That credit has an expiry date (1 year) so don't forget to spend the rest of it :D.

It was hard not to pick up the phone and just tell you about it when the judging results came in a couple weeks ago  :-X

Your story was very inspirational, and we are proud to have you as one of our winners, MM  ;D You reminded us a little of Moses  ;)

Thank you Jake and Wood-Mizer.

Here is a picture of the building project that won for me.  Actually I wasn't the real winner, our church's Music Minister was with this storage building/carport built with 100% Wood-Mizer lumber.

I don't know if there is a category I would rather win than "for the good of others"

While this "Wood-Mizer Customer Appreciation Month" with a 10% sale was still available, I just ordered another Fine-Adjustment Outrigger.  My prize money is now spent.   ;D

Thanks again Wood-Mizer !!!

The first two Fine-Adjustment Outriggers came in and are installed.  I am looking forward to using them on the Sinker Cypress job starting Friday.






I replaced the Outriggers in front of and behind the axle on the operator's side.  These always seem to be the ones that sink in while I am sawing.  They are also the hardest to reach.  Today I ordered the one just behind the hitch.

Almost looks like you need a new mill to match the nice new outriggers :)

The outriggers do work well, don;t forget the locking caps that go on top , they will unscrew and loosen from vibration,  :) :)

My 'demo' mill came with 4 FAO's on the rail, and the standard outriggers (SO's) on the loading arm side.  I initially thought that I might spring for two more FAO's, but with some experience I found that there's really no need.  I hardly ever have to use the silver adjustment rod on the SO's.

Generally, I'll release the SO on an end, and then use the near rail end FAO to lift the end enough to get the SO to click into the next hole.  Then I'll put the closer mid-rail FAO down and get it to take its share of the weight. 

To put this another way, I adjust the FAO's to the position of the SO's, and never really adjust the SO's at all.

I'm sure you'll work out your own system shortly.

One other thing I did was to put a 1 1/4" socket in my tool box so I wouldn't be in a pickle if that nice crank handle ever went missing.  That crank handle has taken a couple of long trips sitting on top of my hitch-end FAO  :)

I saw right quickly that I needed a socket or ratchet end wrench.  I went by Sears today and they didn't have a 1¼" socket.  I'm going to the parts house tomorrow.

I'll get the instructions out again.  I missed that part about a locking cap.   :-\
