first mill
If you are looking for a CSM then there are many around for sale, Alaskan Mill,
www.granberg.com there are often second hand ones for sale on eBay , another CSM and one that beats the Alaskan chainsaw type hands down is the Ripsaw,
www.ripsaw.com
its really a bandsaw driven by a chainsaw motor, it has less capacity than some of the chainsaw mills, but can still handle logs of 20 inches across if you turn them.
It all depends on how much cash you have, how much and what type of timber you are going to cut, how much you can collect, get for nothing, etc, if you can get timber for free then your are laughing all the way to the bank, if you need to process the wood quickly, then >
> Ripsaw is the one to have there, backed by a CSM, if you want an easier life than the back breaking work of the CSM, then its one of the portable bandsaw mills, and >
> one that is often overlooked is the Alaska Bandsaw mill,
www.alaskabandsawmills.com this is a real alternative to many others costing four times the amount of cash than most of the branded bandsaw mill it has real potential and is fully portable by ATV if needed, and can get to place where most of the others cannot.
Hope this is of help
