#WoodlandMills #HM126 #Sawmill #Homesteading #DIY #Woodworking #SawmillSetup #SawmillReview
About a year ago, we decided to invest in a sawmill and chose the Woodland Mills HM126. After extensive research and reading positive reviews about their customer support and pricing, we made the purchase. In this video, we share our experience with the setup, usage, and some tips for getting the most out of this entry-level sawmill.
Key Points Covered:
Ordering and Delivery: We ordered the sawmill on a Monday and received it by Friday.
Setup Process: The assembly took about 2-3 days, with each bolt labeled and the instruction manual being thorough.
Track Installation: Initially, we mounted the track on pressure-treated wood, which caused premature rusting. We recommend using a non-treated 2x6 in between.
Leveling the Track: Tips on using a level and string to ensure the track is flat and aligned.
Lubrication: Adjusting the lubrication to just a few drops to avoid issues with the blade.
Engine Performance: Our engine starts on the first or second try and the frame is solid.
Common Issues: Addressing track leveling, blade tension, and sawdust clogging.
Modifications: Adding a digital readout, motorizing the winch, and other custom tweaks.
Log Handling: Using a scissor jack for log adjustments and tips on log stops and clamps.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning, lubrication, and checking the hour meter and belts.
Overall, we highly recommend the Woodland Mills HM126 for homesteaders or anyone looking for a reliable starter sawmill.

2023 - Generator Review: The Harbor Freight Predator 9000
zhlédnutí 43KPřed 3 lety
In this video i will review my Predator 9000 Generator and perform a load testing voltage, frequency and verify the load using a current meter.
Best video about this inverter in all internet, thank you, you have done all the tests that i was thinking
You mentioned downloading the software to your computer but the links in the printer instructions don't take you to the software. How did you download?
Just picked one up open box for $150 I have 5 days to test it, would jumper cables be ok just to test/put a load on it? Edit: I don’t want to buy 2ga cables yet until I know it works (only bought inverter because it was a deal, don’t want to invest unnecessarily)
Excellent video, really good. Thank you!
Do I need a computer to install the software? Or i can do it in the app?

I’m trying to print pictures for my tumblers but the pictures come out the long way and not the square way , how do I fix this
Learned my lesson about mine gumming up. Run it now at least for 5 min a month. So far so good.
Mine had bad GFCI out of the box. Would run led string lights but Tripped under moderate load. Red light “low life” flashing on the outlet. Took it back next day.
Trouble Shooting a predator 9000
I have the 3000 W. And put under load from jump Street it wants to crap out. It's a true sine wave I don't know why he thought that was the first one. Personally I think they're all crap If I have known at the time I would have bought something way better I thought because of its size and what I thought I'd be able to handle something but they are not as good as id hoped
Could my 10 awg cable be what's causing me the status message of hi temperature?
Yes, a 2000w inverter needs 2 awg on the back terminals for battery hookup. If you are using 10awg on the AC output side and the cord is 50ft, yes, that would cause a voltage drop due to resistance of the length of cable. Hope this helps.
What size wire should i use to ground the chassis with this model?
Hate this printer
thank you for adding the extra details too! Great video.
Just bought this today. Hopefully, it holds up. It feels pretty solid though. Definitely lots of space to work with.
So far it has worked good for us
I hate to admit it my generator is from 2017 I only have 50 hours on it never changed the oil and never change the gas I keep it in a dry and heated garage and it never lets me down starts everytime generators last a long time I will change the oil tomorrow its time after 7 years it way over due. I do check the oil and just did today and its still clean looking also checked the airfilter and it was like new truly amazed how clean it looked. I think where you keep it makes all the diffrence in the world.
a good video! Thank god! 🎉
Thanks for watching
Wondering if it still works ? Good video. wondering about the fans too. temperature controlled ?
It has been a few months since I used it,
Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Great review sir. Definitely what I was looking for thank you.
Thanks
Just wondering to how you like it.
Excellent how to. Thank you so much.
Thanks, I am glad I can use it to check my car, motorcycle and boat batteries
It ran my 3 ton heat pump along with the house, I just had to cut off the water heater
Question. I bought a 500w inverter. When I first plug it in to a cigarette lighter socket without a load, it reads input at 12.3v and output at 120v on the inverter LED screen. However, I plug a laptop into one of the standard outlet sockets and the input voltage drops about 2 volts to 10.2 and the inverter starts screaming. I plugged this into my other trucks cigarette lighter and got an input read of 14.1 volts and when I plug the laptop into it, it drops to 12.2v and there are no alarms. Is the issue that the inverter I bought is too small for the load or is the first vehicle just not able to keep up with the demand? The laptop charger says it's 248w.
Could I just run this in my small shop (no utility power) to power an LED light and one power tool if I hook up a car battery? If the battery isn’t in a car, how long will it work? Will it recharge w/o a car to run?
From someone who hates instruction manuals, THANKS!
👍👍👍
you need batteries to test for energy? interesting! thank you
Make sure the rails are on the right side out
thanks
Why do you attach negative first (black) instead of the other way around? I just saw two different AutoZone people do this with checking batteries and was confused. I thought it was always red first when connecting to a battery and black first when disconnecting?
if i were actually wiring something up I would probably wire the positive first.
It doesn't make any difference
just curious how long did it go without an oil change?
generators will last forever if taken care of my generac 3250 is 15 years old i have never used anything but full synthetic oil. it starts on the first pull every time.
thanks for your input. I agree, when you take care of something it will last forever. My 2 tractors are 40 and 50 years old.
if you do a whole house hookup do not put a ground wire on it. it will be against code your house ground works as a ground. you can only have one ground per code
Thanks for watching and thankyou for the information
Thanks
Still having issues with the access to mirror preferences- if you have time added this information 😊
Thanks for watc
HI, YOU MENTIONED CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL AUDIO MIXER , HOW DID YOU DO THAT AND WHAT AUDIO MIXER DID YOU USE
I connected it to a video switcher with audio, I feed the speaker out to the mic/line input of the ATEM Mini. Thanks
I got the answers to several questions I had on this rodecaster duo. Information not found in other reviews… Thank you so much!
If your battery is too weak, can your transmission fail to switch gears even when the car is running? Just starting up a car that sat for 6 years, was running fine and everything before, but it sat outside, battery is definetly shot as it barely started with a boost.
NO.
Thank you for this video setup.
Thank you
Would this pure sine power a Input: 100-240V 50-60Hz. Output Voltage: 20V. Output Current: 15A. Power: 300W computer charger? Any help appreciated.
Thanks for the video. How about the scanning capabilities. Can you scan directly to your computer or only the app on the phone? Thanks in advance.
You can scan directly to the computer, I believe you can only scan one sheet at a time. Thanks
Thanks for the video! You answered questions I wanted answered. I liked the video.
Thanks for watching
Thanks mate
Thank you
I’ve got two 4500 predictors one at home and the other at my off grid cabin there really good little power sources I’ve had very little trouble with them
Thank you Sir. Thank you kindly.
Very welcome
I wonder if the little inconsistencies in the sine wave on the inverter is the result of it being a stepped wave or perhaps it uses a digital chip to create it.
could be. thanks
My meter only goes to 12V 😬🤦🏻♂️
Yeah I'm having the same issue. So put it on 12????
@@CheyenneRain-bh6ht Yes, I figured you can put in on 12V and it’ll give higher than 12V range values also.
I am hoping someone can help me.. I can send to me laptop to printer but it does not print what I want.It always prints a bunch of words that I cannot understand. Can someone Please help me??
These cheap high frequency, transformerless inverters have a short life expectancy. Especially when powering inductive loads like full sized refrigerators, large power tools, portable AC units or large microwave ovens. The reason for this is that all of these lightweight, high frequency inverters lack a very critical component. That critical component is an iron core, copper wound output transformer. Without an output transformer to act as a buffer to absorb the electrical surges provided by the “Flywheel Effect” inherent in the physical amount of a transformer’s iron, these surges and damaging reverse voltage spikes must be handled directly by the inverter’s MOSFET transistors, essentially shortening their life. You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when these high frequency inverters are new, but every time you fire up one of those inductive loads, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in these inverters. To make things even worse, lightweight, high frequency inverters run much hotter and their internal components are far more stressed due to their high switching speeds and use of high voltage components, These two factors makes the low cost, off spec, Chinese made components such as capacitors, MOSFETs, diodes, resistors and ICs that are used in these inverters, far more prone to early failure. Simply put, high frequency inverters are better suited for like duty, electronic devices, and low frequency inverter are better suited for heavy duty, high peak power appliances. Another major consideration with many of these lightweight, high frequency, transformerless inverters is safety. First of all, high frequency inverter don’t have Isolation between the Neutral and Line which increases the risk of a shock hazard. And second, during a catastrophic of the failure of the inverter’s circuitry, all it would take is for the AC output monitoring circuitry to fail and one of the MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground, and these high frequency inverters can send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your connected AC loads which will not only damage most AC appliances but can also set those AC appliances on fire.
do you run tv's and computers on this gen ?
I have run computers on this generator and have actually used it to power a radio station studio in an emergency situation. I did have good commercial UPS systems inline with the computers.
@@Blackwater-Springs thanks for the info.
