  • Micron SW-350 PRO setworks for all sawmills, Wood-Mizer, Norwood, Woodland, Frontier, Hud-son, Cookโ€™s or a DIY bandsaw mill like I have. This video is an in depth look at my Micron pro CNC computer set works.
    The SW-350 is a computer with a sensor that controls the height of any power lift sawmill. This computer setworks auto calculates kerf of your cuts, not only does it determine Kerf it also can easily be programmed for lumber cut lists with memory to recall those lumber cut list at any time when milling.
    Tell the Micron PRO your cant size and board thickness and it will tell you how many boards you will get including kerf out of your cant.
    Push enter and the Micron PRO will auto lower to the first cut.

    Mike, just wanted to say thanks for this video and introducing the Micron Pro. I have a 1987 WM LT-40 and I just installed my MP for my mill yesterday. In my view they still need to spend some time with the manuals, as things could be clearer, but they did always respond to my questions, and we got it done. Thanks again and thanks for discount code!!!! Steve

    Like others have said, I don't have a mill or the space for one, but I found this video fascinating and it's pretty cool you can set it up on a homemade mill and pretty much get perfection out of it!

  • @jameskilpatrick7790

    I don't have land or a sawmill, but if I did, I would not hesitate to fit one of these on my mill. A little automation goes a LONG way in improving usability, and when you're putting your back to work, that's incredibly important.

    Mike Iโ€™ve said it before and Iโ€™ll say it again. You have one of the best ways of making something that could be sooo complicatedโ€ฆ. Seem so easy. I hate reading instructions. You however have a way of explaining things from a Manuel that are superb. Iโ€™m not even looking for a mill. I just enjoy your videos. And also it was cool you showing the name of the person with the song ๐ŸŽต that was playing and to show how to calculate curf!!! Mint โ€ฆ.

    Seeing you entering all those fractions makes me glad we have the metric system over here!

    • @metricstormtrooper
      @metricstormtrooper Pล™ed rokem

      It just takes me back to the sixties before the metric system was introduced in Australia, it made measuring EVERYTHING so simple.

    • @calholli
      @calholli Pล™ed rokem

      I still see fractions in the metric system. 3mm is just 3/10'ths of a cm in my brain. lol..
      Also, fractions are easily converted to our tape measure. How do you measure 4.7625mm on a tape measure?.. Because for me, that's just 3/16'ths of an inch; or 3 little dashes on the tape.

  • @slhasebroock
    @slhasebroock Pล™ed rokem +4

    This is awesome! I have a 1987 WM LT40. It's the first year they had hydraulics. So, this would be a great addition to the motorized but manual blade height adjustment. Lots of playing with the switch to get it to land on the dimension I want. Thanks for the GREAT video on this product!!!!

    @blackbuttecruizr Pล™ed rokem +1

    I used to work at a sawmill in North Central Idaho, they had a similar system on their head rig. It was more advanced of course, and scanned the log, then displayed yield options from an end view. The operator could play around with it and maximize it per their preference, or if there were particular dimensions being ordered. They actually got a contract with a Japanese company, and once a month we would do a full day run of metric dimension lumber for them.

    Hey bud, that is a nice controller! I wish I could get a setup for a machine tool that didn't use conventional scales. If it read close enough that would be nice! Regular scales are a pain. Anyway thanks for the info bud! Keep up the good job ๐Ÿ˜ƒ, mt.

    I`m asking this before the end of the video , can you program the mill to make a cut and return back to make another cut and so on ? So you can program it start it and sit down till it`s done !

    • @Mikefestiva
      @Mikefestiva  Pล™ed rokem +1

      This Setworks is for the height control, it doesnโ€™t have anything to do with the forward and reversing of the mill. You are talking about full automation.
      Automation is pretty complex and would require a lot of switches and a PLC.

    Thank you for making this video. I'm considering buying one so it will help me decide. Question, watching you saw, you seem to be sawing for volume without accounting for the location of the pith, etc. Others say that is important to help the lumber to dry straight. Does your lumber dry straight?

  • @stevensturgill

    Hey really enjoyed the video actually watch it numerous times. My question can this also control travel and return? Or does it only control cutting head height?

    • @Mikefestiva
      @Mikefestiva  Pล™ed 5 mฤ›sรญci +1

      Thanks for checking out my video. This only controls cut height. It basically calculates Kerf throughout the entire log, itโ€™s been really nice to get repeatable cuts and to be able to make an entire cut list for a Cant, Kerf included and the last board always comes out perfect ๐Ÿ‘

    thanks for another great and informative video!
    does the micro-pro have a pattern up function? eg set the band 1", or other increment, above the pith and have the head raise up to the outside of the log? this would help to center the pith in a board or beam.
    also - sawing down with the stack in place can help hold the cant down and reduce thick n thin lumber when there's tension in the log. cheers

    Should change the plasma cutter handle from the handheld version to the tube, vertical type. Puts less strain on the droid and keeps the bundled line out of the mess.

    Great video, very informative. How long have you had the Micron setworks on your mill? Have you had any problems with it? What is its accuracy from board to board? Asking because I'm interested in putting it on an older LT40. Talked with Micron and they were very knowledgeable on my mill and which model I needed. Would just like to know its reliability after a few years of operation and availability of repair parts.

      I have had one on my mill for abut 8 months and I think it is well worth the money the lumber comes out very accurate and very repeatable it is also very easy to install and easy to operate it definitely increases the productivity of the mill I know this sounds like a commercial but that is because I really like results I get using the setworks by the way my sawmill is the one at the end of the video

    When ordering it asks the cable length. Assuming these long cables are for a command post. Mounting directly to the carriage would require a shorter cable. Can it be cut down and spliced?

      This setworks should be able to be adapted to most mills. Do you have an electric motor that controls your board thickness on your circle mill? If not you can still have the setworks tell you how far to move your mill to the next board with manual hand crank. I would recommend emailing the company, they are really good at answering questions and getting right back to you.
