Shane, lets just say a bandsaw mill has been on my “dream” list for a long time. This is a info gathering attempt, but I’m thinking this may be the time. Where I live, its common to come across decent logs, plus, i can use it as a resaw bandsaw instead of buying a bigger bandsaw for my shop. Last, I burn firewood for heat, so buying firewood logs often turns up a decent log or 2 that just can’t get burnt.

I have no idea how to figure board footage from logs, but here is what he quoted the price off.

I just need to determine what price is right. I know I can justify something like $2400. Can I go more? Maybe. I know it will pay for itself over time.

I’ve thought about building one, but for the cost of some of these, especially used one, I don’t think its worth it.
