Title: Need opinion on Logosol LM40 saw mill
Post by: alsayyed on June 06, 2009, 01:50:56 AM

Hello friends last month I have received the Logosol catalog as I was going through the catalog I have found   this sawmill LM40 made by Logosol. I never heard about this saw mill before but at least better than chainsaw milling. I need opinion about this logosol LM40 saw mill has anybody purchased this sawmill before.
The reason I am asking because I am looking for reasonable price saw mill these days.

Here is their video at the YouTube

Is the drive belt also the band tire? if it is i'd think it would cause more problems say when you broke a blade and the blade got into the drive belt and cut it or even nicked it . it be an added expense may not happen every time but i'm pretty sure it would at some point

It is a Norwood mill.  I have one and for a manual mill it is very good.  Apparently Norwood has a deal now with logosol.  Logosol now makes a beam planer that rides on the norwood track. http://www.norwoodindustries.com/
