You've Never Seen This Tool! - How Professionals Straighten and Edge Wood, (Straight Line Rip Saw!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2021
- As part of our saw milling, lumber and wood working processes, the fastest way to get a glue line edge is with a straight line rip saw or SLR. It's like a table saw on steroids, and faster than a jointer. This is my wife's favorite machine and it is relaxing to her, and she dances when she uses it. For fun, I tried to sync the video music up to the beat of whatever she was listening to, and was reasonably successful. I discuss how the SLR operates and show it edging wood. This is one step of our process of going from logs to high quality lumber.
Planing and Flattening wood. Watch the best and most amazing woodworking tool, flattening lumber in our wood shop, a production sawmill and lumber yard operation. We teach and demonstrate our snipe free, jointer thickness carpet planer combo and produce wood for customers and projects. Don’t watch a TV show, watch our wood working and lesson videos! We make and sell wood that is more like a work of art than a piece of lumber.
This is tour of Hobby Hardwood Alabama. This is where we sell our wood, and server hundreds of customers per week. We saw our wood with our Woodmizer LT-70, dry the wood and in our kilns, plane and process the lumber and then sell it in this building.
Welcome to Hobby Hardwood Alabama - a real, professional sawmill lumber production business, ranked by a national website as producing the highest quality wood in Alabama, of about 45 different species. We are not a video company, but we are a real lumber company, and want to show others some of our money making and business sawmill techniques. This video is another example of sawmilling for our business, Hobby Hardwood, Alabama. We show how we mill logs, dry them and other things on our outdoor farm. We use our amazing fleet of hardware and tools, such as our custom New Holland Tractor, Wood-Mizer LT-70 sawmill, as well as our Cantek planers, Baker edgers, and SLR machines in action, operation, milling and while sawing logs to lumber. The Woodmizer LT Super 70 sawmill is the the biggest, fasted and most automatic bandsaw mill Woodmizer makes, with joystick control and Diesel engine. Very few sawmills are this fast, including Baker, Morgan, Harbor Freight, Cooks, Northern, Timber King, Norwood, Woodland, chainsaw mill, and Hudson. It’s not an Amish Sawmill, but the fastest and most modern band mill Wood-Mizer makes, and produces the best lumber wood for wood working projects and our lumber business. We also showcase our Nyle Kilns and air drying lumber techniques. Lots of tips and tricks to make sawing and drying easier for beginners and professional woodworkers to keep our sawmill turning trees and logs into gold instead of firewood. My buddy, Nathan Elliot, of Out of the Woods Sawmill, OTW, convinced me I needed to start filming our operation, so here goes. Someday I want to have as many followers as other sawmill videos on UA-cam, like Nathan and Outdoors With the Morgans. We show how to make money with your sawmill, and pass on our how-to tips and tricks for better sawmilling. Watch us use our sawmill, chainsaw mill, band saw, and bandsaw.

That is the coolest piece of equipment I believe I’ve ever seen. I wish I wasn’t getting started a such an old age. Maybe the son will carry on
Thanks!
Thanks for the knowledge
My pleasure
Thanks for the demonstration.
Another cool machine... thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I had one of these before I sold my cabinet shop. Very useful tool! They may seem a little pricey but the labor savings was huge! I run its big brother, the gang rip now in my moldings shop. Every once in a while I wish I hadn't let the straight line go. Smaller jobs for me are where this saw shines. Happy sawing!!
Yes, these are like surgeons scalpels, they are precise and very easy to use.
Great information. I wondered how you cut those perfect edges. Also Martha your dance was cute!
Yep this machine does a great job and she gets in the zone when she's listening to music and running the SLR
Cool machine!
Thanks!
Just discovered and subscribed about a month ago to the channel. I’m from Middle Ga and saw for enjoyment. Really like your setup and the way you operate. AC
Thank you!
Well done demo of the straight line rip.
Similar to the one I used to work with, and think that was a Diehl .
Thanks
I think I need to add one one these to my arsenal.
We sold our table saw after getting this because we never used it anymore.
the feed system reminds me a little of a sewing machine
It is certainly unique. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I worked on a moulder crew on the early 80's. It took a good 2 man team to rock and roll back then. I got very good on the out feed end, of course I had no choice.
Yes, the boards are coming out one way or the other, and it takes a good crew working in sync to get it done with the least amount of effort.
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama to be honest, it takes a lot of effort, focus an timing. On the outfeed side, the first board comes thru straight lined, the scrap goes on one cart, as your pitching the board back, while another straight lined board comes at you. Then the actual ripped piece comes that goes stacked neatly on a seperate cart, and so on and so on...not to mention that the operator has multiple feed rate choices. It took a lot of syncronisety.
I would appreciate your help about an item on order. An Eg 200 edger or this machine? It looks great.
Both are very good machines. It would depend on how you want to use it. The EG200 is a roller fed machine, so has different characteristics than a Baker, which is a conveyor fed machine. Both have their advantageous and disadvantages, however, both are the top machines that I researched.
So who makes that edger? I’d like to get more info and pricing on that machine.
I also like your joiner. Which manufacture is that?
I’m in Pa so a bit far for a visit but I’d love to.
The SLR is made by Northtec, which was out of Kentucky, about $20K. its similar to a C-12RSH. The jointer is made in Italy by SCMI. About $20 for it, give or take, plus the 3 phase converter.
Do you have 3 phase to your shop or do you use a phase converter?
We can't get 3 phase line power, we run both a phase converter for the smaller tools, and a 3 phase generator for the high demand tools. Good question, this would make a good video.
We need video of you dancing with Martha.
Ha, that's not going to happen. I don't have her moves. I move like a piece of wood. No flexibility.
How hard would it be for this thing to consistently rip 3/4” 2by material? I make flags from 2x10x10 and considered something like this to rip the whole 10’ board at a time and then section to 36”.
That is exactly what it is designed to do, rip fast and true. It will rip 2” x 12 foot long material easily, and we do it all the time. Or you could do the same with a gang saw, which is this type of machine with multiple blades.
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama what’s generally the thinnest pieces it can consistently rip?
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama and thanks for the response. I don’t know anyone with one of these and no dealers seem to really use them. Hard to ask questions lol.
Thank you for making this video would you please share the model and manufacturer name at your convenience thank you
Its a Northtec 15 hp, from Kentucky
Thank you sir
Just bought a used one but can't seem to figure out what type of oil the feeder chain takes. Doesn't say on the reservoir. What type do you use?
30 wt motor oil and you need to adjust the flow rate to properly lubricate the chain and ways, but not cause oily sawdust to stain the boards.
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama very much appreciated! Love your videos, wife, sister and I run our little shop here in PA
Banks double edger compete with that ripper?
Our SLR has a fine cutting blade, with an 8' guaranteed glue line. We also use our Baker to edge, and it will do 3" thick, two blades, at full speed. Each has its uses, as one machine is more surgical, the other is for high speed bulk edging.
how much is this,,, where can I buy one?
It's called a Straight Line Rip saw, or SLR, and can be bought from production equipment sellers. Depending on quality, they cost anywhere from $20K on up. Thanks for watching!
What brand saw?
Nortec, made in Kentucky.
@@HobbyHardwoodAlabama cant find Nortec...did you mean northtec
Seen it and spent hours upon hours on them.
Thanks for watching!
You use the cutoffs for heat? Man I saw a mill that was so self efficient they made their own heat for the kilns AND made their own electricity lol
Yes, we waste almost nothing.
Roll Tide!
Roll Tide!
She should never stand behind that saw, I have seen horrible kick back throw a spear through a wall
I agree
Imagine being in college class and you are trying to listen to the professor but the college is being persistent in piping in music into the college classrooms. It's very frustrating to listen to the professor while being forced to listen to music that you probably don't even like. Please don't play music in your videos.
I agree, had already come to that conclusion, and have already made that adjustment. This was one of my first videos. Thanks for watching!
