Thanks for posting. I was considering asking the same thing. I am new to milling (have not purchased yet) and joined this group to learn before I buy. I think...
It will cut fine, just watch out for kickback. Ripping chain is NOT anti-kickback chain, watch it closely, and don't get your head in line with the bar. ... ...
Seriously? I've also noticed that this chain has almost zero kickback. I mean, when I bump a log with the tip of my bar with a crosscut chain, it certainly...

Dirk, Were you using full chisel cross-cutting chain? If so, the reduced number of cutters on a ripping chain may have allowed your saw to run at a higher RPM....
The first thing you need to do is figure out how much wood you are going to need, how much space you have to store it/dry it, how much money you want to sink...

I found a used Wood-Mizer LT70 that is for sale. It is probably more saw than I need, but I think the price may be to good to pass up. I am looking for some...
Hmmm, an LT70 for your first bandmill. Was your first car a Lamborghini? Wood-Mizer is an excellent company and the LT70 is a top of the line mill. The...
$37500 is a lot of money when you want to mill for yourself. I have my own built mill and it costs me no more than $1000. See the difference. I find it...
Depends on what the guy wants to do with it. If he's a hobbyist and will only run the thing once a month, it's overkill as far as I'm concerned. Then again, if...
I am very keen to speak to someone who has some experience of the Paterson Portable Mill. I am thinking of getting one of these being attracted by their...

Check with Woodmizer.com for a list of sawyers in the Prairie area, they hooked me up with a fellow a couple of years ago. I have lost his number but will look...
The first thing that comes to mind is bi-directionality. You can go both directions with the P with almost no effort. With the Lucas, you have to pick the...
Holy cow! I never knew that. That seems like a huge difference... Thanks. So you can cut both ways with the P, but with the L i'd need to bring my blade back...
Also, the Lucas is more difficult to raise and lower. You have to change the height adjustment at both ends of the tracks. The Peterson uses one mechanism for...
Yep, that's my understanding. If you look back in this forum you will find some discussion of things people have rigged to turn their lucas mill's I think....
The Lucas does cut both ways, each down and back gives 1 board cut to dimension up to 8"x8" (6x6 on the smaller mill). The height adjustments are manual at...

He means "cuts both ways" with out turning the head around to get 16" wide!!!! Robert...
Thanks for the correction guys, that's a big difference of the Peterson over the Lucas. I decided to check out the Peterson mill a little more to see what...
