Im trying to figure out how to be more efficient when running the LT40 remote by myself and minimize my trips to the log deck.

When I watch the videos that folks post of milling with remote operator consoles, when squaring a log into a cant or trimming edges of boards, there isn't much walking down to the far end to measure the height of the log and calculate the depth of cut or toe-board height. Somehow they know the proper height to cut at without measuring or so it appears. Read More
