We have sharpened it once, had some issues with our dimond wheel. I've ordered a new one and will try again next week. Part 2 will show our screw up and part 3 will hopefully show or recovery.
Yeah that’s a good number of board feet for that blade but you also said you hit some nails as well. That’s even more impressive. Can you resharpen those blades?
That Carbide Blade is impressive. We have a 2013 TK 2000 with a 34 hp Kohler engine on it. In Western North Carolina, we have plenty of Black Walnut and I love cutting it. I can't wait to know the manufacturer of the blade, and it's cost. Most of the time, I can get a blade to get through 3 logs of the same size on this video (500-600 BF). Love the 2220 with the diesel. You and your father should get plenty of use out of that mill.
In my experience it's best to run heavy 0.55 munksfur 2in steel on a 7 degree hook. Yes you will hit metal but I routinely run through nails without significant deflection. Sure you can pay over $200 for a carbide blade but your still only going to get so many hours from the blade before the steel in the blade fatigues. Keep in mind your not grinding the gullet upon sharpening to remove micro fractures so in theory blade life could be less than good carbon steel. I've run carbide and wasn't a fan and was shit out of luck when I wanted a few blades sharpened. Best regards.
Thank you for posting. Where did you buy the carbide tip blade. I’ve been looking. They are hard to find. Wood Mizer is a couple months out for CT blades.
@@TCSawmills Thank you for that info. I just left a voice maill with them. Im looking forward to doing some quality milling with the CT blades. Thanks again.
Screaming fish LOL. Board foot doesn't seem like an accurate way to measure, if you cut 2" thick (2 cuts, top and bottom) you get half the cut for the same board feet as 2 pieces of 1" thick (3 cuts, top, middle and bottom) or 1.5 times the actual wood cut for the same board footage.
Yes you are right, the ultimate test would be 1x material. But the comparison so far would be 4 logs with a normal blade and 13 logs with the carbide. Cutting the same stuff.

You’re so fortunate to find such fine wood! I’m a little jealous! Sorry 😞
Thank You so much for sharing and the education on TK! Wonderful Job
That lumber looks really cool. Great video!
Wow looks beautiful!!
Thank you, these were some amazing slabs from this tree.
So the carbide tip is cutting through the nails with no apparent damage?! If so, that’s a gamechanger!!!
So far on that blade I believe I've cut 8 nails now....it's pretty awesome
Looked like a face on that second knot you tapped on.pretty cool.beautiful wood man.like testing the products.
Will Mr. Robert be able to re-sharpen your carbide blade with his normal grinding wheels, or will it require a harder material wheel?

very nice slabs as usual.
Thank you. We have been getting lucky with these logs.

Man..reference cut hopefully thick enough to use those knot/burls for bowl blanks!
Yes in deed
Wow. We are debating on the cost/benefit on these. Was it worth the added cost?
Those middle 2 slabs would be a great book matched epoxy pour table top. The pair with the dark lines down the middle.
I have a customer who has already claimed them for that exact thing

I have come to that conclusion as well. Carbide blades are good for only specialty cuts.
Who makes the blade?
nice cutting looking for a blade
Timberking had the blades in a few sizes.
Lets see that carbide blade take on some locust
We can do Osage or Live Oak, they are a bit harder

Timberking has them, I have an upcoming video next week about them.

Looking forward to the next vid.
