They are a bit thin on the ground.  Any reason you especially want a trekkasaw?

Hi, I currently run a chainsaw mill and am looking to upgrade to something a bit faster with a thinner kerf. Needs to be portable, as I get some big logs to mill in back gardens with poor access.

 

Have also thought about a swing mill, which would be useful for dimensional timber but not sure that slabbing bar would give much advantage over my current set up for wide boards.

Yeah fair enough, you clearly know what you are up to.

 

I would not want a Trekkasaw personally because of the wide blades.  Cost a fortune to buy and sharpen and really no better than a narrow band like on a Woodmizer.

 

A swing mill is a good bet, but of course if you mainly want slabs you are back to chainsaw milling.  The Pieterson has a neat trick to produce a double width board, but only about twenty inches I believe.  I used to run a Lucas mill, but eventually bought a band mill.

Thanks, and yes take your point on wide blade costs, which is a disadvantage.
