Carter Lumber Mill - BrokenOlMarine - 08-12-2018 I had seen these several times, in Woodcraft, on line, and other places. I finally caught one during free shipping and ordered it, as I have a dozen or so black walnut logs to process into wood I can make boxes from. I had always made do in the past when slicing chunks of promising firewood and making boxes, but the Carter system seems like a much safer option. Anyone used the Carter Mill for the bandsaw? Any tips or suggestions? My only downside is I will be cutting the logs to length with my bowsaw, the doc told me no more chain saw use, so my 18" bar stihl went to a friend who would get lots of use from it. Not a huge deal. I'll cut a couple eighteen to twenty-two inch sections, then take a break, cut a couple more, then repeat. Time, I have. RE: Carter Lumber Mill - Eochaid4 - 08-14-2018 Had a dead oak cut down and into short lengths for firewood. Some of the pieces were 12 or inches OD. So I went ahead and bought the Carter Lumber Mill. It worked really well for my my purposes, i.e., slicing the big sections into quarters for the fire place. It's a little pricey, but so is firewood at the grocery store. |
