Arthur,
 What is the official name for the mini mill? Will it swing 180 degrees like the Eco-pro? I don't find any info on your site about this.

woodbowl

name is the EcoSaw MiniMill.  No specs yet due to input from Lindsay and you all.  Rough idea is the same as the normal EcoSaw but 1/4 size.  Current weight is only 120kg with a 9hp petrol engine.  log size is limited to lessthan 600mm and lessthan 3.8m long.

blade depth will be between 4 and 5 inch with doublecut making twice this.  We do have a price goal of US$6000 but thats a hard one.  Lindsay is realy pushing me on this one.  I have only one prototype at the moment and Lindsay will have the next for initial shows in the USA.

Its been over 12 months development so far but we want to get it perfect before launch.

thanks for the interest and input

Arthur,
    The Moultrie Georgia expo will be comming up in october. Do you think the Eco-mini will be ready in time to make this show? What are the USA shows and dates that you plan to attend? Also, do you have any pictures that you can share at this time?

I know Lindsay intends to be at the Georgia show.  He will have at least one of the EcoSaws there.  If ready I will bring the MiniMill as hand lugage.

Pics will be as soon as we are statisfied with all mods.  Dont want to show something we wont be supplying.

 Hand luggage?  A sawmill in a suitcase?.......... HHHHmmmmmmm ........Now........I just want to see that Eco- mini ??? I'm really looking forward to the Moultrie expo.---------Did I understand that the blade pivots 180 degrees and can saw on each side of the cant rather than the usual 90 degrees?

ALL the EcoSaw range of Mills swing 180 except the chainsaw / slabber unit.  However we do have one chainsaw unit we are working on for the bottom  end of the market which swings 90 degree.

I better get on and do a MiniMill in stainless for the show then!!!

just got the MiniMill endframes working so descided to put our standard rails on to see what they look like.  Fellover laughing so hard it hertz.

Tomorrow im adding another 8m of rails so will end up with 16m in length.  We are installing the slabber first with an 088 Magnum and 36" bar.  When running I will take some pics and upload.

You all can have a good laugh as well.

Its actually a serious mill just first time seeing it next to one of the big ones.  Like comparing a little Fiat 500 with a big American V8.

Does the same things but can actually be fun to use.
