Woodland mills 722 portable sawmill

[300zx_tt]

whats up guys! I'm looking to get into milling. I was wondering if anyone has heard of woodland mills, or has any experience with the 722 model they offer. I'm a newbie when it comes to bandsaw mills but for $2000 it seems like you get a pretty decent little rig.

Other than how small it is do you pros see any negatives?

I don't think I'd mill anything bigger than 22" diameter on a regular basis. Overall I think it's a decent starter size at a price that won't break the bank, and it's cheap enough to see if I want to dive into milling.


What do y'all think?

How do you like the mill? Is it Built well? Do you have any complaints about it?

for a entry level mill its fine. it needs a few small things to make it better.the biggest thing is you need a loader to get the logs on. i made a winch set up to drag the logs on. i dislike the lube set up . i use a garden hose to flood the blade with water. i put my rig on a trailer. my plan is to make lumber for some project,s and table,s etc.. this is a good price for beginers.

I figured it lacked some features lol but 2000 bucks to get into bandsaw milling isn't bad considering a stihl 066 or similar and an Alaskan mill will run you about 12-1300 bucks.

Thanks for the info!
