Good bye woodmizer hello Timberking

[OliB]

Well, having spoken to Matt the timberking dealer in the U.K., it sounds like the 1600, for the money, can't do what the the 2000 or Lt 40 can do, in terms of log handling.

 

I think my main options are 2000 or Lt 40, and the 2000 is currently beyond my price range. Woodmizer have made me a great offer on the Lt 40, so I think I'm going to place the order. They can also deliver in 8 weeks rather than timberkings 12 weeks, and much of the funding for the mill is coming from the budget for building a new house, which needs timber sooner rather than later.

 

I'm not realistically going to scrape together the extra £7000 to make the step up from Lt 40 to 2000, so considering my first budget was for a Norwood mill I think I'm going to be very happy with the lt40, so long as i take care with setup. Woodmizer have thousands of happy customers, so even if the cantilever head isn't to everyone's satisfaction, I hope it will be to mine.

 

Thanks again for all the input!

It might just be our mills but I can't recall the mast ever being a problem as in rocking a wonky cut etc but this is only my experience with them. And ours is static which might factor?
