![]() ![]() Will be getting this working again the future for either the floors or walls. It's no doubt that the ability to mill your own lumber is pretty unique, I'm sorry for taking away from that. I apologize, I missed the "borrowed from my neighbor" part. Also with 4x4 and 6圆 etc you don't get the exact inch but lose a 1/4 of an inch sometimes more! :) I was able to saw the lumber to my specific needs (4x5, 5x5 etc). Now to buy the lumber to my specifications would cost a pretty penny as the nearest city didn't have 6圆 only 4x4 2圆, 2x8 etc. Try buying one from Harbor Freight now and you're looking at $1600 to $2000 easy.Ģx Sawblades (both of which are still in good condition and are there next time I need to use it :) ) I didn't pay a red cent for the sawmill but my good friend and neighbor did and he paid a little over a grand. Where did you get the $3,000 from Mr Pin? So I view purchase of a quality "minimill" as getting my foot in the door.īut PLEASE if there are any other users out there post to this thread about use etc.You just bought a $3000 saw mill to make your own lumber which you could buy for less than $1200. When I mentioned "I could do that, might take a bit longer" she was REAL interested (now what do I have to build?). ![]() Just today there is/was a mini-ex, looked like about a 24" bucket, 100hp? working on a house near us. After I dug out my first stump she saw the use for the backhoe and tractor. But it's a lot easier to convince SWMBO that I need a bigger one after I prove the utility of the entry level model than that I need a big one to start with.Īfter I CSM'ed up my first tree she saw some utility in it, but not $10K utility. a printing and newspaper office ( whence the Chetco Harbor Herald. I know I will probably need a much larger one later on, like I will need a larger tractor. There is a sawmill at the mouth of the river, which prepares a small quantity of. It's beginning to look like the ideal size for my "intermediate" need. ![]() Also they seem to be sold on ebay under the name of hudonsledsalvage. I've found one fellow on another web site that writes like he has one. Well OBVIOUSLY there are not enough interested users on this site that have one of these units. Sure they can cut, but they still end up with what I like to call the perfect female board, beautiful curves Some guys with big machines feel they can cut no matter what just because they have 20-30-50hp engine. The reason being is I take the time before I cut, sharp blade and making sure the miil is ready. I have done logs for folks with my small machine and have made MUCH better lumber then some of the big guns. Sharp blades, alinement, clean belt wheels etc. The key to any mill is learn the in and outs of the machine. I looked at the 18 but for the few extra $$$. Their main plant is about 30miles from me. I can tell you some about the Hud-Son oscar's though, I own the 28 model. Newbury, I can't help you with the HF model, except that it does look cheap? I'm sure you could mount it on a 6圆 or steal rail and that would make a difference. Is it like an honest politician? military intelligence? ( 322 ) Klawock Harbor Entrance Light 2 ( 55 33.4'N. I could not find ANY reports from someone who actually bought one.ĭoes anyone have any hands on experience with one? Two general stores, an airstrip, a sawmill, and a cannery are here. One forum owner flamed me because I quoted him. Based on the PICTURE- only 1 or 2 poster even noticed it's supported by Hud-Son. Harbor Freight has a sawmill - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices that looks like a mini Hud-Son Oscar 18 portable sawmills, portable sawmill, band mill Portable Sawmills, Bandmills, Sawmilling Equipment, accessories Hud-Son, has phone support from Hud-Son salvage and costs, if you can use a coupon, $1850 +sh versus the $3000 of the Oscar 18,Īll the other forums have several threads, LONG threads, about how this is a cheap knockoff. Thanks to tractorbynet I found a couple of other sites/forums that talk about sawmills etc. I posted in the parts/repairs forum because of the HF thread, Make big things (trees) into small things (lumber).Īnd then make small things (lumber) into big things (buildings). One of the reasons I bought my tractor is to do what dads do. ![]()
