So, the last couple of days has included mostly edging boards or sawing small logs. The interesting things is that this mill, the Hud-Son Oscar 228, edges just fine and cuts up small lumber just fine.
But, i'm still having issues with cutting "real" logs. What i've been noticing is that the wider the logs, the worse the cut. The mill starts a noticeable laboring process when the blade path is greater than 5 to 6 inches of cut. With edging this is not an issue as the cut is usually only 3 or 4 boards, which is 4 x 1.25" or 5".
However, throwing a 28" log on the mill, which it's "supposed" to handle, has yielded less than the best results. The wide cuts are wavy, which results in lost lumber. Getting down to 3x3 yields some usable lumber, but still not as straight as what you would expect. Certainly not as straight as from the mill that has a frame designed for work.
I'm really starting to think that i was a little mislead on what this mill can do. It just feels like a light weight hobby machine that is not capable of cutting good lumber, but more of a tinker toy for the hobbiest to play with, work on, and eventually get a board out of.
To be honest, being told this machine can cut 1000bdft a day "feels" like false advertisement. It would more honesty be 100bdft per day. :-(
What to do, what to do.
