Biggest Log Possible - WoodMizer LX25 - 26" White Pine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Finally found the perfect log to max out the LX25. Nice 10' white pine log was 25.5"x25" at the big end and 25"x23" on the other. Honestly the saw handled it well and no major issues. Fairly straight grain with few knots. Couple things that are certainly at the limit are the log holds in the back which only make it about 1/3 of the way up the log and the log clamp in the front barely makes it and is only about 1/3 up the log as well. On the second cut I removed the cone on the log clamp and got about an extra inch of space. Might be able to sneak in a 27" log if it was perfectly straight.
One log produced -
13 - 3/4" x 8"
13- 3/4" x 6"
4 - 2" x 3"
1 - 2" x 6"
1 - 2" x 8"
2 - 3" x 5"
Beautiful!
My LX25 is scheduled to arive in 2 months. All my trees are this size. Its good to see this.
Make sure the mill is braced well, over the tighten the blade and make sure it’s sharp. Also if you can debark (I didn’t on this one) but seems to help with the bigger logs.
Can I got it and delivered to Delhi in 1 month
I am thinking of ordering this mill,this size mill is all my pocketbook can afford, I got some poplar that's 40inches at the big end, 36 at the small end, 25 foot long, I guess I will have to whittle that thing down some to get it on there, that Kohler engine has plenty of power it seems like, enjoyed the video!
Engine has plenty of power and poplar is super smooth to cut. More like cutting pine than oak. Something that big I would try quarter sawing. Split it 4 ways with a chainsaw and wedges.
Wish I had some big logs to test out!
@@treemaineiac8766 I think that's what I am going to have to do
This video inspired me to try a large Sitka Spruce on my LX25.
It was 31" at largest end and 14' long. Whew! Lots of chainsaw work to make it fit.
I ended up with an 18"X 18" cant and a lot of lumber
That’s awesome. I have been on the lookout for something a little bigger bust must be perfectly straight and yes a chainsaw on the ready. Also pretty much limited to white pine so I can move it by hand.

Hey buddy love the video, can I make a suggestion that would help you so much , when your flipping those huge logs your can’t is scotching on your log stops and wedging making you strain to turn it if you use your can’t hook on the other side of the can’t sliding it away from your stops it will clear and turn easier
I've been doing that for a couple of years your so right
Smart to check it with a level from time to time. Just noticed I wasn’t subscribed. Hope it helps. I’ll share it.
Thanks much appreciated. Just checked level and first two sections were perfect but the third sections had dropped just slightly
Question Why not put a bad over the whole where the saw dust comes out. treat me as a noob i dont own one yet
Just easier to shovel it up after for me. I have seen some people hang a 5 gallon bucket as well.
Am looking for that machine. Where can I find it and at how much?
Order right from the couch and will show up a little after your Amazon order (about 12-18 months after)……
What is the price of this saw mill and can it deliver to India Delhi
About 4K now. Was 3k a year ago!
I been using my lx 25 for about 2 weeks cutting white pine how long on average do your blades last?
Nice. Most of my logs are about 12-16” and 8-10’ long. I get about 10logs from a blade. I have been leaving bark on which kills blade a little quicker.
@@treemaineiac8766 thanks. I got 3-12ft pines with bark on it out of one blade before it started making waves on the log. Just getting started in this only my second blade i put on but definitely thinking about getting the sharpener from woodmizer heck of alot of money but think well pay for it self no one around me sharpens them and dont wanna drive 3 hours to get them shapened. How do you sharpen yours?
@@hunter62012 I got 15 soft and 5 hard blades when I got the mill so getting really close to having to figure that out. I have been watching some videos and may try to see if its possible with a dremel..... if I can't do it a cheap way then I have seen a few of the bench grinders that seem to work well and are pretty cheap.
@@treemaineiac8766 You're way better off having somebody sharpen the blades for you. Somebody who knows how to sharpen a large bandsaw blade. And yes debarking would make a tremendous difference.
@@treemaineiac8766 Maybe you could see if a pressure washer is strong enough to debark a tree. Or a blowtorch may cause it to release easily? It might be worth looking into.
What is the background music?
Whatever was free on the iMovie app
LX25 is no longer available. Replaced with the LX50 Start.
Can make your life easier if you get some 2' lengths of PVC pipe and put the on the log stops when you roll large logs. It stop them from getting caught up on them. Just don't forget to remove them.
Good call. Might be better to hit the pvc that the uprights that I have hit twice….
VERY COOL..
Need white pine to pakistan your contract please
hou much bos, I from indonesia
Machine was about $3k
Beautiful log. I was VERY impressed with you loading it on that small trailer.
Good video.
Dave
Thanks appreciate it!
It may help you square up the log, if you used a "square" before your second cut, and drew a line across the end, then lined up the blade with that. I am just thinking it might make it easier than using that framers level.
I'm calling tomorrow, see if any updates on my delivery! Ordered March 12th.
Good luck. It’s worth the wait. I should have spent my wait time planning better. Where to stack cut boards, all the waste wood, where to pile logs to keep different species separate, etc. What State?
You are a master
What do you typically do with your white pine lumber? Mainly siding?
That’s the plan. My first cuts are from March so will start using some of the milled lumber next spring.
Boy you work fast!!
3 kids and full time job makes you work a little faster....
@@treemaineiac8766 ..good man ..keep it up 🤗
You should consider a track extension, it would come in extremely handy.
Struggling to move 12’ logs as it is. If I get a tractor I will get an extension.
@@treemaineiac8766 I agree with the struggle. The extension will prevent you from having to Jockey your log around to keep it within the cut range. My back was hurting just watching you struggle.
He play to much get the job done
It’s only a hobby so gotta have fun
haha. the Transport is a joke.
Affordable it is and I don’t have much space to load logs onto the mill. Works great for me and very cost effective. Trailer is a cabellas trailer rated for 1500lbs. Big enough for all the logs I do.
Great video. Have you ever used a green line laser module as an alignment tool ?
how much HP motor do you have on that mill?
9.5hp and so far seems to be plenty
@@treemaineiac8766 Thanks ! that was the engine option I thought I would prefer if I was going to get one. in the videos your cut speed seems reasonable fast all things considered.
Yes pine cuts pretty quick. The hard stuff a bit slower. A couple of the videos the cutting is sped up at two times speed. Some are regular speed but you should be able to tell.
@@treemaineiac8766 i saw that. I watched 3 or 4 of your videos and i edit my welding videos myself so most of the time i like to think that i recognize sped up footage.
The thing i noticed was at the end of some harder stuff when the weight comes down on the blade the gantry flexes a fair amount and temporarily comes out of square you pushing on one side only…. But other than that looks like a pretty solid entry level mill!
@@ZILAwelds Only time you'd need a bigger motor on a sawmill like this is if you bought one of the woodmizers with hydraulic functions on it. 9.5hp is more than enough motor to pull a very thin bandsaw blade through any kind of wood.
Please stop that incessant noise you think is music that is ruining a good sawmill video. Those of us that love saw milling love hearing the natural sound of the mill doing it's job and you have that stupid music mixed in with the sawmill sound...that is as dumb as it gets! This is not a music video! For that I thumbs down your video...ditch the crappy noise and let us hear the mill! Thanks!
Thanks
Great video!
Thanks Kwadis
useing what you have to the max. Very nice
How much is that set up cost like that and where do you order it
About $4,000. This is the Woodmizer lx25
Always start on the small end😊
