BRK #346
More sawmill action and troubleshooting on a Friday.
Ryan continued to mill 3/8" planks, with
Shai as the assistant.
They wrapped-up with quite a nice slab. Kinda-sorta salivating over the possibilities for how we can use it...
We discovered that when the blade is vertical, sometimes the water (the coolant) doesn't pour onto the blade - either
enough, or at all. We checked the blade in both positions, then made some minute adjustments to the position of the tiny hose that squirts out water. Now it's working properly, whether the blade is horizontal or vertical.
Here's the blade as it's oriented vertically:
Here's the blade while it's oriented horizontally (didn't have a problem with coolant in this position, but wanted to include it here for clarity).
Meanwhile:
Farewell, Ryan! Thanks for being here. The week went by too fast, but I hope you enjoyed your time here. Have a safe, boring trip back home.
That's all for now. Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day...!
