Quartersawing, April 22, 2008
By axjpg from Europe Luxembourg

"Sure, the mini mill G555B is not the thing to get quartersawn lumber straight away.
(It's a method of cutting a log that results in the growth rings intersecting the face of the board at an angle between 60 and 90 degrees.)
But in combination with a carriage mill (like the LOGOSOL M7 or others) you get a substantial complement.
Especially, if you are dealing with large diameter logs.
In fact, I have the opportunity of quarter sawing white oak here in the "Grand Duchy of Luxembourg" (Europe). They typically are 24" in diameter and due to their weight, it is a real issue to get them on the top of the mill!
It's not only time consuming to raise them up but also dangerous to quarter them in the usual way.
With the aid of the mini mill, I'm now able to quarter them virtually on floor level. Doing so, weight is also quartered.
The accuracy of the (4) right angeled pieces is amazing!
No stress and much less sweat!"

Easy for first timer, April 21, 2008
By schmaz from Pinnacle, NC

"Somehow I got a bug to create my own beams and boards, as I have many Pine and Oak trees in my back yard....After doing the research I ended up purchasing this mini-mill....Very impressed at the simplicity and ease of operation.....The aluminum rail that is mounted to the 2X8 is a bit weaker than I had hoped, but a few extra drill holes and screws and I was good to go. It obviously helps to have a solid chain saw and sharp chain, but creating your own lumber is fun, green, and economical. I plan on building a tool shed with the lumber.....good purchase."

Mini Mill, October 15, 2007
By Dadio from Georgia

"Works exactly as advertised! Be sure your chain is sharp and oiled. You may want to get a chain sharpener, too. I am using it to quartersaw a red oak we had to cut down this summer. The wood is beatiful!
Don't kid yourself though, chainsaw milling is hard work and very time consuming.
I guess I'm just crazy enough to enjoy it."
