About 7 months into Wood Mizer LT 50 order

I'm trying but the last job she applied to had over 200 people apply and it is super niche stuff. Nobody wants to work anymore!!!

I have 3 years 'till "full retirement age" for Social Stupidity.  So I have some time to figure it out.  Maybe the mill will be supplemental income to fill the gap.  We will see.

Well ain't this just great, WM announced a battery operated LT 15 wide loaded for $26,000 + with a spring delivery in 2024 if pre ordered now which is a little over 6 months. So they have resources to develop a new product. Yeh Yeh, I know just a little upgrade to the LT 15 (ha ha) so it only takes 70 weeks (1 year and 5 months to deliver a $50,000 + LT 40/50 (to some of us guys) that has long been in production with minor changes over the years. Yea, I hear all the excuses given for WM for lack of production capability. :D

After 22 months of waiting for the LT50, I have cancelled my order. I seem to have missed the used market and wasn't able to sell my 40 for what I wanted with a boatload of spare parts and blades and my mobile sawing season basically over for 4-5 months. After much internal debate, it just didn't make sense sped to money on a new mill. So, your wait just got bumped up by 1

Sorry to hear that but I think you may have dodged a bullet!  If the portable sawing market is slowing down right now it may be a bit before we see it crank back up so, with luck, you'll keep at it with the 40 and be in a better spot later...

Meanwhile, your new business venture of sharpening and setting all my bands might take off ;) :P  8)
