How to make a Mikuman

The manufacturing of a Mikuman sawmill is a meticulous process that starts with the base structure, continues with the head and rails, and culminates with the installation of guards and accessories. However, behind every sawmill there are a series of precise steps and rigorous checks that are essential to ensure quality and optimal performance. There are no shortcuts on this path..

The key to our success lies in the use of high-quality components. For example, it would be impossible to build a reliable sawmill using low-resistance bearings or aluminum flywheels, materials that would not withstand the demands of our equipment. Instead, we select the best available elements, from the winch and cable clamps to the high-precision centrifugal pulleys. Every piece, not matter how small, plays a fundamental role in the performance of the sawmill..

Assembly

Once we have completed the construction phase and the team has been painted, one of the most exciting parts of the process arrives: the final assembly. This is where all the pieces come to life and start working together. This process begins with turning the axles, followed by assembling the steering wheel. We carefully control the pulley and the engine to ensure that the tensioner and the belt are perfectly aligned with the steering wheel and the engine's centrifugal pulley. This step is crucial, as any misalignment can affect the overall performance of the machine..

Then we install the second pulley, turn the cork lining, and proceed to align both pulleys with the saw blade. This alignment is perhaps one of the most delicate moments of the assembly. Sometimes we achieve perfect alignment on the first try; other times, it requires additional adjustments. We do not move forward until the alignment is impeccable, as it is essential for the proper functioning of the sawmill..

Once the flywheels are aligned, we punch the studs on the shafts of both the flywheels and the bearings, making sure to use a special adhesive for the bolts, ensuring long-term stability..

The next step is the fine alignment of the sheet settings. These should be as close to the sheet as possible without touching it, a task that demands precision and care. There is no room for haste here; every detail matters. A minimal imperfection could affect the cut, so we also carefully check the alignment of the rails and ensure that the four wheels are always in contact with the rails, guaranteeing total stability and precision..

The day of the test

And finally, we arrive at the test cut, the finishing touch and one of the most satisfying moments. Although we are completely confident in the quality of our sawmills and that they will function perfectly thanks to the rigorous prior controls, the test cut is a demonstration of that commitment. If the sawmill is being shipped to another province, we like to include a video of the test cut so that the customer has complete confidence in their purchase..

From the initial design on the computer to the final sawmill in the hands of our customers, each step of the process is done with dedication and care. We don't rush our work, because we understand that quality lies in the details. We take the necessary time to ensure that each Mikuman sawmill is a precise and reliable tool. It's no wonder we have 100% of our customers happy
