Comparison Between C.S Mill & Bandsaw Mill

Each has their own advantages.

Here's a couple of videos of operating mills

Alaskan Lumber Mill

and a Bandsaw Mill

The biggest hassle with a bandsaw mill is keeping them razor sharp so the band doesn't wander. This sharpener would be a great asset to a bs mill operator.

I'm seriously thinking of building a bs mill and a sharpener.
(The sharpoeners website is down, maybe they went broke) So it looks like I'll need to make the sharpener. I wouldn't have another bs mill without something like this.

The body of the sharpener looks similar to the one that comes with the Lucas mill - you'd just have to come up with the jig to hold it - easy eh!:;

Easy once you see it, not hard to make a sharpener.

Wish I hadn't sold me old BS mill now.

But I'll make another without some of the old mills vices.
