 I was just being a youtube bum a few mins ago and found this video....  Very interesting to say the least.  :)

Looks a bit on the slow, deliberate side. And not showing much on getting rid of slabs and boards.  
And I'd bet the cost is outstanding as well.
But it was an interesting video, and thanks for the enlightenment. ;)

Really nice mill.

Seems to be a little rough on turning cants!

I like the sawdust collection system!

Way out of my budget, but nice!

Yea but it just might be German! :P  checking now.

Yup German! Looks like head office in Hanover. Will have pricing mid week.

I'm quite happy getting the exercise pushing my Rimu twinsaw in the hot sun.  Maybe in another ten years or so.  I'll get myself one for my 80th birthday. :D

I enjoyed watching it.  After today, it's fun watching someone else saw.   ;D

Interesting but I wouldn't say better. I reminds me a bit of my first saw, a Breezewood. It had a seat that allowed the sawyer to have the same view. The problem is it is not a one man machine when there is a seat on the machine, an off bearer is needed. IMO, the double turner and double clamping system look rather cumbersome. I do like the sawdust catcher though.

Awwwww......no, this is the best mouse trap 8)

Those mousetraps are fine as long as you have steel toed boots on.... kinda hard on toes otherwise.  :D  :D  Don't ask how I know.

Nice mill!  I could probably afford a single hydraulic lifter and maybe even one saw blade!

Looks like a good solid mill that is not short on options.

It looks like a neat mill but I don't see the need for two debarkers. I would also put a green chain on the off load side to help keep things from falling on the mill.

I got to thinking about what the hydraulic schematic would look like.  Must be miles and miles of hoses and hundreds of valves and motors.

The hydraulic valves must be electric operated.  You couldn't drag hoses back and forth from the cab.

If you want it done right the first time you need at least one German. If you want it screwed up RIGHT the first time you still need a German.

i agree on the second debarker

That's one of the first things that I noticed about it :) It's always been one thing that I could never figure out about the mills that I've seen where the companies brag about the debarker  and how it saves the band as it goes in but in my mind it's always been what about the dirt and crap on the way out? I think this is a pretty good idea :)
Just one of many things that I think about before I buy a mill.

I just wonder if this mill has an option to saw coming and going?   Then the dual de-barkers would make more sense.

That would make more sense, Bibby. The whole set-up looks a bit over engineered, at least the way they present it. It would be neat to see one operating in real world conditions.
Too many irons in the fire

D Hagens

 But Bibby do your logs not have dirt and rocks on the side that the band comes through ??? :D :D
If you think long and hard about it what's the point of clearing one side of the log to save the band and let the band exit through crap and debris? Seems like a few saw companies could learn a few things from these guys 8) 8)
