hi I'm Dave Mann from the Indianapolis
office and I'm here to walk you through
a side-by-side comparison of the lt15
start and the standard lt15
from wood-mizer
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you
[Music]
both the lt15 start and the standard
lt15
are good for guys all the way from the
hobbyist to the experienced Sawyer's the
lt15 start comes standard with to bed
sections for a regular cutting length of
up to 11 feet the standard lt15
comes with three bed sections and a
standard cutting length of up to 17 foot
8 inches
both sawmills can have extra beds added
to go virtually unlimited length the saw
heads on both of the mills are identical
in capacity so 28 inches in diameter and
cutting width between the blade guides
of up to 26 inches now let's take a
closer look at the LT 15 start bed come
standard with four adjustable side
supports eight adjustable legs for rough
leveling and one clamp
additional clamps are available as an
option now let's take a closer look at
the standard LT 15 bed it has six
adjustable side supports three of which
that have the auxilary rollers to assist
in turning comes with two clamps a
standard and 12 of the adjustable legs
for rough leveling the lt15 start is
powered by a recoil start gasoline
engine
head adjustments or the thickness of the
board is controlled by this easy to move
handle each full turn represents one
inch of head movement and each of these
notches is a sixteenth of an inch
once the head is in place you engage the
blade by simply pushing this lever
control and you throttle up the engine
next you're ready to adjust the water
and the width of your blade guide arm to
the desired cut then you're ready to
begin sawing the feed control on alt 15
Start is strictly a push through model
now let's take a look at the cutting
head of the standard LT 15 it does have
several upgrades over the LT 15 star
such as the up-and-down system it's the
same crank handle but now each turn
represents two inches of head travel
still each notch representing one
sixteenth of an inch it also has a lift
assist to help in lifting the cutting
edge so it's a little easier the blade
guide arm adjustment is identical as is
the water loop adjustment the fine
adjustment here the blade engagement not
only engages the blade that throttles up
the engine automatically the feed
mechanism instead of just pushing it
through now we simply have a crank
handle so we crank through
the other nice feature of the LT 15
standard is power feed is an option so
if you'd rather not crank you can add
the optional power feed it does have an
auxilary five gallon gas tank so a
larger fuel supply for when you're
cutting in remote locations the power
plant on the standard LT 15 is an
electric start gasoline engine it's also
available in diesel or electric
the lt15 standard does come with an
optional trailer package that we call
the LT 15 go after a couple hours of
sawing and the blade is dull it's time
to change your blade it's easy to do on
the wood-mizer all you need to do is
simply disengage the tensioning arm with
a 180 degree swing and open the blade
guide covers the blade slips right out
put the blade back in close the covers
and retention the band fine adjustment
for the tensioning is on this little
knob here you simply turn this dial
clockwise or counter clockwise with the
goal being when it's fully tensioned up
that the orange washer is flush with the
end of the bolt head well there you have
it the walkthrough of the LT 15 start
and the LT 15 standard from wid miser
