If you're thinking of buying a new Logosol B1001, have a look at the USA-made Thomas 3220.  It's what tops my list just now as I'm about to replace my Trekkasaw.  Similar spec to the Logosol, but it can tilt to cut featheredge boards.  The Logosol will only cut flat.  It's £1400 cheaper than the Logosol, but about £2500 for delivery, instead of £350!  But if someone else bought one same time as me and they were shipped together, the freight charge would go down enough to get it here for about the same price as the Logosol.

And how the hell would you get parts for it after a couple of years 

[dudders]

Email?  Sure, they'd cost more, and, if heavy, take longer to arrive, but what parts generally need replacing that you can't fix yourself?  One reason I'm looking at their gear, and also the Cooks mills, is that they seem to be made to a stronger spec than European/Chinese makes.  Honda engine parts can be found locally, so it's only the frame and track parts anyway - not exactly high-tech stuff.

£2500 shipping costs and no parts available for weeks if possible,Are you for real ???You cannot even try and test the thing.

Agreed, the shipping cost is a pain, but there's a price for a better mill.  Parts availability doesn't bother me - it's not likely I'll need much that I can't fix myself.  Never needed any parts for the Trekkasaw in 33 years.  

 

IMO it's a waste of time trying out all the mills available.  They'll all be smart and clean and working.  They cut wood - not a great technical achievement.
