Hi All,

 

I'm looking to buy a second hand trekkasaw mill if anyone has one for sale? 

 

Thanks

Why not just get one of the modern narrow blade bandsaws?  Probably cheaper, brand new, and more efficient.

Have you got any recommendations?

What you are looking to cut will be a big factor in what to look out for. Maybe list what you expect it to do and what type and sizes of timber, maybe a budget too, that will help regard’s recommendations.

I can only go on my own experience.  I have used a Woodmizer for three years and am very impressed.  Didn’t break the bank, excellent UK based support, very efficient.

 

 There are threads on Arbtalk making other recommendations though.

I'm in aberdeenshire scotland. Mainly looking to cut softwood with the occasional bits of hardwood into timber I can use for other projects. Ideally be able to cut up to 1m diameter logs. Budget of around 10k

Thanks I will have a look at them. What model do you have if you don't mind me asking?

I have the LT15 classic wide, electric model.  Maximum width of cut 900mm in theory (a bit less now I have fitted the debarker).  Great machine; cost around £9700 including VAT, but may be a bit more now.  The petrol one is of course more expensive.

 

From memory I believe the Woodlands Mill ones are also well spoken of on Arbtalk.

I think the logosol 1001 is the only "low budget" bandsaw that can cut 1m.

I've a woodmizer lt15 diesel. They're alright. Probably wouldn't have one again. If you're working big logs you'll need a log turner fitted. They're just frustrating to use without, it wouldn't be hard to make one up for any mill if you were handy. I'm not, so I didn't.
