One of the best trails in the area! Just saw your recent video now on this same trail, well done on going down there solo! Some sections are pretty sketchy, but so much fun. Keen to ride Knysna.

@@peetvanstaden1990 was super fun. 😁

It’s got a bit of everything. Can’t wait to see this area be the next witfontein.

My pleasure grant. Was a great time out, Smiles all the way!

Hi Julian, this was a 75mm band.

@@peetvanstaden1990nice to cut straight and fast ;) thanks

Hi Markus, the 75mm / 3" blade is a hybrid option between wide and narrow bands.. Using a narrower 2" blade s also a good option on this machine, and will allow for higher strain, this would however sacrifice some blade stability.

Hi John, very good catch. This video was taken during initial testing, where we purposely limit machine speed to get the operator use to the controls. We're cutting significantly faster today after the initial training period. Compared to the circular saws, we generally do cut a bit slower on the band-saws, economically speaking though, our customers have testified to higher dollars and cents at the end of the month by taking the band-saw approach. This is of course dependent on specific circumstances of each mill.

A circle saw correctly matched to the timber could be 10 times faster but a wide bandsaw of that size with logs that size should be run at about 120 feet a minute. Anything much below that and the teeth are rubbing so going blunt quicker and the sawdust is to fine to be carried by the gullet. Sawdust left in the cut heats the blade and destroys the tension. Better to teach someone the correct way so they can see what they HAVE to achieve. Very few sawyers pick it up by themselves.
