Professional Band Sawmill Secret to Increase Your Speed and Quality at Sawmill School

Published 2022-09-29
Proper band (blade) geometry and set are some secrets to increase your sawmill speed and quality.

Joe Maine (229) 563-1172 makes my bands for me, using WM Turbo Silvertip stock, 0.055" x 1.5". He is in Georgia but can ship anywhere.

Welcome to Hobby Hardwood Alabama - a real, professional sawmill lumber production business, ranked by a national website as producing the highest quality wood in Alabama, of about 45 different species. We are not a video company, but we are a real lumber company, and want to show others some of our money making and business sawmill techniques. This video is another example of sawmilling for our business, Hobby Hardwood, Alabama. We show how we mill logs, dry them and other things on our outdoor farm. We use our amazing fleet of hardware and tools, such as our custom New Holland Tractor, Wood-Mizer LT-70 sawmill, as well as our Cantek planers, Baker edgers, and SLR machines in action, operation, milling and while sawing logs to lumber. The Woodmizer LT Super 70 sawmill is the the biggest, fasted and most automatic bandsaw mill Woodmizer makes, with joystick control and Diesel engine. Very few sawmills are this fast, including Baker, Morgan, Harbor Freight, Cooks, Northern, Timber King, Norwood, Woodland, chainsaw mill, and Hudson. It’s not an Amish Sawmill, but the fastest and most modern band mill Wood-Mizer makes, and produces the best lumber wood for wood working projects and our lumber business. We also showcase our Nyle Kilns and air drying lumber techniques. Lots of tips and tricks to make sawing and drying easier for beginners and professional woodworkers to keep our sawmill turning trees and logs into gold instead of firewood. My buddy, Nathan Elliot, of Out of the Woods Sawmill, OTW, convinced me I needed to start filming our operation, so here goes. Someday I want to have as many followers as other sawmill videos on Youtube, like Nathan and Outdoors With the Morgans. We show how to make money with your sawmill, and pass on our how-to tips and tricks for better sawmilling. Watch us use our sawmill, chainsaw mill, band saw, and bandsaw.

  • Joe Maine (229) 563-1172 makes my bands for me, using WM Turbo Silvertip stock, 0.055" x 1.5". He is in Georgia but can ship anywhere. These bands are welded and ground correctly, and are actually better than "factory" WM bands.
  • I watch a lot of sawmill videos, but this is the first time I've seen this information. Thank you.
  • This particular video was incredibly helpful. I've never been taught how to read my Sawmill as good as this video does.
  • @JerryTip
    Love your knowledge Robert, thanks for sharing. True gentleman, you are.
  • @fastbrian33
    Best video on the tube for learning to cut quality lumber!!!Keep them coming!!
  • Love your videos can’t wait for more! Best sawmilling on YouTube thanks for sharing!
  • Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to the next one.
  • Your mill and your experience is an awesome combination so fast and perfect !
  • Robert, I have learned so much from watching you and your videos. Thanks so much for educating us all.
  • I greatly enjoy watching your new and previous videos. The smart sawyers are also watching and making grateful comments. The few random log sawing videos I do scan always wind up using a large brush to scrape off all of the sawdust between passes. Fools there be.
  • @kurt8386
    I enjoyed the whole video. I liked Robert's rant at the end. Thank you Mr. Milton!
  • Thanks for the straight forward lesson. Most people just babble and task to long to get to the point. Hobbyist, my mill will be here Friday. Thanks again
  • @bnagnew34
    You just reduced everyones learning curve by years. Great video.
  • @rf8driver
    Your site showed up in my feed a couple of days ago and I have been binge watching ever since. Bought my WoodMizer LT40 HD in 1991 and have been part time sawing for 30+ years but now feel like I was born yesterday. In my neck of the woods I am regarded as a sawmill expert but my face is red. You have raised the bar to the stratosphere. Thank you.
  • @KnotthomeR
    Wow very helpful video. I appreciate you sharing your expertise. I am a relatively new Sawyer and this will help me a lot. Thank you Sir!!😊 Great videos!!
  • @willcoe8419
    Very informative. Never looked at the rooster tail. Have had blades pop up on the end when dull. Have noticed little sawdust when cutting smaller logs fast. Diesel engines have enough torque to power through large logs. My 25 hp Kohler won't do that in large logs. This is now my favorite YouTube channel 👍
  • @jeffreyjones4226
    newbie with new MS really like the indepth of your videos. Most videos just show what they do, not how to troubleshoot-get better.
  • Thank you for the insights and an idea what i shall look at while playing around with my sawmill. Very much appreciated!
  • @Vanbulance89
