Title: Anyone hear of the super wide Cook's mill?
Post by: caudlefarm on July 13, 2017, 11:33:10 AM
It is the second issue of Cook's magazine.  Able to cut 52" wide boards for $12,500

I understand Steve (ladylake) called and ask about it. I think its not ready to sell yet, maybe wrong. But they need to raise the height on the machine. It will not go up near what it will cut wide. Sure will be nice when they get it right if they haven't yet.

The one in the first vid would only go 31" above the deck but it was a prototype ,  58" above sounds great, no thick slabs.  Steve
