Well I broke down and ordered the norwood lm 29 with the trailer package. I've read nothing but good things about them on line hope I made a good choice :'(  Any one got any info on this machine?

jdw,welcome to the forum. I can think of a couple happy Norwood owners here on the forum. What's the lumber going to be used for?

Ah-ha! Switched directions from the Frick 00.  Sounds like a good move, considering the various posts made in previous threads.

I'm hoping to sale lumber. I'm a little worried I won't be able to keep up with demand on a band mill. I know I couldn't with the Hudson I had that thing was a man killer.  I got 8000 bf sold but got to get it cut first ;D now I just got to buy a edger ::)

Congratulations on the mill!  I recommend the bigger engine option, and the toe rollers can be very useful.  It is a very capable mill, and well designed.  Sounds like you've already got most of the other equipment.  Assembly is pretty straightforward as long as you follow the instructions.

the only problem I have had with my LM 29 is the tension cable on the head lift .They are quick to get parts to you and my mill will work harder than I want to ! All kidding aside its a great little mill if you really want move through some trees you will need a helper I use my kids ! the work for cheese burgers !
I like the smell of saw dust in the mornings !I have a crescent wrench and I know how to use it ! The best hammer I have ever owned !
