I've been around band mills, round blade mills, and the so-called Alaskan chainsaw mills. The best fastest is the round blade mill with a carriage. Dad had a guy out to saw with a band mill this fall as soon as the blade got the least bit dull it would go to cutting a surf board wave in the log. If it is pushed to fast it will wave. The chainsaw set up is fine for a few short boards otherwise you will collect a pension check before you get done sawing a decent log. The old circular with the carriage will out saw them with accurate cut lumber. Can saw a truck load in a morning or afternoon. We used to take a couple loads of logs down to get sawed. This is a single axle truck and bring back a load of lumber in an afternoon. We have sawn lumber for 2 polebarns a freestall barn and multiple gates and wagons. The pole barns 1 is from Elm 32x30 the next is 40x80 Elm with an extension of 20 feet out of Ash and Oak the Freestall barn is 62x62 with a hay mow above the stalls. All Ash,Oak,Basswood and some left over Elm. I would hire the sawing done or set up a regular mill. There was one setting at the corner of M-57 and the road coming north out of Elsie MI. Don't know anything about it except it was setting there. Has been almost a year since I was by there.
