Static , mainly soft wood larch spruce etc ,probable running with a multi rip / edger .

i was thinking 15 cumtre finished product daily , is that realistic?

Regards the Static 3 phase type set up Big J is definitely far more clued up on that type of set up than myself. I spoke to him regards the set up of my own mill which helped tremendously before hitting the buy button. A few of the issues I’ve encountered he had experience of the same and engineered in his own solutions ie roller guide upgrade, the wider and thicker the blade the better I’d say too if it’s an option to upgrade. They are reassuringly built like tanks.

That’s certainly sound advice Big J , our thoughts to speed up was board drag with out feed conveyor into a 3 way sorter ie waste , multi , sawn product .
My first thought was the 800 , do you still have your machine ?

Best thing you can do is pay a visit to pawl and see his in action. Dave (johnsond) spent a lot of time getting his custom built to the spec he wanted and sounds like you could do with the same. Big J even went over to the factory in poland when he purchased his.
