Anyone?

How much cheaper are they than the Alaskan equivalent? Be interested to hear how it performs. Cheers

 

48" alaskan £320 this one £85.

Huh, quite a difference, thanks.

 

Was toying with the idea of getting an Alaskan so I can make more use of wood than just firewood in the future. But in reality, I'd probably try it once or twice then never again - so they'd be some quite expensive planks! At £85, it's a lot more tempting...

I think with the 'original' Alaskan, you're paying as much for the intellectual property of the manufacturer & product development, as you are for the materials & the named brand.

 

I'm tempted.

[Ghettoblaster]

Very very tempting!

I wonder if they sell the just the profile and in longer lengths?

There are a few mods I would like to make to my larger mill!

[Stevedavid43]

can anybody who has one let us know what they are like please

[woodwizzard]

Should be here tomorrow or Thursday, so will give first impressions when it turns up.

I've just ordered one, it gotta be worth a punt at that price😀!

I hope this starts a backlash with Alaskan selling salt and chilli tiger prawns for 50p a portion.

[Couldyajust]

I'm tempted at that price as I suspect a mill would probably spend most of its time gathering dust with me so it is not cost effective to spend much.

If I used one the standard 24" or 28" bars on my primary (80cc) saw would probably be adequate for the bulk of what I would mill, would it be better to buy the larger 48" mill for the relatively small difference in price to give myself the option of using bigger saws if needed or would I be better off just getting the 30" mill & upgrading at a later date if I did get into milling.

The feedback on ebay for the ones they've sold seems OK.

 

It would be great to get an informed review here from someone.
