    DIY hack – brush sweeps oil from sawmill blades

    June 10, 2022 /

    The Wood-mizer BMS250MU CBN sharpener has plastic cards that you re-position to scrape excess oil from the sawmill blade as the blade is passing through the sharpener. The oil is used to cool the CBN stone and to wash away the excess steel filings from the sharpening process. The cards do a fair job but for a couple reasons these brushes will improve the job.

    We had 2-3/4 cords of softwood logs that had been sitting for a couple years. Past due really. Nothing nice about them, from the age to the dirt and limbs hanging off of them from being harvested with a processor.

    Hey, Jim here. The fall season is a time of the year I look forward to. Cooler weather, and things slow down a little bit allowing us to get at a few other things that have been on the back burner all year long. This past week I have been trying to get into a pile of pine and hemlock.

    The amount of air borne oily mist that is created from the Wood-mizer BMS250S is significant. The design of the machine’s case does less than a desirable job of keeping the mist enclosed. The only way to truly tame it is to create some negative pressure within its environment.

    Milling Lumber

    Rough spruce lumber

    June 23, 2021 /

    The term rough lumber generally refers to fully dimension lumber. Let’s use 2×4’s as an example. While this size lumber at the big box stores are measured at 1.5×3.5 inches, it’s generally called a “2×4”. Why? Well, there are historical reasons, but for now the simple answer is because when the board comes off the mill, it is 2 x 4 inches in size, after which it is planed on 4 sides and dried, thus reducing its dimensions. The lumber produced from this log is double rough, and I’ll explain why.

    A bit cooler this January Tuesday. -11ÂșC with the wind chill. Just warm enough at the start of the afternoon to get out and spend the day sawmilling. With sharp blades, big logs and two people, the work seems to cruise right along.
