What causes the height adjustment to jump or stutter on a Wood-mizer Saw?
If the height adjustment on your Wood-mizer Saw jumps or stutters, it could be because the up/down chain is improperly adjusted, so adjust the up/down chain. Alternatively, the vertical wear pads might be too tight, so adjust those pads.
What causes boards to be thick or thin on the ends or middle when using a Wood-mizer LT15 Saw?
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.
What to do if Wood-mizer LT15 blades break prematurely?
Premature blade breakage on your Wood-mizer Saw can be attributed to a few things. Double-check your sharpening techniques by reading the instructions with your blade sharpening equipment carefully. If the rubber belts on the blade wheels are worn to the point that the blade contacts the metal pulley (look for shiny spots on the edge of wheels), change the blade wheel belts (B-57). Also, ensure the blade tension is set to the recommended specifications.
Why is my Wood-mizer Saw lumber not square?
If the lumber from your Wood-mizer Saw is not square, several factors could be the cause. Check if the vertical side supports are not square to the bed and adjust them. Ensure the blade is parallel to the bed rails, adjusting the bed rails if needed. Also, remove any sawdust or bark between the cant and bed rails. Finally, tooth set problems can cause this issue, so resharpen and reset the blade.
Why do Wood-mizer LT15 blades dull quickly?
Your Wood-mizer Saw blades may be dulling quickly due to several factors. The logs might be dirty, so clean or debark them, especially on the entry side of the cut. If you are grinding teeth, you might be heating them too much, causing them to soften; grind just enough metal to restore sharpness and use water/coolant while sharpening. Poor sharpening techniques can also be a factor, so carefully read the instructions with your blade sharpening equipment to ensure the tip is being sharpened completely.
Why do I get wavy cuts with my Wood-mizer LT15?
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 accordingly. Sap buildup on the blade can also cause this, so consider using Water Lube. Finally, a tooth set problem can be the cause, so resharpen and reset the blade.
What causes drive belts to wear prematurely or jump on a Wood-mizer LT15?
If the drive belts are wearing out quickly or jumping, it's likely due to the engine/motor drive pulleys being out of alignment. Make sure to align the pulleys.
How to correct Lumber that is not square with my Wood-mizer LT15 Saw?
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 to do if the blade does not track right on the drive wheel of my Wood-mizer Saw?
If the blade on your Wood-mizer Saw isn't tracking correctly on the drive wheel, the cant adjustment is likely incorrect. Readjust it.
Why do drive belts wear prematurely or jump on my Wood-mizer Saw?
If the drive belts on your Wood-mizer Saw are wearing out quickly or jumping, it's likely that the engine/motor and drive pulleys are out of alignment. You should align the pulleys.
