Sawmill Operation
TO TURN LOGS
1.
Engage the log turner arm. Let the arm rise until it touches the log.
2.
Spin the log against the side supports until it is turned the way you want it for the first cut.
TO TURN LOGS (OPTIONAL PROCEDURE)
If you are turning a small cant on a mill with two-plane clamp, you may opt to use the
clamp to turn the cant.
1.
Lower the clamp below bed level.
2.
Move the clamp in, beneath the edge of the cant.
3.
Raise the clamp and flip the cant.
TO CLAMP LOGS
1.
Clamp the log against the side supports.
2.
Lower the turner until the arm falls below the bed.
3.
When the turner arm is lowered all the way, the side supports will begin to lower. Back the
clamp off slightly, and let the side supports come down until they are positioned below the
level of your first few cuts.
TO LEVEL A TAPERED LOG
Raise the front or rear toe board until the heart of the log measures the same distance
from the bed rails at each end of the log.
