How to fix wavy cuts with my Wood-mizer LT15?
- L
  Lisa DominguezSep 8, 2025
  Wavy cuts can occur due to several reasons. You might be feeding the saw too quickly, so try slowing down the feed rate. The blade might be improperly sharpened, so resharpen it carefully following the sharpener’s instructions. Check if the blade guides are improperly adjusted and adjust them if needed. Sap buildup on the blade can also cause this, so try using Water Lube. Finally, a tooth set problem can also be the cause, so resharpen and reset the blade.

How to correct Lumber that is not square with my Wood-mizer LT15 Saw?
- L
  Linda HallAug 27, 2025
  If your lumber isn't square, it could be due to several reasons. Start by adjusting the side supports to ensure they are square to the bed. Next, adjust the bed rails so they are parallel to the blade. Make sure to remove any sawdust or bark between the cant and bed rails. Finally, resharpen and reset the blade to address any tooth set problems.

What causes the height adjustment to jump or stutter on my Wood-mizer LT15?
- R
  Regina SolisSep 16, 2025
  If the height adjustment jumps or stutters, it may be due to an improperly adjusted up/down chain, so adjust the up/down chain. It could also be that the vertical wear pads are too tight, so adjust the pads.

What causes boards to be thick or thin on the ends or middle when using a Wood-mizer LT15 Saw?
- A
  Alexander ThomasSep 4, 2025
  If you're getting boards that are thick or thin on the ends or middle with your Wood-mizer Saw, it could be due to stress in the log causing it to not lay flat on the bed. After squaring the log, take equal cuts off opposing sides, alternating between the top and bottom, to keep the heart in the middle. Another cause might be the set in the teeth, requiring you to resharpen and reset the blade. Finally, check if the bed rails are misaligned and realign the sawmill if necessary.
