I was milling some wood lately. Some ash, mostly white oak. Everything was running great. I got my first paid job for the mill so I put the clients log on. (Ash) and made 4 nice cuts and in the fifth cut the blade started to chatter a bit and sounded like it was catching on something. Then it snapped. I put on a new one but it was doing the same thing. The blade was marking a jagged cut. In the path to fixing it I ended up replacing to belts, checking and adjusting guide rollers and blocks, leveling and anything else I could think off. It still did the same thing. I took the clients log off the mill and put on a small cedar. Milled it in a heartbeat and the cuts were great. I put on a chunk of white oak. Same thing, milled great. Put the clients log back on. It it milled mostly great. I’m glad it’s working but I wish I knew why. Plus it was 2 frustrating days messing with this thing. Anyone else have mysterious mill problems?
