I tried a couple of new blades same problem. In the middle thickness being less than the thickness on the ends.Īt this point, I knew that I had to find out why the blade was diving in order to keepįrom continuing to mill boards that weren't consistent. The cant and cutting on the other side, thus the blade diving took place on both sides resulting The beams, however, were bowed inward on both sides due to cutting on one side and then flipping In the middle as the ends but showed a convex bow on one side and a concave bow on the other side. Previous cut matched the diving on the present cut. I then realized that the boards had a consistent thickness because the diving on the The wider the cut was, the more pronounced Thickness in the middle as the ends, I noticed that they all seemed to be bowed outwardĪ little on one side and bowed inward a little on the other side.īut it was the beams that I was cutting that were bowed inward on both sides and thus I then check a number of boards that I had previously cut and though most were the same The blade) it gradually rose back up to the original dimension". In other words, the blade was gradually diving to the middle of the cutĪnd then (because of the increasing pressure from the tension of Then I checked the 6" dimension and it also was gradually thinner in the middle than on the ends. Also, at 3' into the cutĪnd at 9' into the cut, it was about 9 & 7/8". I measured the 10" dimension and it wasĮxactly 10" on each end but in the middle it was less than 9 & 3/4". It was thinner in the middle than on the ends. So, I checked it with a string and sure enough, In the middle and not just on that one side, but on the other side as well. I noticed that it did not seem to be straight it seemed that it was bowed concave
Then one day, as I was sighting down a 6"x10"x12' beam that I had just sawn, The boards always seemed to be the same thicknes end to end and side to side. I check the lumber frequently to see if it is sawing evenly. I have milled about 2 dozen logs thus far. I have the Norwood model LM29 sawmill I got it a couple months ago. (and it might apply to the other models as well), then you mightĬheck to see if you could be experiencing this same problem. If you have a Norwood sawmill, specifically the LM29 On the bandwheels, can cause the problem that I experienced. In the way the carriage is raised and that flaw, coupled with the lack of a plumb adjustment But I think that it has a definite design flaw I think they make a decent sawmill and there are a lot of featuresĪbout it that I like. Liftgate not available.Let me start by saying that this post is not meant to bash Norwood sawmills.
