Want some input on milling shiplap and tounge and groove lumber. I own a sawmill and woodmaster planner/moulder. Want only enough to do inside and outside of 30X32 garage. Can do with planner but, seems like much set up and not certain I can do wider than 6". Someone mentioned a router? Any ideas?

Can't give you much info on shiplap, but use the search unction, you will find a lot of info, pros and cons of different methods.
Welcome to the forum.
shiplap is pretty easy to do with just a table saw. :)
I do small amounts of shiplap and T&G using my big 3hp router and a homemade router table. Works OK for small amounts, making toyboxes and fish tank stands etc. But I think if I was panelling a whole building (Twice) I'd either be looking for a shaper with a power feeder or hiring the job out to someone with a multihead planer / moulder.
A dedicated shaper might be a good investment to go with your other gear though?
Cheers
