Playing with my new sawmill accessories (Woodland Mills tooth setter and blade sharpener)

- I have finally opened the boxes and got these babies set up and put to work! In this video I take you along with me as I set up both the Woodland Mills tooth setter and the Grindlux 4000 bandsaw blade sharpener, and trial them out for the first time.
I have yet to open my sawmill. The snow stayed a long time this year, plus we were away at the off-grid property for a couple of weeks. (and searching for Scout took up a lot of time too). Now it is pouring rain everyday! 🤪
I hope to get the mill open very soon (this upcoming week), and although I don't have any major pressing things to mill right now, I do need some 2x4 type material for bracing of my cabin build, and need to mill some cedar boards as we have our little ore car hot tub project sitting in the carport now too!! 😉🤩
As always, thanks for watching and see you all again soon!
LOL! 01:00 "I'm trying to pay attention but he is so darn cute" - That's our daily struggle watching "MICHY" in your super enjoyable videos! - It's a tough assignment, but I'm prepared to make the sacrifice, and I just love your humour and creativity... and the mountain views are just outstanding along with your emerald eyes! 😍
01:00 "I'm trying to pay attention but he is so darn cute"
Now you know how we feel watching your videos. And thanks for this one, again. As suburban man I have no idea what's going on but it's fascinating. Also, agree on watching a tutorial vs reading a manual.
Hi Michygoss, love all your videos!
Here are some things I learned from a 5th generation master saw filer that I worked for.
-The gullet is where the chips get taken away after they are cut, this will get smaller as you cut the tooth back each time. It may result in less space for the wood chips as it fills, leaving no space for more chips and reduce your cutting speed as a result.
-It is natural therefore for the stone to cut it a little deeper as you sharpen but only a little at a time as grinding too fast may cause burn marks that may give way to cracks in the future.
-Over time the stone will rake over the back of each tooth as they pass by, also normal but only a grazing pass here with no heavy grinding. This will ensure that all of the teeth stay uniform in height and cut evenly. Should one tooth be higher or lower it will cut harder (or not at all), then the one next to it giving you a hit and miss feel. This may result in poor cutting, stress the blade with fatigue and cause it to break prematurely. This usually happens as a result from hitting a nail and breaking off teeth or when coming back around near the weld and the spacing change grinds off a tooth accidentally while sharpening.
-You should get on average 5 sharpenings before your blades break under normal use. With gentle use and carful sharpening I am sure you will get more.
Just passing on what I have learned, hope this helps.
Awesome! Thank you! So what do I do when each tooth is kind of being hit differently by the grinding wheel? That’s sort of what was happening - some were grinding a bit too much, and then the next one would barely (if at all) touch the tooth. That’s why I felt like I needed to babysit it and make adjustments while it was in operation.
?
@@michygoss7148 You may have figured out why that was happening, though my thoughts on that is you were hand filing before, which is not going to be as accurate as a pre-set sharpener, as you know, so while using the pre-set sharpener you will get more ground off on some teeth as needed to bring all the teeth back to a uniform height.
Put the feeder on the same tooth tht is being sharpen will make it accurate every time.
@@jimmieusaf-pol5818 ok. You might be right. I’d have to be sure that that particular blade was one that I resharpened vs one that I only used new and was put to the side. I’ll try and take a look at each blade and see if I can pick them out.
Thank you!
@@michygoss7148 You're welcome. Also band saw blades, like for your mill and the one I have in my woodshop, are cut out of large sheets of metal before the ends are welded together, and I believe the price and quality of production dictate the precision of grind and tooth set during that process, so don't believe all blades are created equal. So even a new/er cheaper blade may require more maintenance(grinding/tooth setting) initially to make it cut better.
If your blades are .042 they should be set at .021. The reason for sharpening the gullet is to remove any stress cracks that are not visible to the eye. I also like to sharpen the back of the tooth. I run a small sharpening business and I have sharpened hundreds of these blades. Good luck with your new machines.
Love your videos! Steve seems like a very supportive spouse. I hope y'all had a great road trip.
Take care!
Best move I ever made with my sawmill was to sharpen my own blades. Your sharpener should have an cam adjustment to lower the grinding stone into the gullet which does need sharpening along with the backside of the tooth. I typically sharpen a blade seven to ten times before they break. Definitely a money saver. Once you tinker with it several times you see what is needed, good luck your smart enough to figure it out. Hope your trip out of town is fruitful, looking to see what you bring back.
Watching instructional videos on google is how I setup most of my machines in my workshop, I am the same as you and prefer to watch and not read the confusing instructions. I definitely need to make my coffee stronger so i can do handstands like you. I am on double shots of coffee now so maybe need to go up and have triple shots. Looking forward to seeing the mill up and running again and seeing how well the blades are sharpened. Thanks for posting Mich see you on the next one.
You're such a goil, and yet you kick ass and take names on every project you take on. I love the way you learn and the projects you churn out! Thanks for sharing what you do, MG!
Like a boss. Never get frustrated. You got this like everything you do.
Nice handstand, and with heavy boots too!
Sawing with sandy is the best! He convinced me to get a Woodland Mills sawmill, I didn't regret it!
Sawing with Sandy is guilty of providing too many details for many in his audience. But for someone like you he should be great resource :)
Well done with the hand stand👍
I really like Sawing with Sandy. I get so excited when my TH-camr's universes collide!
One of my first jobs at an industrial tool sales was building Lenox bandsaw blades and repair none of the grinding wheels ever went to full gullet depth even the grinding wheel that smoothed the blade after welding so i think you're good Michy👍😁❤✌
Ok!! Good to know. Thanks Jim. I figured it was set up the way it should work, not to the way my brain thinks 😊
Sandy has been very helpful in my decision to buy a Woodland's sawmill.
Good work and looking lovely
Glad to see you take the kids with you that's awesome
Hi, I loved your work and especially when you understood the operation of the machine and the lack of the part. I congratulate you because it is not easy to mount such a device for the first time. I say it again, I congratulate you
Thank you!
Yes Sandy Has one of the best videos regarding sawmills but i would suggest to sharpen first before setting the tooth
I've noticed my nap time comes soon after watching one of your posts n they're more peaceful. Thanx for sharing ...
I've been fascinated from the beginning! You are so nice to watch.
Yes. Definitely fascinated with your humor.
Love the way you work to solve your problems!!!👍👏☺️
Danm girl, you only look better when I see this clip from b4. Love your looks and respect your talents.
Ok, you have done it. I am inspired. I already started making my own guitars out of found/reclaimed wood but now, after seeing your brilliant work, I want to build my own sheds, cubbbies, gates, doors, fences and castles.
😂
Your athleticism is always amazing.
well done, got that sorted.
Quite the dedication to get a tooth setter and sharpener like that. Good for you.
Impressed. Had no idea
Love how you figure things out. Enjoyable content as always.
Great job! You didn't give up and problem solved the issue.
So capable, so adorable😌
This is a nice compliment !
Enjoyed the video, and the channel. You have something that is almost lost in this world. GOOD common sense. thanks for allowing us on you and Steve's journey, from SE Texas Bear :)
One very smart lady.
I'm very impressed with your ability of mechanical aptitude. Most women would not attempt what you are doing and good luck
I have to say I have rarely done anything besides watch music videos on you tube. I stumbled on your channel yesterday and now I feel like I have waisted alot of time by directing my attention to music videos only. Much thanks for the great videos as I have watched 6 this far and look forward to many more. 😊
Hello, thank you for a real life demo- I will be putting my sharpener together in a month or so so this gives me areas to pay attention to.
Классное приобретение. Заточка ленточки 👍👍👍
Love that you watch sawing with sandy too!
Great video Michelle. 👍👍
Y A , great promise for more builds coming up, pref @ nice n chill, kudos to you ppl, n thx for sharing
That is a wonderful contraption.
More great info! Thanks for wearing the safety glasses.. by the way..You ROCK!!
I love to watch and learn about tools I never new about. I actually wondered if that was a bear your dog was barking at 😲🐻. Impressive handstand 🤸♀️👌🏻, you big fit liar 😂
Verry facinated, but you work it out.! 👌
Wow that's a huge house 😮😮😮
I used to make and sharpen band saw blades for Western Australian high schools and make a bit of money on the side for our woodwork classes. This was before the days of hardened tips. Blades came in 100 metre boxes and when joining, we have to make sure we have an even number of teeth (matching the set) so the set doesent reverse every time around and break off the teeth. Our machine was motorised but did the same job you are doing but on much smaller teeth. We had a second machine that fed and filed the teeth using a three corner file at the rate of about 1 per second and we let the blade go around about three times. We used to lap and silver solder the blades with a clamp that snapped down and quenched the joint but we upgraded to an electric butt welding machine. That did the welding, grinding and tempering of the joint.
I'm ready for the sailboat ⛵⛵
Its the sigh of relief, after getting the blade advancer working.
Yes, Sawing with Sandy!! My 2 favourite Canadian saw millers in one video :))))
Love your videos
All the videos that I’ve watched of you, and all the hard work you do, how do you stay so beautiful through the whole thing? You are an amazing woman. Keep up the great work.
Thank you this made my morning pleasent!
Video was awesome and always nice to learn new things about new tools right much love from Portland Indiana
Odd i get destracted watching your videos like you did lol. Great content
bonjour Michelle. the learning curve is quite a "grind !" you'll be able to dial in at sometime. enjoy the good weather in British Columbia and in Alberta. what a beautiful landscape. Alberta is always a magical place.
I'm still saving to get the sharpener and setter, you figured that thing out like a pro. I like to watch Sandy also. Can't wait to see how the blade works. Thanks for the video
Great video
Lady you rock. You are great
Doing well it's your first go & it might loosen up with use 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a hm126 also and love milling my own wood. Sawing with sandy is a great channel and have learned alot from him. Can't wait to see you mill up some wood for the cabin build.
A cam nut! Yes that's what is! glad you figured it out so you can sharpen your blades. :)
When in doubt always ask Sandy. He's like the spokes person for woodland Mills. By the way, you can call them. They are actually quite nice to talk to.
I have spoken with them in the past, and yes - they are great! But I feel like they’re trying to reduce the call volume and get you to email your question instead. 🤷🏻♀️
Hi, you are absolutely gorgeous and an inspiration to many! Keep posting your blog
Lots of technical fun! Love that stuff! Leave us with a mystery for next time, heh? Got me wondering! lol
Your troubleshooting skills are impressive.
Your husband is One of the luckiest men on the planet, you ooze, breathe and completely make life worth living 😎🤘❤️
Absolutely fascinating
Hi Gossi, you’re intuition is amazingly beautiful, good work, your a real trooper keep on keeping on, Hamilton Waikato New Zealand.
Your determination to figure things out is so amazing. Super proud you got that camwheel figured out. I assembled my sharpener about 2 months ago, and what you ended up with on your adjustments seems spot on. I am not sold on the tooth setter. I think for the time and money spent for what you actually end up with is not worth saving over buying a new blade when the teeth go bad. Blades really are not that expensive. I know you will enjoy the sharpener though. Nice work. Oh, and I'm glad Im not the only one that watches TH-cam for the eye candy...!!!
Ya there’s a few cheap homemade tooth setters on eBay (like $20-30), so I almost feel the same way. Not convinced it does much, but again, it’s not my profession, so just my opinion. Oh well. I look cool having all the fancy equipment! 🤭
Very good video 👍 👍
When I saw the title of the video, I thought about suggesting Sawing with Sandy but that came up real fast. I have not seen how you used to sharpen the blades before, but you may have taken more or less with different teeth. Hopefully, this automatic sharpener will eventually get all of the teeth the same. Have good days!
That top nob on the blade grinder adjusts how deep your grinding wheel goes. Back it off a little bit. I have the same sharpener, it struggles like yours. Thumbs up for the handstand..... lol.
Nice to see you have a couple of toys to play with, As with all new gadgets it's a case of getting use to them and learning how to set them up each time, Good handstand
I believe you are very smart, and enjoy watching you work through problems as you figure things out! I couldn't really see Josh in the video you were watching to tell his age, but if I didn't know better I would think you could pass for mid thirties...and you are darn cute too. :o) I am so thankful you have the dogs around to alert you of bears roaming around and scare them off, since that sure could turn dangerous in a hurry. I personally wouldn't have anything less than a .44 magnum in a holster on my hip, anytime I was outside around your two properties, since it's better to have it and never use it than to need it and not have it. You might be surprised by the little adjustments the tooth setter is making the next time you are milling, by much smoother cuts. Y'all stay safe, happy and healthy!
Yeah, Josh and I are probably close in age (much closer than Steve and I), so the joke was really meant to point out the age gap between Steve and I 🤭
10:40 "Eletricity scares me."
Me too, and it's my job!
I was just down to the office and showroom (35 mins from my house) to pick up my new PTO stump grinder, and I almost grabbed 1 each of these that were sitting in the showroom. now I'm wishing I really had. I watched sandy sharpening his and it look so slick. I feel like after watching you I have learned much more. I have a Norwood sawmill (also only about 30 mins from my house) and I assure you that Woodland mills customer service is by far better, but then, maybe I'm just used to bad Norwood is. Like every tool the more time you spend on the set up the better the outcome in the end. Patience is always important, you seem to have it in spades.
Nice work getting the tools setup. Plus you get extra points for handstands while you work!
I see below that you have real experts giving advice, so I won't even try. What I will say is that Steve must be hugely proud of his soul mate for her agility and ingenuity!! :)
SMART AS A WHIP
Smart silly and humorous are great qualities
You amaze me Michelle!
so cool to learn about the bandsaw mill I only have experience with circular saw the Lucas swing blade is the mill I have but just ordered the hm 130 max and kinda excited for it to get here lol. seems to me you mostly got it figured out
Fun to watch you build stuff, just started my TH-cam channel. And you have helped me get the inspiration to do so!. Thanks. Sending love from 🇨🇦
Always something new about you! One minute sharpening saw blades, the next busting out a perfect handstand legs together and straight, held for 5 seconds or more shows training as a gymnast.
New holiday is unboxing day.
The passenger in the middle looks highly intelligent and regal.
Interesting to see how the sharpened blades work on the saw .
With all the talents between you and Steve I’m surprised that you were going to buy a camper. I see you as someone that would purchase a gently used bluebird school bus, gutting it over the winter and building your own motor home. I was thankful to see your use of hearing and eye protection; safety is a detail often overlooked until it’s too late.
The bear was probably interested in sharpening its claws or looking for a pedicure.
Wishing you, Steve and your furry kids a blessed week with gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace princess.
I would love to do that, but both of our plates are jam packed. Still haven’t picked a rig yet, but you can be sure that whatever we do end up getting, I will most certainly put some michy touches into it 😁
@@michygoss7148 I understand completely. Please remember to take time for your self and yourself. Peace princess.
I bought both of them next year and have reworked my 10 blades. Great tools for the price. Shipping blades to be reworked is crazy expensive now. And who knows what the future may bring.
You fixed it 🤜🏻
Every time I watch you I'm more impressed, you nailed it with that set screw on the cam forwarder, you have a very mechanically adept mind no wonder you do so much cool shit you're awesome, yup a genius 🥰
Sawing with Sandy is someone I follow as well he provides good content.
Enjoy your road trip....cheers.
The high lite of my day
Hello Michelle, is their anything you can't do? Handstands, build anything, dips in the lake. You can do it all. AND very pleasing to the eyes. Love your vids. You're adorable.
Peace and love, Tim
Electricity Tim. Electricity. 😂 I’d kill myself! 🤭
@@michygoss7148 I bet you could handle it. You're already "Electrifying". 😘
I’ll bet you could hear me cheering you on with that cam.
handstand… bravo
I like your channel. You are a good inspiration for other women. Even women can do technical stuff. Normally, they ask their husbands, friends to do the job !
