I don't think that I'd want to arm wrestle any of these guys! It's amazing what they accomplished with minimal tools and a lot of skill / hard work.

Does anyone have an idea of what a reasonable price on a Norwood Lumbermate 2000 would be? No idea on hours but from the pictures it looks like it's seen some use. 20 hp with an extension. Any experience trying to find parts for this mill, now that it's discontinued? One recently came up for sale in my area and I was hoping to have a little more background on these mills before I talked to the seller about it. Read More

I installed the Woodmizer Power Feed on my LT15 3 weeks ago. My first comment is "why did I wait so long!". It is great and saves so much hard work, especially easy on my back.

A few details, this is an electric mill that is stationary.

Now for the problem. It worked great last week but today I ran into problems. First, even though I took the rope off the end when not in use, it was too loose and needed tightened (a new knot). Now when I put the head in reverse, the mill shuts off. It works fine moving forward but not in reverse. My solution while sawing a very large red oak was to move the head back manually.Read More
