Am I the only one who still gets nervous when cutting that last 1" thick board? My band is probably about 1/4" or less from the back stops. I never have hit them cutting the last board, but Dang!

It will happen! When Timberking brought me my first mill the guy showing me how it works hit one of the dogs. I looked at him and said! is that suppose to happen? He said no but if you haven't done it you haven't been sawing long enough. If you get a little wave in that last cut BAM! Your a member of the not so lucky dog club. >:(

A guy once told me "show me a guy that hasn't rolled a tractor over and I'll show you a guy that hasn't ran many tractors". Some people scare me

Jake there are two types of sawyers those that get nervous cutting the last/dog board and those that lie about it.We all double check.Frank C.

1 inch should not bother you after a few runs.  Get the back stops at the bottom,and bring the clamp down to half or less on the board,  just make sure the blade guide clears at that point when you get there. no worries.  go for it, the 2x4 settings will get you before the one inch will.
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

When I built my bandmill the head will come no closer than 1" to the bed but then theirs that DanG two plain clamp,I always double check,especially with the circular saw. Frank C.

For the longest time I made my last board 2" thick.

Mine mill will not lower more than one inch on the last cut. There is no way I can hit anything.
Unless I forget to lower the log stop.  ::) I can check that thing 100 times. But the one time I don't check..... you know the rest of the story. I get the same feeling on the last cut too,jake.

Can handle the 1" cuts, its the 3/4" cuts that get me dependant on the set of my bands. Had been cutting alot of cedar so had alot of bands set to .026-.029, they hit every time, my normal 0.23 set just clears em, but I dang near bite my tongue every time it passes by.

Poston,you know,I really don't like g...s. But have kinda thought about trying them again just to be sure. It's been many years since those things have touched this Yankee's lips. But I saw what g...s can do for a man's legs and thier looks after seeing your golf picture and that picture that replaced the Panthers.No way am I ever going to ever be in the same place those nasty things are being cooked or being eaten. I'm not taking any chances.  :D

My Timberking 2000 has 1/2" corner blocks that hold the boards in place when the dogs are no longer needed. The mill is set too clear them by a 1/2". If you put 1/4" down pressure with the guide rollers you are only clearing them by a 1/4". I set the setworks at 1" everytime above the rail but if I forget to do this I'm cutting steel.

It's never to late.   ;D

How Grits are Formed

Grits are formed deep underground under intense heat and pressure.  It takes over 1,000 years to form a single Grit.  Most of the world's grit mines are in South Carolina , and are guarded day and night by armed guards and pit bull dogs.  Harvesting the Grit is a dangerous occupation, and many Grit miners lose their lives each year so that Grits can continue to be served morning after morning for breakfast (not that having Grits for lunch and dinner is out of the question).

Yankees have attempted to create synthetic Grits.  They call it Cream of Wheat.  As far as we can tell, the key ingredients of Cream of Wheat are Elmer's Glue and shredded styrofoam.  These synthetic grits have also been shown to cause nausea.

Cream of what???? Looks like something that flat landers would eat. I'm not touching that.I'm real fussy about things that I eat. It has to at least walk and well, go to the bathroom, for me to even thing about eating it. My diet consist of bread,meat,mostly red, and I mean red meat and cheese.
Now we return you to the regular program all ready in process.  :D

If you're eating that much RED MEAT, then you've got to have "Powder Post Worms".  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Can't be true, as Cream o Wheats was eaten looong before styrofoam was invented.  ;D

But then, baby pablum was close to Cream o Wheats, and if I recall both were a step up from the grits. None were good just plain straight away. Sugar, butter, syrup, etc. made 'em palatable to an extent.
Grits with a cooked egg dropped in the middle are good eatin. IMO

I got to get to bed here sometime.  ;D  I use to bring a steak to work and warm it up in the microwave. I use to sit beside a guy that would say every time,You're going to get sick eating it that way. I would say every time,Can you imagine how red it was last night  before I warmed it up in the microwave? Than I would take a piece of bread and slop up all that good red stuff that came out of the steak. Than I would say ever noticed in a magazine the inside of a steak is always nice and pink,just about red? Never seen a steak well done have you?
