If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Thanks all.  I'm very pleased (and somewhat surprised) with how well this thing works, but if I had known when I started just how many hours it was going to take me to finish this project, I'm not sure I would have done it.  smiley_dizzy whiteflag_smiley

Bandmill Bandit- I plan to have a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) prototype run of the circuit board made once I'm satisfied with the design.  That might make it possible for it to be a marketable product.  I know you could do it but I'm not sure it would ever be something that the "average" mill owner would be able to tackle.  I think some amount of technical ability would be required to install something like this.

I'm laughing my tail off Paul.  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I can't wait to show this to a few people and tell them, "Yep, me and Paul are friends."

Me telling them we are close friends will make me look smart.  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

One question, do you always run your blade tension at 300,000,000 PSI?  :D :D :D :D :D :D

I know I do goat man, I run it just shy of what I call Peter-Pressure (Peter the Pine Man), which is when you bottom out the gauge and then take out an old pipe and crank on her some more

It would not take much more to interface up with a laptop running Denkovi Relay Manager Software.
You could have your mill running automatically. look into ethernet IP controller (DAEnetIP2)

Thanks for the response Ga mountain man.

I'd have that computer/electronic engineer son that I am sure would not have any issues installing it for me. I can probably do it too but he'd be a lot faster at it.

I'm seeing you sawing from your recliner up at the house, in the air conditioning, watching a video monitor of the milling, and through an intercom, telling your help to hurry up and load the next log.  Oh yeah, all the while eating chips and salsa.

Yep, I want one.....

Yes, you absolutely must have one.  I'm willing to do an even swap, mill for mill.  You busy tomorrow?  :laugh:

Ga Mnt Man YOU have a marketable after market system there. I am pretty sure there are more than a few that will want one and now that it been done dont think for a second that woodmizer wont put some serious effort into the discussions of ana after market system.
