It has struck me more than once that I don't see how a little guy can be successful running a full time milling business if they didn't have really good mechanical and electrical skills.

Well, thought I'd post a quick first impression that will surprise no one. Man I love this beast. I dropped a big SYP (about 36" dia at base) and spent a couple of days milling it. What a great saw. Stepping up from my LT35 HDD, I didn't expect as much "up". So much faster, down the track and back. I really have to watch and stay in tune with the machine. Ran double hard T7's and cut like a dream, until I hit 8 nails in one cut :veryangry:Read More
