Title: Milling
Post by: woodndesign on February 22, 2011, 12:51:59 AM

While looking round the wonderful web, found this, now that's big boys toys..  http://www.garymkatz.com/OnTheRoad/HullOaks.htm (http://www.garymkatz.com/OnTheRoad/HullOaks.htm)...
You'd never fold that blade..  some kit, the size of the fore-end loader, it handles a whole load and the Trucks are never small.. 
I've watched Ax-men and Heli-loggers before now and not alot of that timber or loads are small..

Enjoy.     David

Cheers Martin.

I wonder how or what tension they use and if the cut runs off as mine will, we do see them pushing it back.
Changing blades..   ??? ..   it's folding them, I've done it twice, the last one is hanging up..   :-[ ...

A bit larger then my bandsaw. but just think of the power it must use to start the mill up, don't like my electric bill but my years bill could go on a days on that mill.

Thanks for the link David
