Hi, this ad is my first venture into Arbtalk. I usually enjoy the to and fro of the comments! The mill has just been listed on eBay with a BUY NOW of £1300 but I am open to reasonable offers. Viewing for serious buyers is encouraged. Thanks for reading the ad. Steve This used sawmill is my LOGOSOL M8, 5 metres long. Included are a log ramp, saw carriage,winder mechanism, clamps and other useful accessories made by me. The mill is secured to a pressed galvanised steel base of my design which gives it extra rigidity and stability. It can also be used to tow the mill on one’s own property (not for road use). Logosol recommends fixing the mill to wooden sleepers for extra stability but the steel frame is much nicer and more effective. I have used this mill to make timber for my own projects, including fine furniture, gates, fencing, posts, doors, garden boxes, chicken shed, woodshed, retaining wall, and several more. It has had moderate private use and is in full working order with no corrosion. There are a couple of dings on the support poles and a few very small nicks on the slide rail, all filed and smooth. It is assembled and ready to go to work. I have used a Stihl MS660 saw with a 25” bar and a variety of ripping chains very successfully. This unit does not come with the saw because I will use that with my NEW LOGOSOL F2+ and a 28” bar. I have chosen the F2+ because I have a number of much larger trees which the F2+ is designed for. I stuck with LOGOSOL because of the exceptional service and product design and reliability. It has been a very useful tool and saved a large amount of money buying store lumber. I saw primarily oak, ash, larch and Scots pine. The M8 eats them all. You can saw EXACTLY the dimension you want rather than accepting from standard dimensions in the store. You can saw EXACTLY how you want the timber to come out. For example I generally quarter saw my oak which is ideal for furniture. The surface finish on the wood is exceptional and better than a bandsaw mill generally. A bandsaw mill is quicker but when the blade starts to wear it flutters and wanders and you need to plane it more than a chainsaw which is always perfectly flat. This means the ¼” kerf of the logosol is only a little more than the ⅛” kerf of a band saw. The M8 can handle up to 20” diameter logs easily, but, you can go much larger with ingenuity although there is more handling. A 4 metre log takes from about 90 seconds to 2 minutes to saw through and through. This depends on species, water content, degree of wear on the chain and chain type, mainly. My M8 uses a homemade gadget at the end of the guard bar to provide ‘bar nose steering’ which is very useful and is included. Overall this is a very nice mill with no surprises which will give a lot of enjoyment. Please message me with any questions, Thankyou. LINKS Here is a link to a LOGOSOL video on the M8. Spares and accessories are also available for it if needed from Logosol or their UK distributor Davies Implements.https://youtu.be/F2lmY8GITuQ?si=s32-OKqMNFJukRQS Here is a link to the comprehensive M8 manual. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U5u8uWkupy06NJmQtPnaQXnuw6vNn0TA/view?usp=sharing MORE INFORMATION Below are some snippets from other websites which I did not write, but they reflect my great experience with this mill. Swedish, portable, robust, exceptional accuracy The M8 works with any brand of chainsaw. This has to have two screws to secure the bar and chain.
