How to prepare for on site milling:
Location Setup: Ensure you have a suitable area for the sawmill to operate safely. Clear any obstacles or debris around the site.
Log Selection: Identify the logs you want to be milled. Check for rot, splits, or signs of insect damage. Logs should ideally be freshly cut or stored properly to avoid excessive drying.
Log Measurement: Measure the length and diameter of the logs you intend to mill. This information helps the sawmill operator plan the cutting process.
Safety Gear: If you plan to be present during milling, wear appropriate safety gear such as eye protection, ear protection, and sturdy footwear.
Communication: Discuss your milling requirements and expectations with the sawmill operator. Be clear about the sizes and types of cuts you need.
Access: Ensure there's easy access for the sawmill equipment to reach the site. If your logs are in a remote location, make arrangements for transportation.
Staging Area: Have a designated area to stage logs, ready for milling. This streamlines the process and helps the operator work efficiently.
Clear Debris: Remove any loose bark, dirt, or debris from the logs. This ensures cleaner cuts and reduces wear on the sawmill blades.
Safety Precautions: Ensure bystanders are at a safe distance during the milling process. The sawmill can generate flying debris and noise.
Environmental Considerations: If you're on private property, be mindful of the local environment and any regulations that may apply to logging and milling activities.
Post-Milling Plans: Consider how you'll transport and store the milled lumber. Have a plan in place to protect the lumber from moisture and other elements.
By taking these steps, you'll help ensure a smooth and efficient milling process, resulting in quality lumber that can be transformed into your desired projects.
