how does folks.

i've been toying with the idea of getting a woodmizer (or similar) for a while now but 1 thing or another has stopped me.

I'm after picking the brains of anyone willing to help. usual questions....

best machine

rates (hour or per board etc)

how much call is there (i'm based in south wales but will go just about anywhere)

running costs

etc.

 

any help or advice would be great, cheers in advance

cheers mate,

 

as for what i want to cut with it, i'll hopefully be planking mainly hardwood for myself, also larch for cladding planks.....and, and well, pretty much what ever people want.

also play about a bit with garden furniture etc

i got a ranger pick up so should be ok to tow most things although i am looing at a mitsi canter 7.5t tipper aswell.

 

thanks for the tip for the other mill (heart isnt fixed on wood mizer, its just a name everyone knows)

There are a lot of mills out there I am biased to woodmizer a as we use them also my dad got his first one in the 90's so a lot of experience with good results, I'd talk to reps and try to have a go with the different mills available, also u need good back up with any mill so see who can offer this.
