Milling lumber from logs WOODWEB
I''m sawing bass wood 1x3''s here. See how narrow the kerf is when using a band saw (about 1/32")? For each 1/32" of kerf, you loose 2% of lumber out of the log to sawdust. Circular saw blades, and chain saw chains make up to about 9/32" kerf. It''s easy to see the huge savings of a band saw!! The engine is a 13 HP Honda, and it does a very good job.
