Woodmizer lt15 wide. The good, the bad, and the ugly
31" pine cutting 1x3's and 1×12's. Milling logs this big by yourself isnt easy at all and this one faught me. As you can I had to keep rotating after the first cut because the log stops are to short and didn't catch. Got some nice boards though so the fight was worth it. #woodmizerlt15

I like the video but where's the good, bad, and ugly. The Sawmill looks like it's functioning very well.
Best small mill operator I've ever seen . I have a business I would love to hire him in a heartbeat At the best possible rate I could pay him

I'm thinking a 2 ton winch on an overhead gantry with a choker strap could save a lot of potential back injuries over having to use a cant hook to flip a large log? Obviously you'd have to have an enclosure such as this one, but as long as you mount the ends of the gantry on the upright poles it should work great. It may take a little longer, but it would save some wear and tear on your back!

The mill is normally outside so when the logs get that big we use my tractor to flip them, plus I've just invested in logrites mega hook canthook. At 78in you get some serious leverage. Thanks for watching.
TL what a job U do on those big logs I am just getting my TK1220 set up to saw oak boards for my fence around 4 acres and repair barn. I see U handle like a gorilla I can se it gonna be tough on me at 80+ years but can’t wait to get into it.

My mill is no longer in my garage but if it ever ends up back in there ill be sure to try it, its a good idea. Thanks!
When you get a chance please watch Charlie and Sara. He puts out a video called dirty tricks when mailing pine. At the end of the video he explains about the spindle cleaner. It keeps the gum off your blade. Hope this helps God bless stay safe 🇨🇦
As usual your milling is very efficient. I noticed that some of your 1X3s were knocked off by the saw blade at the end. A simple fix.... drive a nail into the cant... problem solved. Seriously, I do not think that a nail is a good idea; a 1/2" lag bolt would be better. Keep up the good work.

How deep of a beam can you cut? i.e. blade to head. I would like to cut 6x6 beams.
@tlroughsawn2184

You can cut a 10" beam but you have to put a spacer between the cant and the stops on the bed because of the angled head design.

WM makes a good mill for sure...but ur gonna need a lot of board ft to pay it off. Ive got a 30 yr old linn mill, cost me next to nothing and puts out smoother cuts than my buddy's lt15 wide. Not to mention in under a year he had to warranty the lift struts.
