Hello all, being lurking about for awhile but this is my first post. Great site. I was just about to the pull the trigger on a CSM (bought a fairly big saw) but had an old bandsaw mill pop up for sale just around the corner from me and bought it. It is a Board Bandit and I can't seem to find any information on the make. The paint is faded but I can make out that it was made in Canada, Marmora I think . Has anyone here come across one? Cuts a 24 ft log with the extention and is trailer mounted. I have only milled a small log, still waiting for the new blades to arrive. The previous owner said he figured the blade guides were worn due to a wavy cuts on thick logs (20+inches), the guides looked ok to me but I really don't know what to look for. Is it more likely that it was a dull blade? The old mill looks rough but the motor hums (18hp) and the track is straight. I'll post some before and after pics, its going to be sand blasted and painted this weekend. Can't wait to make some boards.
