CS Mill Dudes.....Can anyone tell me the brand of this mill rig????

[Cantdog]

This mill rig came with my Jonsereds 111S and the owner did not know the brand...not do I. It looks like a Grandberg sorta, but it travels on 3, 22" rolls and the ends that holds the roll shafts and the vertical adjustment tubes are cast alum....very nicely made unit. I don't know diddly about CS mills.....anyone seen one like this before and know what brand it is???? Any other info would also be appreciated....THanks!

It looks like a version of the 1960's/70's Sperber CSM

Well that dates probably correct.....From going over this 111S it seems the saw has never done any actual tree cutting.....I believe the mill and saw were bought at the same time....this saw has the old style logo....meaning it's probably 72-74 ish.... Never heard of Sperber.....good??...Bad???? Indifferent???? Do I even have it installed correctly??? LOL!!!

Would you mind moving the saw so we can see the other goodies hiding behind it.

Later model Sperber, if I recall the early ones just used square tube for the roller supports.

Sweet....the consensus is a late model Sperber......anyone ever use one?? Do I have it installed correctly???

Thanks guys for the complements on the shop.....I'll try and post up some pics of it.......without quite so much crap in the way...

Long story.....that is a very small part of a much larger machine....it was a 60 section commercial int/ext door making/clamping machine for around 1902.....I took that set of legs and axle and made it a manual, 4 section, rotating clamp carrier for gluing and clamping stair treads, cabinet doors, int/ext doors, flat panels ect......it wiill glue and clamp flat and square anything 7'-8" X 36"....really speeds things up in the shop when doing a run of stair treads or cabinet doors.....generally get two doors in each section....by the time you get all the way around the first two are ready to remove from the clamps......great rig for a 2-3 man shop.....
