Good morning, I was looking on line at Harbor Freight for a spare tire for my trailer and was a little suprised to see they are featuring a portable sawmill for 1,999.99; a Central Machinery Industrial 67138 Portable Sawmill. I just found it interesting that this aspect of woodworking- the milling process is now widely available to everyman. I am just posting for general interest.

Initial reviews were good and they are already backordered. I've been generally aware of this level of mill, didn't realize they approached this pricing although it appears to go through blades so ad that expense to the process.


Specs:
  • Maximum log diameter: 22"
  • Maximum board width: 20"
  • Blade size: 1-1/4" W x 144" L x 0.048" T
  • 1 TPI
  • Maximum output: 7.0/4000 HP/RPM
  • Expected arrival date: 5/9
  • Overweight Item subject to $89.95 additional Freight Charge
