Very nicely done and very helpful.
We are one call or click away if you need anything James Vance.
Good video.
Thanks for watching, and for leaving the comment!
Very informative video. However, with all these nuts and bolts, I have a number of questions. Why do you not use any lock tight and torque wrenches during initial installation to keep nuts from back off during vibrations from day to day use of using a sawmill? Seems like an important missing step.
Thank you for the question Carl Marks, Dave is a legend at assembling and running the Norwood sawmills. Some people do use blue lock tight on some of the hardware and some use gray anti-seize for other items.

Good observation! The flange nuts & bolts have ridges that bite into the metal. They're shaped in such a way that they go in easily, but don't back out on their own. Nuts with the nylon inserts will stay put, with no problem, and the hydraulics go together with compression fittings, and I've never had one come loose on the mill, tractor, or log splitter. You are right, in that they do need to be adequately torqued down, but, especially on fittings with "O" rings, going too tight can damage the seal, and they will leak. If you do use Loc-Tite, be sure to use the blue, so you can take it back apart if you ever need to. Best of luck with your mill. Once you get the hang of it, you'll love it!
I plan on getting an HD 38 with an electric motor. Does an electric motor unit also have an electric hydraulic motor unit?
Good question. You'll have to check with Norwood about that, but it shouldn't be too hard to adapt an electric motor to it if the rpms aren't too far off. Are you going with 3-phase? Your's would be the first electric 38 that I know of.
@@daveboyt6810 Thank you.
Same plan here. Norwood tells me They can sell me everything but the motor and I will have to buy it elsewhere.
Hi Linzie. We can certainly help you with your engine needs. We have many selections including an electric options for the hydraulic attachment.

Nice. But terribly expensive.
Hydraulics are generally very expensive. Their prices aren't bad in comparison, you wouldn't save much building it from scratch yourself, at least not with brand new components.
@@woodlandwrench True enough! I just had a couple of cylinders rebuilt and new hoses for the old tractor. I shoulda been sitting down when I got the bill!
It's all a matter of economics. Compared to the expense (and paperwork) of hiring some help, it's a not-brainer!
@Dave Boyt Yeah, when you're not used to hydraulic bills, then you're in for an eye opener. I recently ordered two small double acting cylinders, 30mm rod, 40cm extension, $800.
@@woodlandwrench Agreed.
Dave is great! I'd buy that unit if I could get a Norwood guy to come set it up here in Sylacauga Al and go over it with me.
