Getting to know your Woodmizer LT70 Super Hydraulic TIPS AND TRICKS

In this video we’ll explore the controls on a Woodmizer LT70 Super Hydraulic and make our first cuts on a log! You’ll learn things that aren’t explained very well in the manual like using the toe boards and the auto functions, and there is so much more to know after you get more acquainted! Please reach out if you have any questions, Lumbercycle is a nonprofit sawmill that promotes urban forestry sustainability education.

How do you calibrate head position?

[@thomashamiltom]

Well the least helpful answer is that your sawmill should come pre calibrated, and you really shouldn’t touch it… I know this because I changed it and it really messed things up on my Lucas mill! The only things you would need to change are the kerf size if you’re using a different blade. So #1 tell me why you need to adjust the head calibration. If you’re getting inconsistent thicknesses in your cuts or something like that, you made be setting up your legs wrong and you mill is sagging. If you really do need to change it for whatever reason, there’s a setting called head calibration and you can do it in any height position. Move the saw directly over a bed frame and measure from a bottom tooth to the rail and put the measurement in the head calibration menu. You can get close by cutting a piece of wood square at say 12” exactly and use that to get you close, then set the calibration off that. But be as close as you can or just don’t touch it at all. If you want, email me at [e-mail] and I’ll send you the manual with the page that has more info
