Was curious to ask for some insight on how or what people may do for portable jobs that are outside of your normal job timewise. I haven't taken sawmill off property for a portable job in probably 2 years but had someone contact me who was 3ish hours away who has a longer term logging job that they were thinking about having a sawmill come out for a 1-2 month job sawing in combo with their logging.

I am curious as to what some of you are using for chip screens between the operator and the blade? I am thinking of using 3/4" welded screen with 1/4" hardware screen over that. I plan on hanging the "guard" allowing it to swing. Thank you.

I'm thinking about selling my lt28 band mill is there a place to get a reasonable value from? I called Woodmizer and I'm not real confident the gentleman knew what he was talking about.

when i bought my saw it came with a box of 15 blades packed in a cardboard box. i store them inside so the blades won't get wet/rusty. i noticed when putting on a new blade today that out of the box the new blade has a rather pronounced bend in it from the packaging method used by the blade maker....

Hi all, on a periodic service last week my drive belt tension was a little under spec...12lbs approximately at 3/8" deflection. I began adjusting the treaded rod linkage to increase tension. I feel like I unthreaded (lengthened) the rod a long way to reach the 14lb spec. I was hoping to increase tension by a couple pounds to compensate for warmer belt temperatures/expansion but could not seem to get beyond 14lbs at 3/8". With this mechanical system I expected to be able to increase far above spec if ever needed. I'm only at 150hours total time on the mill. Anyone else experience something similar? I was reluctant to unthread the rod much more. Read More
