Nice! Make sure your adjustment "feet" are well attached to the PT timbers. A big log will move the mill. Don't ask how I know!  :D :D

Welcome, Jisgren to the Forum and the LT15 Club. Great choice of mill.  You have a nice setup

I second the suggestion to make sure mill is secure to your support beams. Loading and turning logs will move the mill. I put 6x6 supports perpendicular to the rails and slide stops on these horizontal to the rails to tie everything together. This allows the mill to move some but stay level. A good Logrite cant hook will be a big help flipping logs and moving the mill back where you want it when it moves. I use the cross beams for primary support and the factory levelers for secondary support and fine tuning like this.

   you can see the circles on the concrete where the mill usually sits.

Good luck. Let the fun begin

Not sure I like how high the mill sits up on the stock legs.  May modify them to sit lower.  Have a 48" and 60" Logrights!
