Wanted-Bandsaw Mill

[LeeGray]

Cheers for the comprehensive list...Certainly sounds well thought out and lots of plus points over my woodland. Definitely like the chain adjustment. Although the cable looks consistent it doesn’t feel very precise and would imagine it’ll be worse in years of use.

 

Was it much dearer? What bed length you going for?

 

 Would love to see it in the flesh, hopefully I’ll get to see it when I come up to get the stove ?

We have a woodland HM 130 but are looking closely at the logosaw one for the new year.

Standard Bed is 4.8m with 1.14m extensions. Ive not bothered with an extension yet but I have someone looking at getting a lot of Soft Wood Milled for an extension to his property, then Id need one or two sets. Plus I was maxed out on my budget anyway.   

 

Inc VAT the Woodland Mills 130 Woodlander XL, which was what I was going to buy was £7000. Around the same for the Norwood LT29 inc Trailer. The B751 was £6000 without the Trailer Package. The Trailer Package will add around £2500 to the Cost. It would be less if I waited till next summer and bought the PRO as the Bed will have the B1001 style and would have saved me over £500. Never mind, I cant wait that long.  

 

Yes, hopefully I'll be set up when you pop up for the Stove, which reminds me I need to get the Buffer Tank out the Lock-Up.

I'll make a report and vid once I get mine going.  Not sure how much help that would be to you as all I've ever done is Alaskan Milling.

Hi

Any plans for the 130 if you do go for the Logosol ??. I'm in a similar situation to what Trigger Andy was in ie wondering what direction to go in. Part of me thinks M8 then next day it's small band saw etc etc,tbh I'm tired of trying to work out what's the best option

We have work for both to be honest.Go for a bandsaw mill every time as the work involved using a chainsaw mill is cut by two thirds,If your on a budget then go for the woodland HM 122 as start from £2400 and chis pearce is a uk dealer and a good friend of mine and so helpful,I spoke to him last week about andy getting a hm 130.
