Has anyone done any milling with the basic mills that just slide on a 2x4? I got one of the Harbor Freight 'Lumber Makers' off Ebay not long ago and I used it to mill up a nice cherry cant. The cuts were not very square but that may have been my enthusiasm and lack of experience at work.
My main question is this--if I have a lumber maker already that can be guided on any 2x4 or 2x6 (you can also cut down both directions of the guide board to cut two sides of a beam at once)--is there enough quality difference with the Granberg Mini-Mill to justify buying it to edge cants and rip big logs into quarters?
