Currently I can buy a brand spanking new WM LT10 for just under $3K, the few used "hobby mills" I have found on the internet for sale have been listed for nearly as much as a new mill or even more.  I haven't been looking for very long but the sale price on the WM looks better every day....am I way off on my observation?  What is a fair price for one of these entry level mills?

Lots of Hobby Mills.....Lots of prices. If I were you, I'd buy the new WMLT 10. You can't go wrong.

From my experience, buying something used is buying someone else's troubles.

You'll love the Woodmizer! I know.....I have one.

I bought my Hudson used. With in a week of owning it, I had to replace the cam shaft. Had I not been in such a rush to get a mill "now", I would have probably bought a Woodmizer 10 or 15. That is water under the bridge now. I am glad I purchased a mill though, it has opened up so many new things for me, new friends, new hobbby, new place to visit regularly (the Forum).  :)

I have been running my lt10 for about 2 months,and it has proved strong. It has cut a couple thousand b/f. Most of what i cut so far has been reclaimed barn timbers,very very hard stuff. I would have liked to upgraded the moter but couldnt.but if your in the market you wont be disapointed with lt10. It is very strong built and buying new I had the woodmizer name to help me along the way.I rate me experience 9/10 over all. Hope that helps you some.

Thanks, I think the LT10 is the best bang for the buck, I have another month or two of shopping around (stil sitting in Iraq).  Been purchasing parts to build a chainsaw based slabbing mill, would like to build my carriage to be able to use the bandmill I end up buying, anybody have the width of the WM LT10 center of guide wheel to center of guide wheel?
