Skill Saw Portable Elect Mill

[jandc]

I'm almost buying a Skillmill

Problem is there isn't a dealer in my area so i can't see it milling some lumber
Can anyone post a video during milling some oak other hardwood

and not the standard Skillmill promo video's

thanks,

mathuranatha could u post some pictures during milling and of the wood that's milled. Does is give a smooth cut on the lumber?
Can you actually mill 4m long boards or is it less, could u measure that
Maybe if you have a camera could make a video of milling a tree?

Do you have an idea of how long the blades last when milling oak, and are they easy to sharpen?

Thanks for your info!

Sorry I dont have a camera or video cam at the moment.If you want to roll the logs under the rail and between the end rail supports you can only mill 3.8 meters but if you set up the mill over a log its a bit over 4 meters .Oak doesnt grow here , Ive only been milling campour larel and hoop pine ,both soft and the blades last well .Yep easy to sharpen.Smooth as any sawn timber . Still needs to be plained or sanded a bit.----mat

That looks like a good deal to me?
it would be the skillmill or the logosol E8000 electric chainsaw with M7 alike wooden frame

What would work the best?
