First Ever Demo Day at Logosol

Well, we had a big time at Logosol on a recent weekend in October. We demonstrated our planer/moulder line outside the Logosol building in Madison, MS. It was a beautiful fall day and we had some great visitors to show up for training and demonstrations on the Logosol PH260 planer/moulder. We also demonstrated the SH230 planer/moulder, and the Log House Moulder. We had chips flying as we cut the cant for the Log House Moulder demonstration with the M7 sawmill.

All the wrong things

During the demonstration, I showed the class how to try and use the moulder with the knives in backwards, and later I tried to run a board through with one of the heads in backwards! Guess I was doing more talking than demonstrating and not paying attention. But, I used the situation to get the class to figure out what was wrong, and after much head scratching, someone actually figured it out. Anyway, it was a good opportunity to show how you can put heads in wrong, but when you do, it's not the end of the road. We simply made the correction and kept on planing. The moulder did a great job, in spite of its absentminded operator.

At the end of the day, several visitors brought out some boards they had brought with them for test running through the planer. Of course, they brought some of the hardest material available to see how the moulder would do - Kiln dried white oak, hickory, and maple. One person also had some cedar, and that made a nice planing piece. The maple turned out to be spalted, and really showed some figure after planing.

All in all, it was a great day! Dave Boyt was there taking pictures and doing a writeup for our upcoming issue of Fresh Cut. Everybody left with a Logosol hat and some new knowledge about our equipment, and some free issues of Sawmill and Woodlot magazine. We met some great people and made some new friends.

If you missed this one, look for upcoming demo days. This is something we plan to work into our calendar throughout the year, so you can always find a day to come by for some training and fun. Be sure and get on our mailing list in order to be notified of the next one. We are also planning a demo day in the northern part of the U.S. in the near future at one of our customers locations. We did have people come from as far away as Missouri to learn about this planer.

Hope to see you at the next Logosol Demo Day!

Logosol Hosts Demonstration Day in Madison

We are having a Planer Demonstration Day at Logosol! For the first time ever we are having a full day of Planer and Log House Moulder Demonstrations for our prospects and customers. We have invited our recent prospects and customers in Mississippi and neighboring states to visit us Saturday October 20th here at the Logosol U.S. Headquarters for a day of demonstrations and fun. We will be making mouldings with the PH260 and also demonstrating the DH410 and the SH230 Soloplaner. Also, we will have some logs available to show the use of the Electric Log House Moulder.

If you've been wanting to see the Planer first hand, this is your chance. We will be making mouldings all day, and changing from one pattern to the other on these machines so you can see how to set up for various types of mouldings. We will also be putting the new machines to work making mouldings as well.

We will have some free items available to all who show up, including back issues of Independent Sawmill and Woodlot Management, and stylish Logosol Caps, as well as a grilled hamburger lunch! Some representatives of the Sawmill and Woodlot will be here on that day, so it will be a great time to meet them and learn what else is happening in the milling world.

And, for those wanting to purchase, we will have coupons available that will be worth far more than the cost of the trip to come see us(unless you are coming from California).

Hope you can make it to the Demo day!
