  The blade may be coming off the bandwheels of your TMG Saw due to several reasons: inadequate blade tension, improper blade guide setup (incorrect gap between guide blocks and blade), improper blade tracking, worn belts, a dull blade, or pushing the mill too quickly. Consider tightening the blade, adjusting the blade guides, adjusting the blade tracking, installing new belts, installing a new blade, or slowing the feed rate.

  Wavy cuts from your TMG Saw can be caused by several factors. These include inadequate blade tension, improper blade guide setup (incorrect gap between guide blocks and blade), improper blade tracking, sap buildup on the blade, a dull blade, or pushing the mill too quickly. You might need to tighten the blade, adjust the blade guides, adjust the blade tracking, install a new blade and always use blade lubricant, or slow down the feed rate.

  Blades may break on your TMG Saw due to too many blade sharpenings, inadequate blade tension (binding between guide blocks when blade is too loose), improper blade guide setup (incorrect gap between guide blocks and blade), improper blade tracking, or pushing the mill too quickly. Consider replacing the blade, tightening the blade, adjusting the blade guides, adjusting the blade tracking, or slowing down the feed rate.

What causes excessive vibration in my TMG Kohler TMG-PSM26 Saw mill?
- C
  Clifford RichardsonAug 25, 2025
  Excessive vibration in your TMG Saw mill can be attributed to several factors: the log not being clamped securely, deformed belts (possibly from leaving blade tension tight when not in use), a bandwheel bearing issue, pushing the mill too quickly, or loose bolts. Ensure the log is clamped firmly, replace any deformed belts, inspect and replace worn bandwheel bearings, slow down the feed rate, and check all bolts to ensure they are tight.

  Your TMG Saw blade might be dulling quickly because the logs are not clean (containing dirt/sand) or there are foreign objects (nails, staples, old fencing, etc.) in the log.

  Robert RyanAug 31, 2025
  The blade on your TMG Saw might be slowing down or stopping due to inadequate blade tension, improper drive belt tension (belts are worn or too loose), or pushing the mill too quickly. Consider tightening the blade, replacing the belts, or slowing down the feed rate.

Why is my TMG Kohler TMG-PSM26 Saw mill not cutting or cutting very slowly?
- B
  Brent CoxSep 5, 2025
  Your TMG Saw mill may not be cutting, or cutting very slowly, because of a dull blade or the blade being on backwards. Try installing a new blade or removing the blade and flipping it inside out, ensuring the teeth face the direction of the log supports.

What causes the last board to be tapered or narrow in the middle when using my TMG Kohler TMG-PSM26?
- G
  George RiveraSep 8, 2025
  If the last board cut with your TMG Saw is tapered or narrow in the middle, it's likely that the tracks are not level. Check the tracks with a level and adjust them to be square. Ensure they are set up on a firm, sturdy ground/base to prevent deflection from logs or the sawmill head.
