Giant bandsaw and logging mill

Thanks for the link Joe. That looks like a well managed mill. Powered by 100yr+ steam engines fueled by sawdust and chips – fantastic. -Jack

This is a good story, glad to see it is still in operation.

The BS blade get sharpened every 2 hours!!

ChuckC, I was wondering about the blade with the opposite edge having those shallow teeth. Wonder if that was a used edge and not enough material left to sharpen adequately. Wonder how long a blade lasts ?? Wonder if it is days or hours !!

Wow, that’s pretty interesting. I am surprised I have seen this one Discovery or History Channel. That blade is something else.
