Lucas Mill tips and tricks Part 9 - Cutting from both sides with the Swing Blade Mill

can you make multiple cuts, horizontal, downward, then switch the direction of the mill and finish the cuts for multiple boards vs. doing them one at a time? hope that makes sense.  Stacked cuts, go to the other side and complete....?  May have to wedge the first cuts?  Have ordered a 6-16 based on watching your work, looking forward to using the mill.

Thanks so much for making these videos! Learning so much watching.

What is the price and max/min length of log is it good for

Blue Gum is prob. the prettiest for grain in my neck of the woods ,,

Any day of the week I'd have this over a bandsaw type mill if it weren't for the fact I can't cut 12x12s" on my own. I could get the slabbing attachment but it would be great if I could do it all with a circular blade as I wouldn't have to turn the log. What would be great is that as an attachment if you could buy a blade large enough to do 12" cross cuts to accurately square off the ends too - even bandsaw mills don't address what i see as somewhat of a glaring omission.

Perhaps a way around the first part of the problem is to buy 2x cutting jigs and a couple of track extensions and have a jig at each end.

Great mill, but your head camera really made me dizzy within the first three minutes, I think someone else holding the camera or use a tripod.

amigo como faço para construir uma maquina dessa ? teria passo a passo ?

Might need a better farm hand.

Recently I watched a vid of a Petersen Mill being demoed,,, they cut a couple of weather boards,,, it wouldn't be hard to add another stop at the angle required to cut the taper ,, the only problem is a std. weather board is 7 inch 175 mm where this mill could only cut 6 inch 150 mm .. I will add the Petersen mill was only a 150 mm also..

Mate your a bit of a spin doctor here . I run a Lucas mill 10" 30 hp and as for your measuring here I ask myself a Question ! ..... your winging it , and as far as turning your mill head , this is not nesassay as I run on the same 10" cut first on the back side and then on the front , 4 passes and have dropped the gadge so I can get a 50mm board , so we have a 20" board as normal will be 40 mm thick as standard
