Milling small Hickory log with Grizzly Bandsaw and Carter Log Mill
Vložit

- I picked up a Carter Log Mill to help cut some small logs to boards. While the Carter Log Mill can handle a much larger log, my 14" bandsaw has a maximum capacity of 12" resaw.

hello friends greetings healthy and successful always. Thank you for sharing knowledge and always faithfully watching your latest stuff.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is what I want
Carter has some great bandsaw accessories. I'm sure I'll be picking up a few more in the future.
Harbor Freight sells a long sliding clamp would work for this and no need to unscrew the clamps like this. I think I’m going try this with the HF slide I got clamp.
Yep, this works, but there is definitely room for improvement. I'd like to see how that sliding clamp works out. Thanks for sharing.
nice tool,thanks.
Glad you like it. It's getting regular use these days cutting down some small logs for hand plane blanks.
Pretty good, especially considering Hickory is a really tough wood.
Probably a good thing it wasn't osage orange like I originally thought :-)
I see a lot of people sawing little logs like this and was curious as to what do you do with the cut wood. Do you just set it aside for a year or 2 to dry or is there something else you can do with it after you cut it into planks?
Yep, I have a couple bookcases in my shop for boards that I can use for signs, boxes, etc. Once I slice these up, they get added to a shelf to dry in a small sticker stack for a while. If I forget how long they've been on the shelf, they're ready to go :-) You can usually use something cut down to an inch in 6 months or so. I happen to know this particular set of boards is still on a shelf, so it's coming up on two years according to the date on this video.
Thanks for video, just ordered the mill. About how long does a new band saw blade last doing milling like this?
I haven’t noticed any real difference in blade wear when I do this. I’ve power-washed or wire-brushed a couple logs that were really dirty to avoid cutting through rocks and dirt, but other than that, it’s the same.
I’ve been using Wood Slicer blades from Highland Woodworking and replace them every couple months. They run about $30 each. I have a Laguna Resaw King ready for the next replacement, which was about $130. It should last much longer. Hopefully :-)
I'm seriously considering this bandsaw, any comments pro or con since you've had it?
Also would the 14" with a foot brake be of any benefit to the resawing you are doing?
Thanks, I'll sub too.
Hi Rick - I've been very happy with the G0555XH and I'd buy it again. No real cons that I can think of. It's about two years old now and hasn't needed any service. I work from my garage with a single 20 amp circuit, so this really fits the size, power and performance range I need. I do have a separate generator that I'll fire up when I'm running an electric heater and a CNC, both which often run for hours at a time. The bandsaw performs just fine off the generator in those cases. Likewise for my tablesaw, planer, etc. I'm near Chicago, so temperatures drop below freezing regularly this time of year.
I think a foot brake really comes into play for larger bandsaws where the mass of the wheels keeps the blade moving for quite a while. I think the blade stops on its own in about 10 seconds for the 14" bandsaws. I wouldn't object to having one, it's just not as big of an issue on one this size.
@@WindRidgeWoodCrafts Hey thank you very much for the quick reply. You just sold a g0555xh. Thanks again.
@@rickgreen9936 Enjoy. And thanks for the follow up.
I just bought G0555XH as well. Do you use 220V or 110V?
My entire shop currently runs on 110. As soon as I pick up a couple 220 tools, I'm sure I'll convert it to 220.
@@WindRidgeWoodCrafts Do you think the band saw would run faster with 220 ? What different does it make between 110 and 220 in the term of performance?
@@loinguyen8511 There is no difference in power (watts or HP) between the voltages. Note the rating of the bandsaw is 1.75 HP. To convert HP to watts, multiply HP x 746. So, 1.75 HP is about 1,300 watts. At 110V it uses 15A for 1550 watts, at 220V it uses 7.5A for 1550 watts. It's just a matter of what circuits you have available in your shop. I'm currently in a garage with a single 110V, 20A circuit. Generally speaking, a 220V circuit will have a minimum of 20A, with 30A and 50A circuits also common, whereas I'm topped out at 20A for 110V. In other words, you can run more total power (tools) on the circuit. If you notice in a couple of these videos, I turn on the bandsaw and then the Shop-Vac. They each take about 15A to start (startup surge), but the bandsaw uses a lot less to run/idle. As you cut, it will draw more power (amps will increase as voltage remains the same). Likewise, the Shop-Vac will draw more power when it is under heavy load, but that doesn't normally happen when it is hooked up to a bandsaw, since the amount of sawdust it is collecting is very little. When I am resawing something like oak or maple that is more than 8" thick, I'll typically leave the Shop-Vac off since the power needed to cut that will increase to the max of 15A, and along with the Shop-Vac probably running at 7A will overload the circuit and trip the breaker.
@@WindRidgeWoodCrafts Thank you so much for your times. I understood much more and I think, for the long run, I need to rewire the band saw to 220 and run an other line for 220s machines. Thanks again Mike!
You sped up the cuts, which is why we're watching and played the adjustments at regular speed. 🤔
Sorry, Richard, just trying to respond to viewer stats. The drop-off in viewers with a slow cut is why the cuts are sped up. The lack of viewers for longer videos is why I try to keep the video length under 10 minutes.
@@WindRidgeWoodCrafts agree with you…speed the cut 👊🏻
