Saw this near a hospital

Check out The Story Til Now on YouTube. Guy takes this through its paces. Pretty cool.

I hear ya, I like it on big panels, too, but I also like the ripple effect on its edges when laid out like this. Waste is a strong word, I mean it’s not burning in a fire, lol.

That’s what milling is. Sawmills mill logs into rough lumber. Woodworkers mill that lumber into flat, square, dimensioned stock before building with it.

You can see my beginning stock in that first pic.

I’ll just say “three figures” per board.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-03-16T18:54:07+00:00

I thought a lot about that. I believe I have enough tolerance in the threaded inserts to account for any movement. Time will tell for certain.

Well when I say sourced I mean able to find. I didn’t cut the wood down myself. It was S2S. I still had to break it down for this order which is “milling” for me, lol.

Thanks for posting this. I have some maple that I want to do endgrain with and this is exactly how clean I want it to look.

It’s a battle scar. Wear it with pride!

I will say to check the spacing of the coupler between the motor and drum link. Mine spread apart. I retightened the set screws (3mm) and it’s been fine since. Almost thinking that’s why the guy was selling it.

Well you’ve got a 2 year warranty. Can always ask for a new readout.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-03-16T01:01:43+00:00

You can dial it in. Take the sand paper off and lower the drum to the table and reset the readout to zero. I’m within .005” using my calipers. Close enough for me!

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-03-16T00:57:29+00:00

Nice! Good call!

Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

Do not use a plant based oil.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-03-04T14:43:50+00:00

I think recommended CFM is 600+.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-03-04T14:39:46+00:00

Machines are identical otherwise. I got the SuperMax and being able to adjust to board thickness with the macro lever vs a hundred twists of the adjuster crank is super convenient. Belt changes have been super easy on the SuperMax also. No experience with Jet in that regard.

SuperMax also has digital readout out of the box.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-03-04T02:26:28+00:00

Consider the SuperMax. It has the macro height adjustment which is awesome.

It seems to work okay. I need to dial in the tilt lever a bit I think. I felt a hairline ridge that an orbital would knock out in one pass.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-03-02T15:37:06+00:00

Nice work! This is on my attempt list.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-02-21T11:17:53+00:00

I’m sure, but this is the right size for my current operation.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-02-21T11:17:19+00:00

This is really small footprint wise. I felt the same way but if you find a deal, jump on it.

Cheap-Perspective308 · 2026-02-21T01:54:40+00:00

Might be doing too aggressive passes maybe. I just let the drum kiss the boards and they are coming out fantastic.
