Which mill

[trigger_andy]

This is a 24” at the butt Stikka I’ve just loaded up. (The wrong way around, grrr) 18” at the other end. And my wee cart I use to move the beams around on. ?

To make life easier on my back I slide the scabs off and cut them to size as I go then split at a later date to get bagged up.

It’s a simple set up but therapeutic.

Have you thought about Wood-Mizer LT15? There is a WIDE version:

• logs up to 90cm wide logs
• 11kw electric motor or 25 HP Petrol engine

 

*Disclaimer, I am a Wood-Mizer employee. Genuinely want to know if you have considered LT15.

how have you gotten on with the hm126, a move up to the 130max would be a simple one as you are already familiar with the setup, the logosol is a nice machine, but then your starting the learning curve again, ok it has some very nice pluses, ultimatley the choice will be yours, but I would try and get a session on the  machines your looking at, it can be the best mill in the world, but if your not comfortable with it,it might as well be the worst

You will be looking at 15k for a decent woodmizer setup

Does this come standard with setworks? I've been using a 3 phase LT20 Woodmizer for 5 years or so now and I don't think I would buy a mill that didn't have setworks or a similar set up. That said, most of what I would usually cut consists of dimensional lumber rather than waney edge through and through boards. I have also used the Diesel LT40 Woodmizer with hydraulics and also a woodlands HM130 which I wasn't really that impressed with.

 

If you want to be cutting large wide timbers all the time you really need a powerful mill, running a smaller mill at 100% capacity all the time will end up wearing it out very quickly. Most importantly you would benefit from having something to load and unload the mill with

Setworks do make your life easier.

I must agree with you on that. If the budget allows it, it is a must.

100% ?

Oversize stuff I’ve been milling  is maxing out my standard 130, the milling is the easy part it’s the winching up logs and turning the cants etc that’s the hard part, probs taking nearly as much time as the cutting.
