I've owned wood mizer LT 40 since 1987. Advice from a seasoned logger, always wear eye, ear and hearing protection. If you see any blue stain on the butt cut or as you are removing slabs, that's a 99 percent chance that you are going to find metal of some kind in the log. For bigger logs and trees with a rough bark like hickory I switched to a bi-metal blade. They are more expensive but are easier to touch up and last at least twice as long between sharpening. I've cut 750 bd feet of Shag bark hickory with them before before sharpening. I always out a few tablespoons of liquid fish detergent in my water for the blade lube. A clean, sharp blade can double your daily board foot total. My best ever investment was a metal detector. Consider getting one as soon as it is in your budget. Awesome videos.

You need to metal detect the logs before sawing them. Have a catspaw and fencing pliers this helps pull the nails out. Any trees that come from old farms will most likely have u shape type nails in them. Put some Dawn dish soap in the drip tank, it will keep the blade clean of any gunk build-up. Get some anchor-seal for the ends of logs, to keep checking down.

A 30 year Sawyer recently taught me that if you sticker your lumber way out at the very ends of your beams, cants or boards, it will reduce checking quite a bit. He also encouraged painting the ends of the logs asap off the stump with waxy paint (or pretty much any paint you can get a hold of) to slow the drying to reduce cracking and checking. Also, elevate log piles off the dirt or store them in a pond if possible. That's my exciting comment! No go make some sawdust!

In the business, we call that "going up and down" that the blade was doing after you hit the nail "snaking." Where I sharpen the saws, we run an 8"X30'6"X16 gauge horizontal bandsaw and a larger vertical bandmill. The vertical can hit a nail and keep cutting straight. But the horizontal will start snaking more often than not. I guess it's just the different dynamics between the types of mill.

An I've heard them talk about the dust building up on wheels an if it's pine or something that has a lot of sap in it sticking to the blade an causing it to vibrant an or make blade rise an drop when sawing. They talk a lot about using a solution or diesel to keep blade lubricated. Cook's recommend using machine oil or something to lubricate blade instead of a water solution. Make sense to me as long as blade don't slip.
