Biggest Mistake: Cedar Sawmill Buyer Beware
I bought a custom sawmill from Cedar Sawmill in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. There was more wrong with the mill than right when it arrived. It arrived with shot guide bearings and it was all downhill from there. I had to do my own custom welding and fabrication and hire a weld shop to straighten the bed of the mill which arrived with a huge bow in it. The pulleys were the wrong size so the blade speed was off. It throws belts. The steel used is extremely thin (not structural at all) and the legs wouldn't hold up a table. I replaced the sheaves of the pulleys with ones of appropriate size. I had to replace the stock guide system with a retro-fit guide system from Cook's Saw Manufacturing. Shawn didn't honor any sort of the warranty he claims and I ended up taking him to court and won. STAY AWAY!

    Adjusting the fence to correct "blade drift" is not the way to do it! Your table slot is not corrected ! Leave the fence parallel to the slot... loosen the four bolts holding the table to the trunnion and line it up to your cut piece. Oh, and don't pull and drag the table when you want to move the saw to a new location.

      I'll stand by my way as my results have been perfect for years. I resaw often for bookmatched door panels. I prefer the Snodgrass method to tuning a bandsaw and you'll never convince me there's a better way to tuning a bandsaw than Alex's.. The "slot" has nothing to do with it. The guides above and below the table do though. My results speak for themselves but you do you. Years later, by the way, and I've cut thousands of feet on this particular bandsaw.

    • @wmwalkerco

      Just to be clear. The TABLESAW, you align the slots of the table to the blade then the fence parallel to that. The bandsaw is different though

    Too many slick talking salesmen and not enough real craftsmen out there. They took advantage of a shortage and backlog. I hate to say it our systems suck on these type issues with slow uneven courts and a judgement is often just a piece of paper. Might just be best to sell the judgement to a pro and let them try to chase him. That would free you to move on and make the best out of a bad situation. Good luck. Sometimes it is best to put them in the rear view mirror and learn a lesson. At least he did not use some patriotic plea to scam you the way he did.

    That sawmill shaped hunk of steel is an absolute POS. I had a similar experience w/ seqouia sawmills, absolute turds. I spent more time working on the stupid machine than cutting wood. Ended up buying a large TK2400, 70hp kubota diesel, thing cuts like a monster, no down time other than switching blades and occasionally belts etc. Lesson I learned is, buy the largest heaviest sawmill you can afford, TK, cooks, WM, Baker all make good sawmills, I personally like 4 post fully supported hydraulic mills but you pay for it. Hope your rebuilt sawmill works out for you. Hopefully Sean goes bankrupt and stops making sawmills.

    Yikes. There has definitely been an explosion of demand for sawmills the last few years. Less than honest people capitalize on that. I bought my mill a couple years ago based on online feedback that the company had great customer service. Yes, it is manufactured in China, but backed by a company that stands behind it's products 110%. I say 110% because they made an upgrade to something after I bought the mill, and sent it out to existing owners for free.

    man this sucks, I feel like the ease of "social media businesses" to screw people over has only gotten easier.

    • @wmwalkerco
      @wmwalkerco 12 днів тому

      I thought the ants were cool too! I could watch them do their thing for way too long. Social Media has been an amazing way to connect people around the world and I feel like it's connected communities of like-minded people all over the globe. BUT it also brings the shills and charlatans. I got burned on this one, but I'm making it better and it's taught me the nitty gritty details that make a difference in sawmill design. Speaking of your parents and a landscape architect. There was a "contractor" doing some work on the house a few doors down. Rented a mini-excavator and skid-steer. It sat on that job for weeks. I thought "man that's a long time to have a rental and not use it that much. That's got to be really expensive". Another friend down the road was having the same contractor do work for them as well. He tried to sneak in the rental bill from one job onto the invoice of the other and got caught. I don't understand why some people just try to cheat their way through life, when if they put the same effort into just doing a good job, they'd have a lasting business and something to be proud of.

      I've been using it for more than a year now and never an issue. How are you currently handling your knives? Mine are all hand wash only so there is quite a bit of care involved so you don't cut yourself

      @@wmwalkerco Mine is made out of beech, with routed slots for the knives, rather traditional really. I made it 25 years ago and the blades can only touch wood. Apart from an occasional woodworker, I do cook daily and consider it my #1 hobby. Knives are only washed by hand, and only by me 😀 Knives in a dishwasher would end-up blunt and nicked ;-) Because I am so careful about the blades, I would never put them in a block where blades can touch each other.

      I am an avid home chef myself. It seems to work fine in my kitchen and I don't really enjoy sharpening so I try to keep my knives as sharp as possible for as long as possible. Cheers.

    I love my carbide tools. So much easier to work with. Great video. 👍

      I turn with both but I gravitate towards my gouges and round nose scrapers most often. However you enjoy doing it best and the finished products are what matters right?

    Fatal cuts are so frustrating. I, sadly, understand.
