Woodland Mills HM122 Sawmill - One Year Followup Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 гру 2021
- Here's a followup review of my Woodland Mills HM122 sawmill after a year of ownership and about 80 hours of use. I'll make some observations about the mill then we'll saw up some boards for flooring.
You can see my original review here: • Woodland Mills HM122 S...
And here's a playlist of all my sawmill videos: • Sawmill
You demonstrate admirably the necessity of not being a yahoo while running what is and should be a precise instrument. Having care and a thoughtful approach is the reason this mill will last you for years. I have a 126 coming this week. I’m very excited. Thanks for the excellent review. Cheers brother.
I purchased the HN122 mill earlier this year largely based on your excellent videos. I could not be happier with the mill. I have seen in other videos where people have commented on the screw log holder and how it goes to deep into the wood. I added a self locking nut onto the threaded shaft that allows me to adjust how deep the point goes in.
Thanks for the followup. Too rarely do you get to see the "lessons learned." Three things, 1 - your videos are great and very informative, 2 - your sawmill shed is beautiful, and 3 - I'm jealous that you can mill in a t-shirt right now.
Thanks for yet another great video. I have a lot of appreciation for seeing the details that you have added to your process to smooth out the work flow and I have adopted many of them. Maintenance checks, pre-flights, custom measuring tapes, log handling, log positioning, cleaning & use of the toe-board. Keep up the good work, it's appreciated.
I have a HM 122 coming soon, can wait. Thanks for your video. One thing I have seen in my search for a mill is how to properly cut logs. Ninety percent of the folks online do this wrong. I did see the video here on youtube the guy owns or runs the best rated lumber I believe in Alabama but he goes into detail I recommend you all look for it. Anyone can cut boards but if there not cut properly according to the ring pattern the lumber will be inferior.. Good Luck milling folk.
Howdy Sir- I have watched several of your other videos and I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts on the mill. I just got the HM126 and have it assembled with an extension that I built. Your videos are very comprehensive and well done. Thank you for the time you have spent helping others. Hope the New Year brings you blessings and happiness. God bless
Very nice review. My 122 is sitting in the shed, unused since getting it and assembling late in the fall of last year just before the snow came. This mill, and other Woodland Mills products, are a good example of quality products being produced in China where the design, engineering and quality control are being controlled by a domestic company based in North America, in this case, Canada. Added to that, the fact that customer and technical support are here is a tremendous advantage. I know I can rely on the people at Woodland Mills to provide the support we need without the hassles of dealing with a foreign company.
Watched both your woodland mill reviews. Thanks, great information.
Just bought the same mill. Cant wait for it to get here!
I’ve watched lots of videos on this mill and have to say this is one of the very best ones. Thanks for all the info. After researching all winter, we will be ordering an hm122 bushlander XL next week. Just got there bushlander trailer in last week and we’re super happy with it!
Always enjoy your videos. You often have methods or "tricks" that I had not thought of. I have learned a lot.
I have a quote from Woodland in my inbox right now and been watching a lot of videos getting closer to pulling the trigger. I really appreciate you posting this. Thanks for talking about the power too as that's my biggest concern, but nothing here except red fir and pine. Jeez, I guess I need to budget for a leaf blower too.
I like the measuring setup you did ive been thinking about something like that to simplify it for myself and my kids. I have the Lucas swing Blade sawmill but just recently ordered the new Woodland 130 max because of how very safe the band saws are compared to the circular saws. I know there is no way the band saw will compare to my other mill for bf per hr but its mostly just for the kids to learn and they are excited
Thank you for your videos the two reviews you did I have made up my mind what brand I am going to buy thank you
Great tip about the magnetic rulers!
Thanks for this video i am buying a mill soon. i have been watching video's on the woodland mills thanks again have a great week
dude, you are so so safety minded!! great video
I had the same problem with my cable lost rpm like you did have to keep an eye that. Thanks for the video
Thats for your input and a very good review
Every video of yours makes me feel a lot better about purchasing this mill as opposed to a mizer $$$. I look forward to purchasing this mill for our Vermont land.
