    Hey, Tony, thanks for taking us along. The Lucas sawmill, I easily one of coolest mills I have seen! Take care

      Steve I thought so as well. Though it can’t make slab lumber like your mill it definitely processes dimensional lumber quickly and easily.

    That is definitely a neat saw mill. I can really see the benefits of have a circular saw like that. It was very impressive on the speed of cutting them boards. Stay safe my friend

      Tim, for production milling of dimensional lumber to 10” this mill is unbelievable.

    Cool mill Tony. Thanks for taking us along, I have not seen this type of mill in action.

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  Před 7 měsíci

      Frances it was a cool mill and though it’s been out there it’s not as popular as the standard bandsaw mill.
      Hope you had a great TDay with Brittany and the Boys.

    Tony - it is a little bit of work - but you can do 20" boards if you really want to - just turn the power head around and run it from the other end. Aussie ingenuity mate

      @TonysCoolTools  Před 3 měsíci

      Like the old saying “ if there is a will there is a way” you folks down under just figured it out first😂.

    Years ago, I had 4 huge pines milled into limber with a LucasMill that belonged to a guy further down the valley. 400 10 ft 2x4s, all cut in one day. I built woodsheds, a pig shed, a chicken shed, and a bunch of other stuff. They are a superb piece of kit. If I had a woodlot, I'd get one in a heartbeat.👍🪓🇦🇺

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  Před 7 měsíci

      I was memorized when watching them make different size dimensional beams and boards quickly, easily and accurately .
      It definitely is an awesome piece of equipment.

    The Lucy’s Saw Mill is great and cuts faster too in my eyes.
    $20,000 seems good too😊

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Rick that’s a reasonable price for what that machine can do.

    Like Mother Earth News magazine, great mill, just don’t understand how the log keeps from shifting, maybe pegged to the ground?Thanks Tony🇺🇸

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  Před 7 měsíci

      Mike I think they had wheel chocks in several locations at the bottom of the log.

    I don't have any experience with bandsaw mills but I do see where they both have there advantages and disadvantages.
    Definitely different to what is the normal.
    Thank you for taking us along.

    • @bwillan
      @bwillan Před 7 měsíci +2

      The big disadvantage to a bandsaw mill is all of the rotating of the log as you are milling your boards.

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  Před 7 měsíci

      Daniel you’re right everyone’s need and their equipment should match their need's.
      No one mill will work for everyone.

    It is hard to beat a swingblade sawmill for making finished dimensional lumber right off the log. Lucas isn't the only manufacturer or style of swingblade sawmill. For milling big logs they are certainly the ticket.

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  Před 7 měsíci

      I agree after seeing several swing blade mills they are the choice for quick processing of trees to lumber.

      @TonysCoolTools  Před 4 měsíci

      I agree unless you have a large supply of free wood to process into dimensional lumber.
