Sawmilling An Old Log Reveals A Hidden Surprise!
What happens here
The presenter prepares the Wood-Mizer LT40 sawmill for operation. This involves adjusting the blade tension using the tensioner, which features a pressure gauge for accurate settings. He then uncovers the debarker, an electric motor-driven carbide-tipped blade that removes bark ahead of the saw blade. Finally, he starts the sawmill engine using the key ignition.
Goal: Prepare the sawmill for lumber production.
