I recently found your channel and a couple others that talk about sawmill. I am a fairly new owner of a Timberking 1600 and I appreciate what you and many others are teaching. In this episode and the one about setting and sharpening I learned a great deal. Muchas Gracias pues.
Thank you. Great info for this newcomer. Purchased an old LT40. Came with a sharpener. Hence, I am searching for knowledge. You're correct on the less set down lower.
Robert Westfaul in Lucedale, Mississippi is a treasure of knowledge on sawmill blades, his son Howard is greatly knowledgeable as well they are extremely helpful and friendly 😊😊
Good one Thomas... Thank you. Regarding blade thickness; it seems to me that the 55's do not last quite as long as those in the 40 range (41, 42, 45). I've had breakage much quicker on the 55's, but they do seem to cut flatter. Thanks again!
Woodmizer and Lennox make the best blades. 040 and .045 thickness are the only way to go. Anything thinner just wont last or cut straight. I figure 10- 12 hours( 6x resharpe) on a blade and its scape metal.

So far I'm liking Kasco blades from Southeast Metals, their sales & service dept. is very friendly and efficient as well 😊
First video l've watched concerning blades - good info thank you.
Thank you so much for this excellent information!🙂🍃
Another great video, love the background noise lol, farm!!!
Very good content, they ( bands) are such a crucial part of what we do as Sawyer's.
I use 4 degree for everthing, they cut a hair slower but straighter
Indeed, I'm very impressed with them. I cut slow anyway 😆

The thicker blades need larger wheels to travel on, but I agree, they cut extremely flat on a sawmill like mine.
Dogs in face made the video. Found the funky blued German blade with cross blade heat treatment interesting.
They love to make an appearance 😆
My Woodland Mills HM130MAX takes a 158 inch blade 😊

BTW have you purchased the BMS 250 with setter ?
We got the 250 sharpener and the 200 setter. Currently have it at my dad's place.
@@TCSawmills Keep me in the Loop on the performance please.
To much jawing on the same subject on and on and on
