....Beer is good.....
OK, so I'm wanting to do some milling, without breaking the bank hopefully.
The wood will all be softwood (primarily pine, since I have plenty on my property), but I'm sure I'll drag home some doug-fir or larch, maybe cedar on occasion.
I'm wanting an older saw with plenty of oomph, and oiling, to be just for milling purposes. Sure don't need an 880, but don't want a saw that's gonna take an hour per plank either.
Brand isn't an issue (shocking coming from me, I know).. Simple to work on and available parts would be a plus since I know milling is hard on saws.
Also, best bang for the buck on a CSM? My logs wont be over 24" diameter.
Any thoughts and advice is and would be very much appreciated!
