want a mill or processor? Check out Sawmill & Woodlot...
« on: November 01, 2009, 09:28:19 am »
HI,

Just getting around to the Oct/Nov issue of Sawmill and Woodlot management and it has a nice breakdown of the "Great portable sawmill shootout" and "Great firewood processing equipment competition"  It has a nice breakdown of a wide variety of mills and processors and how they fared in the competition.  I would think it would be a very handy way for someone to compare different brands and style of mill.  Swing blades and a chainsaw mills are there with  most brands of bandmill.

  • Best way to make the most money with a portable mill is to cut the least lumber you can.

My daughter found two pictures with me in the background.  Her vision is a lot better then mine cause I didn't notice (me).  Looking forward to going back in 2011.

Just added a subscription to the magazine.

It took me 3 hours just to read the shootout article; that was worth the cost right there. 

An east coast affair I suppose?  Can someone tell what yellow popular is like?

I thought the swing mills would have won the competition.  I would like to see the same competition as a one person operation, that is the way many of use operate.
