Precision of the Logosol
Sawmill components.
The Logosol Sawmill is
constructed of extruded
aluminium profiles. This
material can, by nature,
deviate somewhat when it
comes to angles and atness.
When designing the sawmill,
we have taken this into
consideration, so possible
deviations will not affect the
functions of the sawmill. One
place where the slightest
deviation is clearly noticable,
is the joint where the ends of
the guide rail meet. Often, the
deviation seems bigger than
it actually is. When the guide
rails are cut into length with
a large metal cutting circular
saw there will inevitably be
deviations of +/- some tenth
of degrees, which results in
noticable deviations. These
deviations, however, are
of no importance, provided
that you do not compress
the gap. Press the guide rail
sections together without
using violence. The joint
coupler will adjust and x the
guide rail sections. Plastic is
soft and difcult to process.
For the Logosol Sawmill we
want to have as exact t as
possible as regards the plastic
slides. As an effect of this, the
log beds can be somewhat
difcult to move. If this is the
case, use a ne sandpaper
and polish the plastic until
they run easily up and down.
Usually, after having been
used for a couple of days, the
plastic will have worn down
without any actions taken.
(Before polishing, read the
section about adjusting the
sawmill, pp 22-24).
Demands for precision
We are convinced that the
M7 sawmill can provide as
good or better results as
other small-scale sawing
methods.
A large number of users of
the Logosol sawmills have
reported that they have never
had better wood products
than those they have sawn
themselves with their Logosol
mill.
However, it is natural that
we also meet customers
who want to improve on the
precision. By now we know
that variations in sawing
results can have many
explanations. The choice of
raw material is vital. Cutting
good boards from short, sturdy
logs is considerably easier
than getting the same results
with thin, long ones. Tensions
caused by storage or place of
growth can cause problems.
Some tree types cause more
problems than others. The
reasons are many, including
how much time is available.
Sawyers with unlimited time
have a greater chance to
succeed than those whose
time is short.
The precision requirements
also vary. A result that is
satisfactory for someone
sawing boards for rustic
fence posts may not be
good enough for someone
sawing boards to be used in
construction without being
planed.
If you have gone through the
various steps for adjusting
the M7 sawmill, checked
the cutting equipment and
observed the effects of
tensions in the wood, but still
do not get the sawing results
you expect, contact us at
Logosol. We have years of
experience and can always
help you find solutions to
problems you may have.
