    Hey, Tony, thanks for taking us along. The Lucas sawmill, I easily one of coolest mills I have seen! Take care

      Steve I thought so as well. Though it can’t make slab lumber like your mill it definitely processes dimensional lumber quickly and easily.

    That is definitely a neat saw mill. I can really see the benefits of have a circular saw like that. It was very impressive on the speed of cutting them boards. Stay safe my friend

      Frances it was a cool mill and though it’s been out there it’s not as popular as the standard bandsaw mill.
      Hope you had a great TDay with Brittany and the Boys.

    Tony - it is a little bit of work - but you can do 20" boards if you really want to - just turn the power head around and run it from the other end. Aussie ingenuity mate

    Years ago, I had 4 huge pines milled into limber with a LucasMill that belonged to a guy further down the valley. 400 10 ft 2x4s, all cut in one day. I built woodsheds, a pig shed, a chicken shed, and a bunch of other stuff. They are a superb piece of kit. If I had a woodlot, I'd get one in a heartbeat.👍🪓🇦🇺

    I don't have any experience with bandsaw mills but I do see where they both have there advantages and disadvantages.
    Definitely different to what is the normal.
    Thank you for taking us along.

    • @bwillan

      The big disadvantage to a bandsaw mill is all of the rotating of the log as you are milling your boards.

    It is hard to beat a swingblade sawmill for making finished dimensional lumber right off the log. Lucas isn't the only manufacturer or style of swingblade sawmill. For milling big logs they are certainly the ticket.

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  8 місяців тому

      I agree after seeing several swing blade mills they are the choice for quick processing of trees to lumber.

      Certainly is. Weve had our 827 for a long time, maybe close to 20 yrs, and the tach/hr meter finally quit! Rugged machine and makes excellent lumber and can resaw lumber if you machine a log and leave a step,like an 'L' and set the boards in it. Can cut an edge straight with the blade vertical, and remachine the thickness with it horizontal. Just have the 'L' part as a stop so the blade rotation pushes it to the lip..
      and many more cool things you can do with a lucas mill!
