Trying to get a slab to cut blanks from this OLD Mesquite trunk. Was going along fine, saw some sparks— nothing out of ordinary, but wouldn’t advance, so knew something not good.
So I went to the other side, really slooow cut. Pounded a wedge in, then slab cracked in two and I got to see the culprit.
Pic of the metal, then what happened to the new ripping chain— it’s toast.
Ordinarily I’d give the friend that gave me the log a ribbing, but he’s been called to the eternal ranch— will have to wait awhile....
