Ordered nearly 1 year ago, we finally received our new Iseli RZ1. This is a highly advanced machine that is designed to greatly assist our very experienced saw filer, Ross, in leveling, tensioning and back measuring-adjusting the large band saw blades used in our mill. Congratulations to Wilson, Tom and Ken for developing a plan and making it happen to get this very heavy, and expensive piece of equipment put into position inside the second floor in side the saw filing room.
(
#1) It was a carefully thought out move. Once determined necessary, an opening was created in the exterior wall of the building so the Iseli could be set into position within the filing room.

#2) Gary Fleming makes preparations to get the machine loaded onto one of our lifts, and carefully moves the unit from the shipping pallet and into the filing room .

# 3) Tom Kennett, Tom Wilson ( not pictured ) assists Gary using radio communication to guide the bench through the opening and set on the floor.

The entire process went smoothly, thanks to the experience and skills of all involved. Job well done! Teamwork makes the dreamwork!
Hopefully final set up can be completed soon, and this highly anticipated piece of equipment can be put to use.
