Off grid solar power generation COMPLETE! Saw mill running and making lumber!

EXCITING times at the tiny cabin with the completion of the OFF GRID solar power system and the first time running the Woodland Mills HM122 band saw mill, two big upgrades and milestones for the property! Add an adventure when the work is done at the end of the day and a pretty productive day was had!

    Maybe it’s just me but there is something really soothing about watching wood being milled on a saw mill. Good stuff! 👍 Take care

    Make sure your blade tensioner is right…you can use a torque wrench to make sure it’s to spec. Make sure the blade guides are gapped correctly. I think the RPMs are low too. I bought a cheap RPM meter and set mine to the proper RPM which was much higher than my ear thought was the correct RPM. That game me much better power and it set my mind at ease knowing that it is set correctly.

    One other thing came to mind after I had commented…there is a huge gap between the first blade guide and the log so that can be a big factor in wavy cutting because each time it hits a knot it’s going to want to wave. Mine is an adjustable guide on the right side so I’m assuming since yours is so far away that your model doesn’t have an adjustable guide? I would look into whether that’s an add-on possibility or I would try to get the log close to the first guide…the following guide is not as important as the lead guide. Maybe a wood spacer block between your log stops and the log? I’m just trying to help give you some reasons for the waviness. You’re going get addicted to milling! Have a great day sir.

    Thanks Cabinman! All good with the information you have given and it makes sense what you stated in both of you comments. I was thinking about a tachometer for the engine when I noticed the rpm's dropped when I was at full throttle and needed to adjust the cable. Low rpm's the cutting efficiency is not there for sure and even the wood looks like it is more torn than cut finely at the lower rpm's. I will be checking the guides next time I am out and try to rectify this problem, get cutting some lumber! Thanks for tuning in and commenting!
