Best beginner sawmill for wide logs?

[Mousebob]

I have a lot of large doug for and maple on my property in western Washington and wanted to get started milling.

Due to the diameter of my trees, I was thinking the HM130 max would be a good option. Are there other beginner mills I should consider in this same price range that have the same capacity?

Harbor Freight offers one if you are willing to 'tweak' it a bit.

Does that one also fit 30" diameter logs?

Not a clue as I don't mill logs. I suggest you check the specs on their website.

Build one; this cost $1,000 plus the saw. $500 of that was for the trailer frame with registration.
