Initial test cut of a D&L Timber Tech 180º Swing Blade Saw Mill
Our D&L Timber Tech 180º swing blade saw mill arrived in late March. I think it was March. Anyway, its been a while. Just finding some time to get it set up and now at the stage of fine tuning the kerf cut in vertical and horizontal planes.
I’ve got several big old pine logs to practise on that have been in the yard for a couple years now. After removing the top slag from the log, its time to make some horizontal cuts to see if the blade needs some tweaking.
No surprise, most saws need to be adjusted upon setup.
Next up, cut a 1×4 board and see what comes off the log.
Here’s a 5 minute video while doing the test cuts.

Our company purchased a D & L Sawmill in April 21. Its now October and we are still awaiting backordered parts. Customer service has not responded to emails and the owner was defensive to the point of calling me a jerk. This has been the worst business decision I have made in a long industrial career. If I could do it over, I would opt to work with any number of reputable and service focussed companies. Based on my experience, D & L has been a horrible decision.

Hi Mark,
Sorry to hear about that. I found Lindsay Flett to be a nice fellow. I wouldn’t rely totally on email when dealing with anything important. It’s not the most reliable means of communications. As for backordered parts, it’s an ongoing thing in many industries. Patience goes along way at this time. I no longer have the D&L, I sold it after 6 months. Nice machine, just never had time to use it.
