Unbelievable Sawmill Failure During Father-Son Project...Why did this happen?
What happens here
The presenter prepares the Wood-Mizer sawmill for operation by removing its protective cover and adding lubricating fluid to the water tank for the blade. He expresses concern about recurring issues, mentioning a previous fuel pump replacement and checking the engine oil level. The oil is checked to ensure it's not contaminated with gasoline, a problem previously encountered. He also lubricates the rails of the sawmill using automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and a sanding sponge to ensure smooth operation.
Goal: Set up the sawmill for milling logs
