I found Milling Beech could be a bitch. Seen sparks fly. Also found a stone in the middle of a Beech, thats always fun.

Bloody hell, thats good news. Like I said I did not put it though that much use really. Last 2 years and I maybe did 2-3 logs with it.  Everything was in the first year of ownership really and then I bought my Bandsaw Mill so it took a back-seat.

 

Very interesting that its on par with a 880 though. Was gonna buy a new 880 in the future if I ever started milling big logs again. I always assumed the 880 would have had a good bit more grunt.
