  • I've got hundreds of hours running three different Wood-Mizer mills, they will cut excellent lumber with an experienced operator. You had a bad experience with one sawyer and are bashing the Wood-Mizer company because of your one experience. That is foolish and uneducated. As far as quality goes, I'll put any of the Wood-Mizer mills I've run, the fancy one, or the older manual mills, up against any portable bandmill on the market.

  • @BIGART1950 Overated? maybe.... This particular mill is fully loaded and automated with accuset. It is capable of 550 board ft per hr. However, if you had a guy cut 4-1/4 for you and it was wavey it was most likely a dull blade. I think what you may be refering to here as the head bouncing around? This particular mill is equiped with a debarker, it clears a path for the leading edge to prevent debris from dulling the blade therefor prolonging the life of the blade. A great feature I must say!

  • how much are wood mizers like that? are there better ones? Faster?

  • wonder how long this thing would take to pay for it self?

  • Bandanna, check. 80's hair band music, check. Smoking in front of minors, check. It's Dog the Wood-Hunter.

  • this is rough cut lumber its alot different then the fancy stuff you buy at the store.

  • we've found old bullets and nails deep in big white pine.

  • something i forgot to add did you notice those nice little lines at 09:28 they are caused when the teeth get bent probaly in this case about 7 or 8 teeth.

    and wet wood is more flexable than wood that has been dried for 6 weeks in a kiln.

  • the debarker wont help if you hit a nail buried in the tree, but it would be a good thing to have for surface debree. My theory as to why the cuts could be off is the band could be a little loose

  • @BIGART1950 There are many reasons for the saw to be bouncing up and down. He prolly was using a dull band.
