Got a deal on a Woodland Bumblebee sawmill last week. The thing is quite nice! I got it set up tuned up and milled 5 logs with it yesterday. Using the same 372 XPW I have used with my Alaskan III, I have to say, I am very impressed! it cuts faster than on the alaska mill, probably because the angle of the bar to the log is constant, and the feed winch really helps to keep the saw moving with very little effort. I didn't think I would like the bar oriented vertical, but after using it, I really like it. No wedging neeted, and the dogging system on this mill is very good. It is about twice as fast as the alaskan maybe 3 times faster. I can see the advantage of similar mills (procut, Logosol, etc) Too bad that they are not still in productions, these things are built!! I will get some pics up as I remember how to do it.....
