Sawing 26 foot Pine logs

Today’s video showcases some serious sawmill power as we tackle a massive 26-foot Southern Yellow Pine and break it down into 12x12 timbers with industrial precision. This isn’t your average backyard milling setup — this is real heavy-duty equipment doing what it was built for.

We’re running a 66-inch solid tooth circular saw, driven by a 300 horsepower electric motor spinning at 800 RPM, delivering incredible cutting power through dense, resin-rich Southern Yellow Pine. Watching this blade slice through timber of this size really shows the capability of old-school American machinery built to last.

To move this log accurately and safely, we’re also using a COX Bros carriage, known for its durability, precision, and smooth operation. Combined with the massive saw and high-horsepower motor, this setup creates a perfect blend of speed, accuracy, and raw strength.

Whether you’re into sawmills, woodworking, logging, timber framing, big timbers, or just love watching powerful machinery go to work, this video brings you up close to the action. Southern Yellow Pine is one of the strongest softwoods in North America, and cutting full 12x12s from a 26-foot log is no small task — making this a great educational and entertaining look into real-world sawmill operations.

In this video you’ll see:
• Full-power passes with a 66” circular saw
• The 300 HP motor working at 800 RPM under load
• The COX Bros carriage handling a massive log
• Southern Yellow Pine being milled into 12x12 beams
• Authentic sawmill workflow, angles, and sound
