100Percent of FF Mighty Mite owners showed up. Both of us! I drove to Ak and stopped by and saw Alaska Les. He and and his wife were wonderful host. He has a really nice layout and lots of REALLY nice spruce to saw. Some HUGE Cottonwood and Birch also. He was catching Salmon and got a Spruce Grouse as we were riding around in his UTV.
His mill is a nice mill and will cut 26' long(I think) Diesel powered. Very nice layout

Yes, in a 26' Class C motorhome in 1997.  The total trip was a bit over 13K miles.

Les's was a factory hydraulic and very well built. Mine is the smaller model. Its all hydraulic now. Turning logs and clamping by hand didn't last long.

Hello all;
So if I own a Mighty Mite Band sawmill, can I join the group ?
Mine is a Generation ll. Built in 85.
Just brought it home last week.
Ordered a manual for it today.
The folks at Mighty Mite have been super helpful . Especially considering I didn't buy this mill new from them.
I will be sawing to build our home in Delta Junction , Alaska. We currently live in Glennallen .
I'm having some troubles uploading pics of my mill to this site so far. Ill keep working on it.
.
If your not wearing your hard hat when you need it. Well.
