The band mill is the way to go!!! There's all kinds of horror stories to be told about every kind of mill, (and about every other tool too) but in the last 6 or 7 years i've owned a band mill, i've never had a band break and hurt me. That's what "common sense" is for, along with the guards on the mill!! Yes, you have to sharpen bands, but you have to sharpen circle blade teeth too, and what about hammering circle blades from time to time too!!! I own several bands and change them and resharpen them as needed. I've seen plenty of thick and thin boards come off circle mills too, it's all in keeping everything sharp and in tune with both mills!! Band mill is more prortable, need less hp, and are easier to keep running. Also they have that small kerf that really adds up in more lumber from your logs over time!! You can buy a new band mill complete for about $5,000.00, but it will be all manual, and a lot more work, compared to an $25,000.00 all hydraulic mill. The hydraulic mill won't turn out any better lumber though! All you have to do is open your wallet, and dial in the speed you want!!!!!!! Robert
