Harbor freight sawmill vs 20" Pine

- In this video, we use our Harbor freight sawmill to mill a 20" pine. The log provided plenty of options for us to explore. The first cuts usually get sold or made into coat hangers and such. Then there's always a bit of regular boards. In this case, we ended up with boards for the interior of our cabin, among other things. We hope you enjoy, and don't forget to like and subscribe. Find your balance!

This just makes me want to get our own mill even more!
We have milled a lot of stuff with it over the last few years.
🎉been watching sawmill videis. Live in north central Al. Bham area. Interested in a good used sawmill reasonable priced.
First thing you do is buy 2 twenty feet rails and throw away the ones it came with, then pour concrete footings to level them and you can cut over 14’ instead of 8’. I have milled a lot of lumber with mine and I can tell you the flexing those runners do will mess up your wood, I like mine a lot.
I disagree with that statement 100% those pieces of angle are stout, there is nothing wrong with the steel, but I do agree that lagging them to a level and most importantly flat slab of concrete makes them rigid, You can buy more track and it bolts right up, then I tack welded and ground the seems. You ask why not just buy the angle in one piece, the answer is the price of steel.
Ummm... I bet that blade did not like that jamming into the log after the rail got cleared. Might have a bit of wave in that 1st cut. Looks like it once you flipped that side against the log stops.
No, you are correct it didn't, especially since that blade was on it's last leg. Given what we were milling (i don't know if you've seen any of our other videos on our channel) it was a risk worth taking. That particular blade has milled almost all of the interior boards for our cabin.
