That is a very nice setup!! As you get your headrig slab cut as well as 2 edger cuts all in one motion. Very time and handling savings!! Production enhancer!!
Yes, the other comment about everybody should pull from the green chain at least eight hours a day one time that is very true. You will get a different perception and I was one of a few jobs that I just hated when I was SAWMILLING
I did 3 yrs on a greenchain at 80,000 fbm a shift. Celgar lumber mill in Castlegar BC Canada. You need the right height with snall rollers on outside chains!! And a 3’x4” roller at piles of 14’ plus lengths.
You buy pizza for lunch on Fridays for the boys or is Miller time on your dime? I agree with a previous comment that everyone should do at least 8 hours on greechain duty. My first experience was at 16 years of age when me and another guy worked a two man chain piling 30,000 fbm a day for two and a half months (summer Job) in 1969. Next greenchain work was 1971 (grad year). Mill had two greenchains and an edge sorter. That mill was cutting almost 400,000 fbm a shit. This was a three line mill.
@@Helmsburgsawmill That is an awesome set up you have for cutting grade lumber. Cutting parallel sided boards without using an edger saves time and man power.
Watching this type of equipment in use is definitely essential viewing!

Thank you, Sam & Dustin🤜👏💪
Amazing video friends
Great work everyone! Thank you for showing us more of the operations in the mill. Stay safe and healthy.
We appreciate it sir!
Thanks for the view of the stacking. Good stuff!
Now that is what I would classify as whacking and stacking with purpose, attitude and efficiency.
Serious oak, serious operation.
Great to see where the real work happens,a very nice setup Guys.
Nice to see the green chain
Thank you, Sam and Dustin!!!
This is how I made spending money from 13 to 18.
Yeah this was cool
Thanks Sam and Dustin 👍
Great video.
Everyone should 'pull a green chain' for at least 8 hrs one time in their life, get a whole new concept of hard work.
Absolutely. Everyone in the world should.
nice to see those Lasers on he vertical edger.
Beautiful work ty
I've been wondering do you use a edger to finish the boards with wane?
If boards with too much wane come off, they’ll put that board below the table. After our run it’ll get run through a table saw.
I enjoy these new perspectives. I’d love to see a view/commentary from your seat
I have a few on back! I will make more here in the future!
@@Helmsburgsawmill appreciate the response. I’ll go check them out
Did this for ten years. Faster line with grader. Enjoy!

That's cool , we'll done bro
I see the lasers showing where the vertical edger blades are going to cut. Is there also a laser showing where the main blade will cut?

We like to get pizza! And honestly, between our crew, there’s not a lot of alcohol consumption🤷
Line is running slow. We’ll stack 75,000-85,000 ft on a 8 hour day
Why do you not stick the wood? Do you just sell green wood?
We stick our own lumber stock. These bundles will get loaded directly onto a semi once the load is complete, hauled and processed

😅
Aside from the sound , what is the difference between the 2 saw blades you use and why do you switch then out ? Thanks 😃
The B pattern holds 48 teeth, and the f holds 52! The F pattern cuts quicker!
However the F was away getting hammered
@@Helmsburgsawmill cool 😎
@@Helmsburgsawmill by hammered do you mean straightened?
Just slap a magnet mound on that
