SAWMILL SERVICES NEAR ME PORTABLE

I've seen mills that aren't set up very well not produce very many bd ft per hour. I would like to make at least $75/hr with my 40hp diesel super LT40 which is a pretty fast machine for a portable. It really depends on what others in your area are charging and how many bd ft per hour you can saw. So if it's a slow day and we're only cutting 100bf/hr because I can't make up my mind or the log is difficult to handle I'm paying. When I pay by the hour no one is in a hurry to get the most bf cut and I end up with better quality lumber. I prefer to pay by the hour because I want to be involved in the decision making about what cuts are made. If logs are decked up, sawing on half is not a fair deal for the log owner if the logs are good grade. Oklahoma, not a Woodmizer owner but get most of my wood off of one. Just a guess here as I'm a county forester in E.

Sorry I cannot give you the cost for sawing, but consider a flat fee (typically $/BF) or sawing on shares where you get some of the lumber. The mill you have is excellent equipment. Look forward to see what is shared.įrom Gene Wengert, forum technical advisor: I know some people like to cut by the hour, I find I like it more by the lbf. Back then I did not charge a travel or setup fee. What is the going rate for cutting by the lbf? Seven years ago I was getting. I just decided to get a used mill (2006 HDD40 Woodmizer) and pick my hobby back up in South Louisiana (did miss doing it).

I have been out of the portable sawmill business for about seven years now (cut for 12 years before I got out).
