    Hey guys want some input from everyone. I'm looking at a Norwood portable chainsaw mill. I will most likely set it up at a permanent spot not to really move. The price seems fairl decent at $999. The videos impressed me.

    Does anyone run one? Does any one have an opinion? I might of just shot myself in the foot with that question!

    From what I seen they look great.This is the one with the ''track'' that the saw rides on,correct? If its what I remember you walk along moving the saw through with a pulley system instead of the usual bending over ,kneeling on the ground & pushing it through the cuts.


    Sure wish they were around way back when I got mine.....

    What do you want a mill for? That will tell how much if any to invest and what to invest in .
