REVIEW - Westford Chainsaw Mill - www.onlinetoolreviews.com

Good review, but you left out a note on the amount of sweat equity and muscle aches you must provide with such mills. I used an Alaskan Chainsaw mill many years ago, and a friend and I worked our butts into the ground getting a decent amount of usable lumber, most hard maple, but some oak and shagbark hickory (chain killer). Chail oil and chains have a way of chewing up a budget, too, while the time spent sharpening chains becomes quite significant after a few logs. As you say, though, the price is way under the cost of a bandsaw mill thus makes the investment worthwhile...for the younger and healthier among us.
