Does anyone know of a mid size machine for grinding up scrap wood to make sawdust? The stuff is near impossible to get "round here. Thanks for the help.

My favorite sawmill cut me off on the free sawdust. Seems they have a buyer who pays a few dollars a truckload and makes wood pellets out of it for pellet stoves.

are there no pallet mills near you? they will USUALLY give it to you to get rid of it. The local mill here has a mountain of it, you shovel for free or they use a Payloader for $5 a pickup load....best 5 bucks I ever spent!

Wow, they give it away? you guys don't know how good you got it! I'm in Mass.. Been delivering sawdust to dairys and a few stables for like 20 years. Back then, I had maybe10-12 dairys, now I got 2. Then, it cost me 5-10$ to fill 17yard truck and I got $90 to deliver. Now, if I can get it, the mills are charging $100-130 aload! Oh ya, I getabout $95 to deliver! Where did I go wrong? Thanks for your help, I will check out TSC but I imagine it's a home owners machine.

Hard to get?
My neighbor handles 2-4 semi truckloads of the stuff each day here in Middle TN.
He'll be glad to sell you a truckload or 40 loads - where/when do you want it delivered?

Don't know how much you want to do. Neighbor uses a tub grinder , for scrap from cabinet factory and rafter plant. Uses it for cattle bedding. Also grinds used newspaper from recyclers

What are you going to use it for? If you are going to use it for horses make sure not to use any dust or chips contaning walnut. I make the best shavings using my planer or shaper. if you have limbs or logs, cut a piece of plywood to fit through your planer and screw log to it from the bottom until you get a god flat spot on top. Then unscrew and turn over and have at it.

Be careful burning sawdust. I threw some on a fire from cleaning my garage and singed my eyebrows. The stuff is like grain dust.

You may ask the local grade/high school wood shop if they have one. If you are lucky to have a wood mill cutting logs, they give that away here.

Where are you at Plowboy? And What kind of sawdust are you looking for? I just filled a bag in my dust collector if you're close to Central Oh. A planer, jointer or table saw with dust collection ports would be the easiest way to get sawdust.
