Hi Guys ,
Loaded a big pine on the mill today .
29 inch diameter 11 ft long not the longest log yet but largest diameter.
I load the big logs with nylon chokers i feel that its safer for me and my mill .
im also cutting up some kd stickers today.
Thanks Bruno of NH

Looks good. I put some inch marks on my log stops. I think I started at 4 inches and went to 8. I took off a half inch on each line. That way if I am sawing 6 inches and the log stop is at 6,it's really 5½ inches from the bunk. No guess if I am going to miss them that way. I see you use all three. I only use 2 at a time,one on each end.

I marked my stops every inch
1 to 12 it's of on the saw scale by 1 inch so I won't cut into the stops
Saw set at 12 inch cut stops are at 11 inch works good .

I know that my absolute minimum, with the log-stops up is 11¼", and not a shaver lower!

Each year I do a complete alignment on my mill through the Winter and I always check that clearance each time too.  ;)
