#maintenance #lumber #lumberyard #woodmizerlt70
Woodmizer should hire you to star as a presenter in some of its training/maintenance videos. You would certainly hold everyone's attention.
Great idea.
She could sell sand to a desert...
@@PerspectiveEngineer Saudi Arabia would be interested, for sure.
Wood miser should have done the upgrade from the lt40 to the lt70 for free. They're getting a ton of free advertising on this channel.
It would be a great idea.
I watched their training DVD, but it’s so boring that you can't get through more than 15 minutes of it, even though I paid a hefty price for it. But I doubt they'd accept an lady it; the company is still very macho😂
Put atf in a pump bottle, we squirt it on the rail ever morning while running the head both ways, keeps the felt in the head lubed to keep the rail clean (way quicker)
The chain we use a industrial chain spray, gets in better and quicker..
Cheers 😊
We use a product called “aerokroil” with silicone. Silicone repels dirt and dust better than straight atf.
I like that not having to take the felt out!!
@@scottsoper yes we might take it out every 3-6 months to give it a good clean but that's it..
We put oil in a cheap pull top dish soap bottle. To oil roller chain on a chain apron/floor round baler. 6 chains on the floor and 2 on the apron. So easy! Oiled chain every 2 hours. Most nights baled 8-10 hours. So easy and clean!
Your witty repartee is what makes these maintenance videos bearable. Keep at it, you are burning it up!
I was thinking about her eyes
suggestion for woodmizer to add a remote grease zert for drive bearing
example harvest combines round baler have many zerts very hard to reach so manufacturers place zerts at a easy to access location and add tubing to the bearing
Great video and you are a good teacher. Keep things family friendly, if possible, so the home schoolers can teach from your videos.
Woodmizer should have a recommendation chart for all lubrication points on your mill.
Slather and blather are technical terms! Good job.
splather is officially a new word at least in my book
As a retired aircraft mechanic, PM (periodic maintenance) saves repairs in the long run. The old "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
Loved the videos ❤ Have a wonderful day from 🇨🇦☕️📹👍
Emerald, they make a 45 degree grease fitting (zirk) that you could install in that location @ 15:22 and @ 16:20 that would allow you to attach your grease gun MUCH easier! It'd make you grease maintenance so much easier!
Routine maintenance is the life of any machine. Take care and it will last for many years. Excellent job ladies thank you for sharing.👍♥️♥️
A good air compressor and a ball valve with 4’ of 1/4” pipe flattened to create a blow gun cleans the engine and tight gummy areas very well. Be careful you can damage things with this air.
If I may, I recommend installing grease lines for remote greasing in the places where the zerks are hard to reach.
Develop a written checklist and put it on or by the mill so that things are not overlooked.
Print up a maintenance checklist and have it laminated. Hang it in the dollhouse where it’s clearly visible to remind what needs to be done and how often.
OMG Emerald! What more needs to be said. Love this channel!
.. what Emerald is calling the drive belt bearing is just a linkage bushing to engage and disengage the belt/blade ...!
Go to Harbor Freight and get a Hercules or Bauer workbench blower. Just like a leaf blower but smaller and lighter with a smaller nozzle to get a more focused airflow.
I love mine, and because it's shorter, it's easier to blow off my clothes...especially on my back.
Otherwise it's the blow gun on my Garage compressor.
My old LT40 came with an excellent manual describing all the maintenance, alignment and most other things you’d need to know about a mill. Somebody put a lot of work into writing it and I’ve found that unlike the operator’s manuals that come with more modern equipment, the old one they sent with my mill covers everything important. The newer equipment literature seems to be written by and for children and I find it hard to locate what I need in it. Maybe people expected that mill owners back in 1993 (when mine was built) knew something about equipment in general and they wrote their manuals accordingly. You’re right about maintenance, it’s exceedingly important. My routine is much like yours and the old gal has served me well.
Emerald: feel so empty inside? 😂 That just made me laugh. So funny 😘
.. WM recommends oil/clean the guide rail and chain every 25hrs ..!
Need a socket wrench vs regular wrench.
That’s what I thought when Emerald was taking the cover off the felt pad that wipes down the bar that the mill travels on. A ratcheting box end wrench would work well too.
I’m always messing with wood so I clean my machines and then I use the blower on me to get all the saw dust off. Great Video!
If it's hardwood then your are well on your way to major health problems. Hardwood dust is known to cause cancer. Softwood with mould will give you sawmillers lung. And western red cedar causes major respiratory disease. Blowing yourself down is the worst thing you can possibly do. I pity that poor dog in the video.
On a different note correct maintenance is really important. But over greasing is fatal for ball or roller bearings. If you see grease emerge from the seals it's already knackered. Fine on bushes like on a loader or backhoe or really slow stuff.
For clarification. Most electric motors require zero grease for about 5 years. They don't even have a way to add grease. Sadly too many small mills learn on the job. Flying by the seat of their pants. Wood mixer should have been out and fully commissioned the new mill along with giving FREE training for every aspect of operations. In Europe it's a legal requirement. Not a choice.
Low speed bearings dont need to be greased much , epically as new bearings tend to have dust covers so if you over geese them the grease blows the cover off the bearing and then dust can get in , but certainly high speed bearings should be greased regularly
Em = awesomeness.
Jade = awesomeness.
You girls are an incredible amount of knowledge
Great presentation!
Emerald if you had a narrow opening on the end of your leaf blower you can shift the sawdust and bark further out and your right about the maintenance not to many people do till something breaks
Maintenance is essential. I hope Wood-Mizer uses sealed bearings and related components because of the dusty environment. Very true about blowing the dust off first. Oil attracts dust. ATF is a good lubricant for outside uses but the smell is strong.
I think those little black plates right above the rail, on the part where the felt is in, is supposed to be almost touching the rail, so it cleans the rail a bit from sawdust buildup
Always blow off the radiator. A plugged radiator will cause overheating issues.
I was going to say also I've seen a guy that put a cable up with a blower and he set it up so you can pull all the sawdust and push it through a pipe to a finish spot to remove quickly. I also use a snow shovel to scoop the sawdusting and put it in a general pile to use a skid steer to scoop. you guys are awesome. I have two daughters 13 and 14 I'm trying to raise them like you are raised. God bless
Breaths new life into it.your symbol of protection!
nice shorts :-) . use a spray bottle to apply the ATF with a rag under the chain, and get a socket wrench and keep nearby to remove bolts.
Hey y'all.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Very nice sawmill and very nice of you.
So, what will you do with the mill this winter?
Mill lumber..... What do you mean ?
@scottsoper probably means if it snows on top of it, since it's no longer under roof.
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
It's called a wiper keeps the way clean of debris and lines it up
Have you considered something like a DuPont
Motorcycle Grunge Brush?
Sawdust and sap can build up and mess your dimensions up. We rarely sawed pine or other tar like sappy logs, but when we did we would saw one hickory log every fifth log to clean the sap off the blade. Happy sawing and keep that thing lathered up!
Like the new hair doo their Emerald.
Amazing video here, I helped my ex and her friends dad run there old mill before they sold it to another friend due to getting too old to run it anymore
You should wax certain flat metal areas for protection. Maybe fluid film on exterior spots that away from sawdust that will get weathered the most. You sure can manually push that machine 😊
I'd need ear plugs and safety glasses when running the blower. Thanks
Mighty FINE job!!
I would guess that the head travel distance could be part of maintenance counters inside the control unit, somewhere next to motor hours (or whatever the official term is for that).
Great information good videography and goid thumbnail. Thanks ladies
Isn’t there a manual with a maintenance schedule for all the components?
@11:08 You showed us the "fabricy part" that you soaked with Automatic Transmission Fluid. You said the fabric was dirty and full of sawdust. Have you considered washing it in a bath of ATF or perhaps some solvent then soaking it in ATF? I've done that with some types of air cleaners and it seemed to prolong their life.
I use a backpack blower and use I. use a 2 gallon pump sprayer mixed with half diesel quarter. used motor oil to spray things down after I blow it off at the end of the day and before I start. if you want you can use vegetable oil mixed with alcohol to thin it so it's more organic
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
My mill is much smaller and basic. Maintenace is just as important but less to do. I also cut my own trees and haul them so time is spent doing that. Also , I live in the far north of Ontario ,Canada so with -50° f winters my usable milling time is limited . A T B
I'm surprised that chain doesn't have a dispenser where it picks up atf, or sprocket bearing grease, on it's own as it passes through. Like many other chain driven machines such as chain saws.
Instead of using an 11 mm wrench on that unit that holds the fabric, get a battery powered driver with an 11 mm socket, much faster.
👍 That is what I was thinking also.
Sono sempre bellissimi i tuoi video sei fantastica
Equipment maintenance is high on my list of priorities. I used to work for a tree service and operated everything from chainsaws to the John Deere 790D. I looked after the equipment i used as I don't like being stopped during a work day because of mechanical failure. It's a good habit to have. Once you streamline the process it becomes second nature.
I'd be using proper chain lubricant on the roller chain and fluid film on the rail the head slides on.better than ATF it's designed more to prevent foaming than as a stay in place lube.
It is practical if the worker also be the mechanics. And spars a lot of money for the family.
In our old firm, the mechanicers, who came every day from diverse cities, but wanted not to work in our firm. Probably they earned more and could do private things in firm-time. A family firm is a family firm. I worked in a kind of government firm. Everything pay the tax-payer.
All the best for your family.
I use the Dewalt 20volt grease gun. It has a work light as well. I highly recommend it as it speeds up the process and keeps the most of the mess off of your skin.
home school all your children. a working sawmill ran by a home schooled lady will eventually wear out . your videos are very , much gold medal material dang it keep sawing and keep loggin drill a well a nd keep on truckin
Good job🎉
Имею виду ваше творчество и безусловно физический труд
Had some chain lubing experience riding dirt bikes on sandy and dusty roads, there are "dry" lubricants, Teflon (PTFE) based, they will lubricate but will not be sticky, saw dust will not clog things up. They cost more than ATF, but they last longer and easy to apply, don't have to do it daily. A cheaper, but also good solution is rubbing the chain with a common candle wax, it will lubricate but will stay dry and less sticky, but this is a more of an improvised solution, can't tell how it will behave in your conditions, may accumulate on some cogs or rollers, may get hot and stick.
Get a Makita drill motor and put a socket in it and you can remove that plate so much quicker.
Great T-Shirt
Great video!
Emerald, you should turn the exhaust on the engine sideways. You'll get rain water going down to the engine. That will ruin an engine quickly if you get enough water going down it.
They put something over it to keep the rain out.
I believe that when greasing, you will be able to see the 'new' grease exiting someplace near the grease fitting. That is when it is full. Just no need to add more than that.
What ever happened with the breaking saw blade issue? Curious to know if you ever solved the problem or do you just live with it? Having been a machinist in the day I shudder to see all that saw dust and ATF accumulation on rolling and bearing surfaces. You look good in the natural light.
yes grease maintenance important to do and yes overgrease , happy video 's to look at , succes
Some kinds of bearings can be over greased because of the seals that hold the grease in. However you are greasing by hand so it is not too likely that you will push to much grease in, Regular is what is needed, not large amounts. Just fill up the bearing.
Shouldn't all the routine maintenance be listed in your manual, including the frequencies to do it?
I would like to see it under some type of roof. Maybe parcel sides where needed. Winter is coming, snow, ice rain is not good. Watch every episode. Southern Oregon.
Unfortunately a roof will not likely be happening before winter.
Perhaps "partial" would work better?
That's great advice❕🔥🔥💖😀
Someone once said that 90% of life is maintenance. The other 10% is showing up.
You mentioned a couple times lately about being at the Paul Bunyan show on October 3rd but it actually runs from Friday October 4th thru Sunday October 6th. Thought you might like to know so you can correct that on future videos. Take care all.
Better be there on October the 3rd if you want to see Emerald and Jade!! I am quite sure that is not a mistake.
@@scottsoper The 3rd is a mistake. Look up the Paul Bunyan show online like I did and you will see on the website it says the dates are from Friday Oct 4th thru Sun Oct 6th.
@@geraldhandy2589 It is a question of what the internet says vs. what Emerald says! I know that the internet says 4-6th. I have been to the Paul Bunyan Show web site a number of times for a number of reasons. However Emerald and Jade will be there on the 3rd, do their thing and be going home on the 4th. Time will tell if I understand what they are doing correctly.
@@scottsoper The show will not be open on the 3rd. If they are there then - there will be no public there to meet them.
Wm must have a chart that denotes all the oiling needed emerald ?!
Bicyclists also use roller chains,roller chains need lubrication. Roller chains were originally designed to run in an oil bath,inside an engine. Many of us use paraffin wax to lube our chains,because it is NOT sticky and doesn't retain dirt and turn into a grinding paste. Oil-based lubes are best used in WET environments. But YOUR machine's roller chains are too big for the wax treatment cyclists generally use. Which reminds me,it's time for me to rewax my bike's chain.
BTW,Dupont makes a spray-on dry lubricant for motorcycle chains.
blades break for a couple way your feed is to fast check the tension if it keeps cracking near the weld the blade might not be anealed right
Isn’t there a bearing on the left side also? Or is it a sealed bearing? Good job Emerald! ❤🌹
Bonjour à tous superbe vidéo très bien émeralde il faut être pointilleux sur l’entretien c’est des moulins qui coûte très chère il faut les bichonner n’oublie pas de mettre la ceinture de sécurité quand tu roule livrer le bois bonne journée. Kénavo. Bretagne
Use a driver and socket for the ATF lubing the cloth strip maintenance to make it faster.
.. pretty sure I'll outlive the two foot flex-pipe exhaust extension and the baling wire ...?!!!
ATF oil in your video, is that Automatic Transmittion Fluid? I use chain lubrication made especially for chains. It does not attract dirt.
I would recommend "transmission" fluid??
good content. But nice if you explain a bit WHY some things are important. You blow off the sawdust. Makes it pretty? Obviously that is not the reason. Sawdust if left on can promote rust, cause it will get wet and hold the wetness there, plus there are chemicals in the sawdust that will promote the rust too. Of course ONE thing that you folks Should do is to build a cover for the machine. A roof over the machine would help tremendously. (and make sawing in the rain a lot easier). As other have suggested, make a checklist.
A roof would help but it will not be happening this year.
Those are called grease fittings.... I think you call them grease fairings.... You can over Grease electric motors. And if a Great Big blob of Grease got too close to a drive belt.... I think it could cause some slippage.... And that could cause a fire.
need done? is that the new way to say it in PA?
Nice Cephalic veins.
Actually, too much grease can be just as bad as not enough grease.
dig the vids, idea for the shirt,,,,, sawdust on my mind, diesel in my veins ,,,,, pc out God bless
Daily maintenance though key to equipment longevity can sure be tedious. Have you got an old cordless drill or drill/driver laying around with some life left in it? It will work great on small nuts so long as there is room. Just chuck the correct socket and go drdrdrdrdrdrdrdr. Mch much easier and most importantly faster than the box wrench I saw used on the ATF applicator/rail wiper felt cover. Was that the idler or perhaps clutch pulley of the blade drive that you greased at the end of the video. Kinda looked like it but wasn't sure. Love the chennel and the point of view it (you) represent.
I did notice you didnt grease or oil your guide arms for your saw lift. Does the one guide rail have a felt pad under it ? There are also track scrapers on that side.
FIY using the leaf blower is a great idea but you should always remember to work from the top down not up. I have worked on many machines and you are right there is no such thing as over greasing unless the grease gets on something it shouldn't be on lmao.
Thanks beautiful ladies.
I would buy a battery powered Blower. The Stihl blower will make your hair smell like 2 cycle oil. Plus the exhaust will give you lung damage. The batteries can charge in the control shed. We use silicone spray on rails because it repels dirt and sawdust better than atf and it doesn’t mess up the ground water. So electric blower and silicone spray plus get a battery powered grease gun with a long pigtail. Keep up the great work. If I was selling Mills I would hire both of you for trade shows and fairs. You both work very hard and know your stuff. Definitely try to keep the chemicals off you.
Gas powered is best in this case I believe. Anyway it is what they have and it works.
@@scottsoperI would normally agree except she is using that thing 360 degree. The new cordless blowers are perfect for what she is doing. The fire departments are using them to remove smoke and gasses. I would also use a cordless grease gun. Is this Pennsylvania or Poland turn of the century.
You gals can make watching a ho-hum job fun to watch.
Not that I know... Could you use a battery operated tool to remove the nuts fast and flip the felt w/atf on it after a while, then replace on schedule?
I am watching too many LCL video's, now I am saying "without further a due" all the time LOL
That is meant as a compliment. I don't feel the overwhelming urge to go buy a LT-70 yet, so its under control so far.
However I am drinking more coffee.
If you want to use proper Emeraldspeak it is 'ado'. 😊
And ado even.😉
Instead of ATF, try 'Fluid Film'. Can purchase by the gallon or in spray cans.
You also need a flapper on your exhaust pipe. If it rains water goes into your exhaust and could hydrolock your engine which could be very costly repair .
They put a can over it
