Has anyone here laid eyes on (other than Youtube) or hands on the new Logosol bandmill?  Looks pretty slick.  If so, what did you think?  It seems to be one of the many contenders in the 4-post manual operation hobby market.  Some of the design features appear unique to the mill.  I used to have a Logosol M6 chainsaw mill years ago, so I can attest to the quality already.

If I'm not mistaken Bailey's handles their equipment here in the U.S.  Don't see it listed on their site.  I did watch a You-tube on it.  Looks nice.  I noticed the water drip seems to be a little high and when it was running the water looked like it beaded off the blade.  I had a Cook's MP-32 and liked the felt-swabbing system.

And all this time I thought it was LOG-o-sol :D  Looks like a well thought out mill and I really enjoyed the slightly awkward Swedish to English translation.

I like the band wheel/ fan combo idea. Slicker then snott on a doorknob. Not sure how much hormones it has but possibly hook a hose up to the sawdust output and get all that stuff where it should be(not in my shorts)...

I love my Logosol M7.  I wonder how much this new mill costs?  Gary

Very nice band mill, the Swedes do things right, wonder what they sell to sharpen and set bands.?? Frank C.

Around minute 2:20  it shows the roller guide with considerable band sticking out beyond the roller. What is considered too much band overhang beyond the guide.?? Frank C.

Rich,  are we talking about the same mill?  This logosol doesn't doesn't look anything like a Norwood, even the new imported mill IMO.  I think the Norwood import resembles the Woodland Mills lineup.

I am curious is this B751 will be availabe in the States.

That is one of if not the most impressive manual mills I have seen.
Very well thought out.  With a 25hp honda that would be an awesome little mill.

That's exactly what I thought - it would be nice to see a larger engine option compared to the 13hp as advertised.

*DanG, wish I saw this a little sooner. I would have incorporated some of their features in my build.

Looks like they just started to offer it or are still building their website out to accommodate this new item, at least we have a price now.

What I noticed is those Swedish guys are tough, They can get by with a cant hook you can stick in your pocket.
