Im cutting European Larch to 25mmx150mm boards. These are then air-dried - sticked, stacked and strapped. Boards are then planed - PAR on a moulder However, Im getting inconsistent results in the machine. The boards can only be planed to 140mm either side (if lucky). was hoping for 144mm at least... this is because of Shrinkage... However, should i be cutting wider boards. ie. does 150mm mean 150mm when wet or when dry? Bad drying technique? Bad cutting on the saw? Larch particularly volatile? etc? Im sure we are getting accurate green/wet boards to start with. thanks

Hi, I'm cutting lots of larch boards on a bandsaw mill at the moment Feels very hard work brushing down every board by hand Trying to make process quicker/ more efficient Any tips to make the removing of wet gummy sawdust quicker? How would the bigger mills overcome this before stacking? Thanks in advance

Hi, Looking please, for advice on milling bent logs - to take out the bend I.e best first cut? bend facing upwards or not... Second cut etc Resulting in hopefully straight boards... !? Thanks in advance

Hi, Thinking about buying a planer moulder to add value to my sawn products Will buy old, but decent second hand machine Was wondering if anyone had heard of any training / courses that I could attend to get Competent with moulding ??? Maybe a bit of a long shot Have had a good Google...

Thanks for the tips. Will give the washing up liquid a go, diluted with water. Just finding it a slow process as the whole saw gets clogged, so the sawdust doesn't make it to the extraction. Hopefully, not using as much water - and a little washing up liquid the dust makes it through and less sawdust will be on the sawn timber... !?

Hi, I am milling larch boards on a bandsaw mill. I'm currently using water as the lubrication, is this correct or are others better? The timber is problematic with wet sawdust and takes a long time to clean - brushing off and air hosing before stacking. Any advice to get around these problems... Thanks in advance

I was hoping to stack my cladding on 3 level pallets and then stack and sticker up from there. Would this work? As then I can strap them down and move them to where I wanted... Plastic conduits sound good. I take it that's the oval shape? As the round kind may all roll off... Or are you cutting modifying them? Great advice, thanks
