Don't do it! I'd urge you to consider the over 80 manufacturers of bandsaw mills produced in North America.

 

Woodmizer are OK, but you'd get a new one imported from the US for the price of a used mill here. The cantilevered, single post head can make for wobbly boards, and a 28 inch throat is quite small.

 

If 28 inches is enough for you, I was speaking to these folk about this mill:

It's an absolute monster and built like a tank. Almost too heavy and long for the UK!

 

Just my two cents!

I cannot agree more. Woodmizer are grosly overrated and over priced, for all the reasons listed by J, but above all the poor quality of cut.

Hahahaha! Not long after this, for lack of an alternative, I got an LT40.

 

It's been OK, but it's a very complicated machine, has limited throat but tends to cut quite well. Woodmizer are going to have to offer me some incentives to get me to buy another when I replace it in 10-12 months time!

Are you still looking for a timber mill. I am the Southern UK dealer for TimberKing and have a 2000 ex demo for sale. Take a look at TimberKing - Portable Sawmills Since 1929 to see one in opertion. There is no magic in the camera, they really are this impressive.
