<div class="MsoNormal">
What is the best portable sawmill? Well, that depends on what you want to do
with the portable sawmill in question.
The best portable sawmill for you might be manual or hydraulic, for
example.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Manual:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A manual portable sawmill can be operated alone or with a
partner. Many manual mills can be pulled
apart easily and brought to a different job site every time. So, a manual mill is a good choice if you are
a part-time sawyer or simply looking to help friends and family members with
projects by cutting some lumber for them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hydraulic:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A hydraulic portable sawmill is usually used for larger or
more consistent jobs. So, if you are a
full-time sawyer who wants to cut logs as quickly as possible, you should
invest in a hydraulic mill. However, you
should be aware that most hydraulic mills are usually not transported. So, despite the name, you may want to bring
the lumber to the mill, rather than bringing the portable sawmill to the
lumber.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reputation:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The type of sawmill is not the only important factor. Reputation is also a major thing to
consider. A company that has been in
business for a long time is likely to offer higher quality equipment. One such company is Cook's Saw. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Using portable sawmills can be complicated, especially if
you are upgrading from one model to another.
No two are exactly alike, after all.
So, let's look at some things that can make using your portable sawmill
easier.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hydraulics:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, you really should invest in a hydraulic portable
sawmill. Hydraulics tend to make things
go faster and more smoothly. So, a
hydraulic mill can allow you to cut more board feet per hour than a manual mill
would allow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A Log Lifter:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are going to buy a hydraulic mill, look for one with
a hydraulic log lifter. Otherwise, you
will need a lot of man power to lift those logs onto your portable
sawmill. That will take more time and
effort than you probably want to spend.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Easy Controls:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No matter what sort of portable sawmill you choose, look for
one with easy to understand controls.
Many of the fully hydraulic models only require a push of a button to
select the right options. After that
almost the entire process is automatic.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sturdiness:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A small manual portable sawmill is built mainly for
movement, not strength. It can handle
small logs and it can be taken to different sites easily. However, it is not going to have a lot of
power and toughness. A hydraulic mill is
going to be much sturdier, but a bit less portable. So, you have to decide which traits you value
more.<o:p></o:p></div>

not always easy. After all, there are a
lot of factors to consider. Luckily,
there are some quick tips that can help.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Trust The Company:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you're choosing a portable sawmill, it's best to choose
a company that you can trust. A company
that is well-known for quality products and great customer service is more
likely to supply you with a great sawmill.
One example of such a company is Cook's Saw. They have been a sawmilling industry leader
for years.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trust The Portable Sawmill Itself:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You should also trust the portable sawmill itself. It's best not to buy a model that is too old
because the technology and construction might be outdated. On the other hand, buying the latest model
may not be good either. It's usually
best to buy a relatively new model, but one that has an established good
reputation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Look For The Right Features:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Each portable sawmill has its own unique features. It's important to select the features that
you like. Some examples include:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;">

Proper Lubrication System<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Size and capacity are also important features. Make sure that the lumber you plan to saw
will fit properly on your chosen sawmill.
Over-sized lumber will require a large mill.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

your business?

increase your profits, what can you do?
Well, one thing you can do is increase the types of wood that you
process. For example, depending on the
area you live in, you could start utilizing driftwood and downed trees. It's amazing the things you could create out
of wood that has been cast away. Not
only that, but it can often be acquired for free, or at least cheaply.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Of course, it takes a special sort of portable sawmill
to be able to process various pieces of cast away wood, especially if that wood
has knots, nails or other issues. That's
why you'll need a heavy duty portable sawmill designed for the job. One such portable sawmill is the AC36 from
Cook's Saw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">The great thing about the AC36 is that it can help you
to increase your profits in other ways, too.
For example, you will be able to take the sawmill right to the lumber
supply, if need be. Also, the Cook's Saw
AC36 utilizes extra thin, extra flat blades called Cook's Super Sharp
blades. Those blades are durable and
tough. So, they don't need to be
replaced as often as other blades. They
also have the power to cut through even the most unruly pieces of lumber.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

aren't alone. More and more people are
getting into the portable sawmill industry lately. After all, portable sawmills can be a great
source of income.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, not all portable sawmills are alike. In fact, many of them can come with their
share of problems. Here are a couple of
common problems and how to avoid them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bed Can't Support The Lumber:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's important to make sure that your chosen portable
sawmill can support the weight of your chosen logs. Some logs can weight 10,000 pounds or
more. Clearly, a small portable sawmill
won't be able to handle such a load.
Instead, you should get a larger, more heavy-duty mill.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, the physical size of the portable sawmill isn't a
guarantee that it can hold the logs. You
have to make sure that the bed, the log turner and the log lift are all
constructed properly. Fully hydraulic
portable sawmills, for example, are strong, efficient and easy to use.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Blades Keep Slipping Out Of The Cut:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another common portable sawmill problem is that the blades
may be slipping out of the cut. For
example, if you have a portable sawmill with a canti-lever design, you may find
that the head of the mill is not stable enough.
It may be easy to shake. Also,
one side will be constantly running behind the other. That leads to improper or slower cuts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The best way to avoid that problem is to get a portable
sawmill that has a 4-post head design.
The 4-posts work as a framework to create stability and keep the blade
moving smoothly and in a straight line.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many things that you have to consider when you are
picking a portable sawmill. For example,
you might want to get a small, medium or large portable sawmill, based on your
needs. You also might want to get a
fully hydraulic portable sawmill for ease of use. However, while you're considering all of the
features of each sawmill, you should also be considering reputation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reputation Of The Portable Sawmill Itself:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reputation of the portable sawmill itself is
important. How new is the model? How popular is it? Has it had good reviews? Those are all important questions to answer
before you buy a certain portable sawmill model.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reputation Of The Company:<br />
<br />
The reputation of the company is also important. For example, Cook's Saw has been in the
business for years. The folks at Cook's
are well-known for being innovative industry leaders. In fact, the Cook's Super Sharp blades are
widely accepted as the best portable sawmill blades on the market.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Other companies that aren't as well-established may not
offer the top technology. So, you should
be careful to only buy from and work with knowledgeable sawyers, and sawmill
supply companies, such as Cook's Saw.
That way you can be guaranteed to have great equipment, accessories and
customer support.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, there are other things that you have to think
about when you are buying a portable sawmill.
After all, it is a huge investment.

In fact, companies like Cook's Saw have been
developing powerful portable sawmills for years. However, not every sawmill works for every
sawyer. So, if you're looking to buy
one, you should consider your professional needs.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Start by determining how much lumber you want to cut. If you own a small family operation or only
have a couple of employees, a small or medium-sized portable sawmill will do
nicely. If, on the other hand, you have
a large operation, you may need a larger, more heavy-duty portable sawmill.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You also have to consider the portability of the
sawmill. Are you going to be able to to
transport a large sawmill to the lumber, or will you be mainly bringing the
lumber to the mill? Be sure to buy a
portable sawmill that you are capable of transporting, if you plan to bring the
mill to the lumber.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next, consider the type of lumber that you will be
cutting. Will you be dealing mainly with
harder woods or softer woods? Will you
be cutting small logs or large logs?
Will you be dealing with straight logs, bent or knotted logs or logs or
logs with other sorts of issues? The
larger, more heavy-duty portable sawmills are better equipped to handle over
sided or problematic lumber cutting.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">So, as you can see, there
is a lot to think about when you are choosing a portable sawmill. Do you want to learn how to simplify the
process? If so, visit <a href="http://www.cookssaw.com/">www.cookssaw.com</a> to browse through a great

the importance of keeping up with certain new advancements in portable sawmill
designs. After all, not all portable
sawmills are alike. So, you need to be familiar
with their functions and features, especially if you are interested in buying
one for the first time or adding a new one to your operation.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hydraulics:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hydraulics are the best features to look for in portable
sawmills. Hydraulic power makes sawmills
strong and efficient. It also reduces
the amount of work that the sawyers have to do.
The fact that hydraulic portable sawmills are capable of high-speed
efficiency makes them the perfect choice for anyone who runs a lumber
operation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In fact, a hydraulic log lift is practically an
indispensable tool in a sawyer's arsenal.
The hydraulic log lift is capable of lifting logs that weigh thousands
of pounds, which certainly cuts back on the amount of time and man power
required.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Log Turners:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Log turners are also important components of great portable
sawmills. A sturdy, mechanical log
turner is essential because giant, heavy logs with one side sawn are difficult,
if not impossible, to turn by hand. It
would take far too much time and far too many strong men to be worth the
effort.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many portable sawmills also feature other great options,
such as board drag back systems and lubrication systems. Do you want to know more about all of the

for several years now, but they haven't remained exactly the same. Companies like Cook's Saw are constantly on
the lookout for new and wonderful sawmilling innovations and inventions. That's why Cook's Saw is solidified as one of
the great portable sawmilling sources.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Way back in the 1980's Cook's Saw
recognized that band saws were evolving.
Many band saws were starting to use Kerf blades to cut back on sawdust
and improve efficiency. So, the owners
of Cook's Saw took it upon themselves to design and build a sawmill that could
turn and cut 36" diameter logs using Kerf blades. Little did they know what an innovation that
would be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As the years passed, Cook's Saw came
up with even more inventions to help portable sawmills work faster and more
efficiently. The chain log turner and
the board drag back are two of the innovations that really changed the portable
sawmill industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">These days Cook's Saw's innovations
include "Super Sharp" blades made of silicone, magnesium and
chromium. Blades are still thin and
efficient and they last even longer than the old styles. That means more profits for professional
sawyers because the blades don't need to be replaced as often.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As the years have gone by, Cook's Saw
has continued to bring the latest and greatest in portable sawmilling
inventions and innovations. Not only
that, but the company shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. So, do you want to get in on the profitable
portable sawmill business? If so, click

As a portable sawmill owner or a person who wants to get into the portable sawmill business, you may have heard a lot about different types of bandsaw blades. One of the phrases being bandied about a lot in the world of bandsaw blades is “tooth face”. What is a tooth face and why is it important.<br />
<br />
A tooth face is, to put it simply, the leading edge of a bandsaw blade tooth. It's the part of the blade tooth that actually slices into the lumber. That makes it one of the absolute most important bandsaw blade components.<br />
<br />
The tooth face needs to be sharp, if you want the lumber to get cut properly and quickly. That's why it's a good idea to invest in a blade sharpener and use it to keep your blades operating in top condition. The easiest way to tell if a blade tooth needs to be sharpened is that dull tooth faces will have shiny spots.<br />
<br />
Just be sure that you are primarily sharpening the tooth faces, not the gullets. The gullets are the valleys between each pair of teeth on the blade. Over-sharpening the gullets can wear out a portable sawmill blade prematurely. Since gullets aren't responsible for the actual cutting, they don't tend to wear down anywhere near as fast as tooth faces.<br />
<br />
Once your tooth faces are properly sharpened, don't stop there. There are a lot of other things that you can do to ensure that your blades are working as well as possible. Would you like to learn what those things are? If so, visit <a href="http://www.cookssaw.com/">www.cookssaw.com</a> to learn more about keeping your blades sharp.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990664992125899888.post-390933729998924832012-10-02T07:12:00.000-07:002012-10-02T07:12:00.778-07:00Is A Portable Sawmill Really Portable?Is a portable sawmill really portable? Well, that all depends on what type and size
you buy. Honestly, anything can be
portable, if you have the right vehicle and trailer with which to haul it. However, some portable sawmills are
definitely easier to use than others.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The smallest portable sawmills can often be easily towed by
a pickup truck. That is, of course, if
you have the right type of hauling trailer.
Luckily, many portable sawmills are sold along with the proper hauling
trailers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In fact, some models can even be taken apart. Their parts can be put in the bed of the
truck and driven to anyplace that the pickup truck can go. That eliminates the need for a trailer. Of course, it will be up to you to reassemble
the portable sawmill at your destination and pull it apart again when the job
is done.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Larger portable sawmills are not as easy to haul. So, you may be a bit limited, as far as where
you can take them. However, what they
lack in portability they make up for in speed, strength and durability.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you plan to bring most of the wood to the sawmill, a
larger model might be perfect for you.
Many of them are fully hydraulic.
Some even come with hydraulic log lifters. In fact, all of the best production portable
sawmills are larger, more heavy duty models.<o:p></o:p></div>

As a sawyer, you probably already know that the right blades are essential, if you want your portable sawmill to run efficiently. There are a lot of factors that go into picking the perfect portable sawmill blades. So, it's not a decision that should be made quickly.<br />
<br />
Flexibility:<br />
<br />
Flexibility is one of the biggest factors to consider when you are picking a bandsaw blade. You might not think of a large, heavy, metal blade as being flexible, but many bandsaw blades are flexible at a molecular level. Their molecules can contract and expand thousands of times in order to create those perfect cuts. <br />
<br />
The ratio of each type of metal in a bandsaw blade determines how flexible it will be. The more flexible a blade is, the more likely it is to last for a while. Of course, that also depends on how sharp you keep it and what type of lumber you are cutting.<br />
<br />
Rigidity:<br />
<br />
For heavy-duty jobs, you may require a bandsaw blade that is more rigid. Rigid blades are sometimes stronger. However, their lack of flexibility means that they will probably break and need replacing more often than their more flexible counterparts. So, you might have to pay more in the long run.<br />
<br />
There's something to be said for both rigid and flexible portable sawmill blades. That's why the folks at Cook's Saw have created several different types of blades, including the Cook’s DuraTooth™ and SilvaChrome™ blades. So, would you like to learn some other factors that can help you pick the perfect blade? If so, visit <a href="http://www.cookssaw.com/">www.cookssaw.com</a> today.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990664992125899888.post-41422908534674242132012-09-18T12:29:00.000-07:002012-09-18T12:29:00.309-07:00Understanding Portable Sawmill Blade Teeth Terminology<br />
If you happen to be new in the lumber industry, don't worry. A good portable sawmill and the right blades to go along with it can take you a long way. However, it's very important that you understand how to care for your blades.<br />
<br />
For example, do you know what the gullet of a blade is? Simply put, it's the empty space between each of the blade's teeth. Those little valleys are what helps the sawdust to move out of the cut so that the blade can just keep on going, like a hot knife through butter.<br />
<br />
It's also important to understand the hook angle and the tooth pitch of each blade. The hook angle is the angle at which the blade cuts into the lumber. An acceptable range is 8 to 10 degrees. Too far beyond either end of that and you'll bend and break your blades.<br />
<br />
The number of teeth on every blade, known as tooth pitch or tooth spacing, and the tooth face are also important. More or less teeth can influence your cut and so can a tooth face (leading tooth edge) that isn't sharp.<br />
<br />
All of those things can create problems in their own ways. That's why it's important to sharpen your portable sawmill blades regularly and buy the right blades for the job at hand. Would you like to learn more about how to make the perfect blade choices for your portable sawmill business? If so, just visit <a href="http://www.cookssaw.com/">www.cookssaw.com</a> for some more great tips.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990664992125899888.post-36836868589675513962012-09-12T08:28:00.000-07:002012-09-12T08:28:00.270-07:00Choosing Portable Sawmill Blade Bodies<br />
If you own a portable sawmill and you are having trouble with your blades, it may be time to get new ones. There are a lot of different bandsaw blades to choose from and they each have different features. So, the best way to start is to determine what sort of cutting you'll be doing and get a blade that has an appropriate body.<br />
<br />
The molecules in a portable sawmill blade are made up of different metals, including chromium, silicon and magnesium. The ratio of those metals determines how rigid or flexible the bandsaw blade itself is. As the saw needs to flex, the molecules can contract and expand accordingly, at least in a flexible blade. In fact, that blade can endure that process thousands of times. Although, it will still wear out eventually.<br />
<br />
In general, it's best to have a blade that is at least somewhat flexible. That way it can easily “bounce back” and will be less likely to snap or break. However, there are some situations where you might want a more rigid blade. It depends on your personal preference and the types of lumber that you will be sawing.<br />
<br />
The important thing to remember about a rigid blade is that it will break more quickly than a more flexible one. So, you need to factor that into your budget and your decision making process.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
If you own a small portable sawmill, you know that it can be
good for a lot of things. It can help
you to get rid of small logs on your property and even turn small or medium
sized logs on your neighbors' properties into useable boards. In fact, it is ideal for creating inexpensive
lumber to use in a lot of small weekend projects.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As you may have noticed, though, a small portable sawmill
can't do everything. That's why you may
be thinking of upgrading to a larger model. In fact, that's exactly how a lot of lumber
businesses start. First it is a hobby,
then a part-time business and before you know it you are quitting your day job
to be a full-time sawyer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the time comes to make that transition, you will have a
lot of possible upgrade options. The
best option is to look into a fully hydraulic portable sawmill, if you have the
budget for it. Once you have a large
hydraulic bandsaw mill, you won't need to upgrade again for quite a long time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You see, hydraulic portable sawmills are built to be tough
and sturdy. They are meant to last for a
long time and to do anything that you could possibly want them to do. They can hold huge logs and work at high
speeds. Many of them also have buttons
and switches that make the entire process of lumber cutting much easier for
you, the sawyer.<o:p></o:p></div>

portable sawmill business, you should definitely invest in equipment from
Cook's Saw. At least, that's what sawyer
Ray Lockhart of Virginia and many other sawyers say. Ray started out using Cook's band saw blades
in a different mill, but he quickly upgraded to a Cook's hydraulic AC-3651D
mill and has never looked back.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ray is quick to tell anyone who will listen that
Cook's Saw has excellent customer support.
However, it's the equipment that really makes Cook's a winner. They have been leaders in the sawmilling
industry for years and it shows in their equipment. Ray is particularly fond of the heavy duty
log turner that came with his portable sawmill and the hydraulics that make
cutting lumber a breeze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
When Ray bought his AC-3651D hydraulic portable sawmill he also invested in
sharpening tools from Cook's. Cook's
blades are known for being the strongest and best in the business, but all
blades need to be sharpened sometimes.
Not only are Cook's portable sawmills built to last, but their
sharpeners, edgers and other pieces of equipment are the best. They helped Ray to embark on a career in the
portable sawmill business and they can help you, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">So, do you want to embark on a career as a
sawyer, just like Ray did? If so, give
yourself the best chance at success.
Invest in the best portable sawmill equipment and make sure that you
have the best customer support possible.

machinist. He also happens to work four
days a week for 10 hours a day at a paper mill near his home in Virginia. You would think that Ray would relax on the
weekends, but he doesn't. Instead, he
turns to his new favorite hobby, which happens to be a portable sawmill
business.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">When he began sawmilling, Ray simply wanted to
build a new log home for his wife and children.
After doing a lot of research, he thought that the best and cheapest way
would be to cut the lumber himself. So,
he invested in a portable sawmill and got to work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">These days, as friends and neighbors have learned
of Ray's accomplishment and as they found out that he owned a portable sawmill,
they have helped him to build up quite the side business. He works two days a week at his lumber
business and still maintains his full time job at the paper mill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
As his hobby has grown into a side business, Ray has had to adapt a bit. Part of that adaptation has involved buying a
AC-3651D hydraulic portable sawmill from Cook's Saw. His old sawmill simply wasn't meant to do the
jobs that he currently has. “I compared
Cook’s sawmill to some others I looked at, and I decided to buy a new sawmill
from Cook’s because I was so satisfied with their blades over the years and
because they were very knowledgeable.” said Ray.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

Like most sawyers these days, Ray uses a
portable sawmill. In fact, he uses a
hydraulic portable sawmill from Cook's Saw, called the AC-3651D. Every day Ray is taking advantage of some
fabulous portable sawmill features.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
For one thing, after several failed attempts at using other blades, Ray learned
that Cook's Super Sharp blades are the best.
“They sawed straighter. The other blades would dip and dive, so they
wouldn’t saw true.” Ray says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">When Ray bought his Cook's AC-3651D it also came
with a blade sharpener and an edger, in a package deal. Ray has found that, not only are Cook's
blades better, but sharpening them can keep them working well for even
longer. So, it's a real money saver.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Another thing that Ray loves about his portable
sawmill is that it's all hydraulic. The
hydraulic lift and easy to use mechanisms make sawing lumber as simple as can
be. In fact, his sawmill even has a
heavy duty log turner. It keeps things
moving smoothly and ensures the best possible cuts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">It's clear that Ray is taking full advantage of
his Cook's sawmill. Many other sawyers
are doing the same with their portable sawmills from Cook's Saw. So, wouldn't you like to be taking advantage
of fabulous portable sawmill features too?

<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">Determining which portable sawmill is
right for you is not always easy.</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">Yet,
there are some key considerations that can help.</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">For example, start by deciding whether you
want to be a full-time or part-time sawyer.</span><span style="color: #333333;">
</span><span style="color: #333333;">If you only plan to do an occasional project, a manual sawmill might be
best.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">On the other hand, being a full-time
sawyer is going to require a full-time sort of sawmill. Larger models with hydraulic power might be a
better choice. After all, they are meant
to be both tough and fast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">Budget is another thing to think
about. A manual sawmill might cost
around $10,000. A hydraulic one might be
3 or 4 times that cost or more. Yet, the
investment may be worth it, if you intend to turn it into a full-time business.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">You also need to consider log
location. Large, hydraulic mills are not
necessarily as portable as some people might think. You might find it easier to bring the logs to
the mill. Although, you can transport
even the largest of portable sawmills, if you have the right trailers and
equipment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">A smaller portable sawmill is
actually much more portable. So, it
might be the best choice for you, if you intend to bring the mill to the logs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>

portable sawmill business to be a success, you have to have certain key pieces
of equipment. Just ask Alvin King, who
owns a sawmill business in Indiana. His
business has grown by leaps and bounds since he purchased certain pieces of
equipment from Cook's Saw.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">When Alvin began
his business he was using a manual mill.
However, he quickly realized that he would need machinery capable of
cutting larger lumber at a faster pace, if he wanted to expand his
business. That's why he purchased a
hydraulic sawmill from Cook's Saw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Using the
hydraulic sawmill, Alvin was quickly able to cut logs that were 20' long and
36” in diameter with no problems at all.
Well, he had no problems except one.
That problem was that Alvin's band saw blades kept breaking far too
quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">It was that
problem that caused Alvin to invest in blade sharpening tools from Cook's
Saw. Using the sharpener, as well as
blade flattening equipment from Cook's, Alvin has increased the life span of
his blades.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Alvin also owns a
Cook's resaw and a Cook's edger and he wouldn't trade them for the world. In fact, he loves Cook's equipment because
each piece is built to be tough and to last for a long time, as well as to do
the job at hand as quickly as possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

probably know that sawmilling can be a lucrative business. There are a lot of sawmills that you could
choose from. However, there are several
perks that are specific to buying a hydraulic portable sawmill from Cook's Saw.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">One interesting thing about portable sawmills is
that you can use them to cut down costs on your own personal projects. For example, a sawyer by the name of Ray Lockhart
started a portable sawmill business in his Virginia town only after using the
portable sawmill to build his very own custom log home. He saved thousands of dollars by doing the
lumber work himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you plan to use your sawmill to start a business
or improve your existing lumber business, you really should get a portable
sawmill. That's because another perk is
that portable sawmills can go almost anywhere.
You can bring them straight to the logs and, therefore, cut back on both
time and money spent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">A hydraulic portable sawmill from Cook's also has
other perks. For example, the hydraulic
lift can easily help you to get logs into the mill with little effort. Also, the sturdy construction will help you
to get straighter cuts and be more efficient in your business.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Do you want to make your lumber business the best
it can be? If so, you really need a
portable sawmill to help you do the job.

benefits to creating an environmentally sound portable sawmill business and
those benefits aren't just for the environment.
It can also benefit your bank account to employ environmentally sound
practices at your lumber mill. In fact,
if you go about the process properly, you can save not just the environment,
but also time, money and trouble.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">For example, it's
more environmentally sound to sharpen, flatten and set your band saw blades
several times before you actually replace them.
That way, you won't be wasteful.
The added benefit is that you won't have to spend as much money on
replacement blades as you would if you didn't bother sharpening, flattening and
setting them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">There are two
ways to go about the sharpening process.
One way is to send your blades to someone else to have them
sharpened. Another is to simply do the
sharpening, flattening and setting in-house.
Alvin King is an expert sawyer and he gets all of his in-house
sharpening tools from Cook's Saw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Another way that
sawyers are saving money and being environmentally friendly is by knowing their
limitations. For example, Alvin King
often resells lumber that he cannot cut himself. That minimizes wasted lumber and brings in
more profits for Mr. King.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">As you can see,
there are a lot of ways to be both profitable and environmentally friendly in
the portable sawmill industry. Those are
just a few examples. Would you like to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Ray Lockhart is in the paper mill industry. In fact, he is an accomplished
machinist. So, when he and his wife
wanted to build a log home, it was logical to Ray that he should do it
himself. That's why he got himself a
portable sawmill and soon got to work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">It took several years for Ray and his wife to
build their home, but cutting the lumber themselves saved them a lot of
money. It also allowed them to fully
customize their home, rather than just buying a log home kit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Building his own home would have been enough for
Ray, but it wasn't enough for his friends and neighbors. They found out that Ray had a portable
sawmill and they soon started giving him all sorts of part-time lumber cutting
jobs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Within a very short time, Ray found that he could
operate his portable sawmill two days a week and make a great supplemental
income. In fact, he quickly bought a new
Cook's portable sawmill, sharpener, edger and blades and started his own
business. Now, Ray works at the paper
mill 4 days a week and only runs the sawmill on the weekend. The supplemental income is great because Ray
has a wife and 5 daughters to support, but what Ray really likes is the smell
of the sawdust and the pleasure that being a sawyer brings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Would you like to experience that pleasure like
Ray?

In no time at all you will be enjoying the
great outdoors and making an excellent extra income in the process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990664992125899888.post-29400289531493329692012-07-06T09:35:00.000-07:002012-07-06T09:35:00.786-07:00Portable Sawmill Projects<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">If you are the type of person that
likes to do a lot of home improvement projects, you may want to get a small
portable sawmill.</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">After all, there are
hundreds, if not thousands, of portable sawmill projects that you will enjoy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">For example, let's say that you want
a new tool shed. However, maybe buying a
pre-built shed is too expensive. Even if
it is within your budget, what do you do if you can't find the style that you
want? Well, if you had a portable sawmill,
you could build your own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">If you are even more industrious than
that, you could use a portable sawmill to cut your own lumber to build a
deck. Just imagine sitting on your new
deck watching the sun go down at night.
By cutting your own lumber that dream is definitely achievable, even on
the tightest of budgets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">A third thing that you can do with a
portable sawmill is clear some property.
It's a great way to get rid of any trees that you don't want. You can clear any logs that fell after the
last storm or clear a designated area to build a house, put in a pool or do
whatever else you want. The
possibilities are limitless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="color: #333333;">Just remember that not all portable
sawmill projects are created equal. If
you intend to do projects every day, use giant logs or go into business, you
may need a large portable sawmill. Do
you want to learn more about the differences between the small and large models
before you decide? If so, just visit </span><a href="http://www.cookssaw.com/">www.cookssaw.com</a><span style="color: #333333;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990664992125899888.post-8314859658345962552012-07-03T08:07:00.000-07:002012-07-03T08:07:00.136-07:00Economical Ways To Reduce Portable Sawmill Costs<span style="font-size: 14pt;">As we all know,
the economy isn't doing well right now.
However, that doesn't mean that you have to give up on your business,
especially if you happen to be in the portable sawmill industry. All you have to do is learn some economical
ways to reduce your portable sawmill costs.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">One such way is
to cut more than just pallet stock. The
more types of cuts and the bigger the logs you can cut, the better off you will
be. That's why you may want to invest in
a heavy duty portable sawmill, such as the ones made by Cook's Saw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Another way to
cut costs and raise portable sawmill profits is to reuse your blades. In fact, Alvin King of Rochville, Indiana and
many other sawyers like him have learned the value of having blades sharpened,
flattened and set several times, rather than just replacing them immediately.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Alvin understands
that value so much that he now sharpens his own blades on site. That prevents him from having to spend extra
money replacing blades. So, he is able
to pocket more profits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Alvin also
understands the economic state of the lumber market at all times. For example, he resells certain lumber to
other parties, rather than cutting it himself, which brings in even more
profit, some of which is put towards improving his portable sawmill operation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
