Ok we have seen the threads about the Brand X sawmill and the turbosaw and we all know about petersons and lucasses but how many of you have worked a KARA sawmill? I have and honestly they are a good thing heres the link Karasaw - Kallion Konepaja Oy check them out and see what you think!!!:2tsup:
bloody good machines they are.
bloke i know out aratula way just bought 2 of them for cutting flooring and stakes.
if anyones wondering what to get me for christmas.:;
that they are carl. There are a lot of good mills out there that are not wearing the lucas stamp.
Aratula, what a spot to go milling...lol caravan park, hotel/motel, a couple roadhouses, and an old wares store that opens 3 days a week oh and a school:D
Hmmm..nice big blade and looks fairly low maintenance...if you want all the goodies like log-lifters etc you gotta eventually pay the dues - TABS, as my old neighbour had carved on the barge-board of his shed...."There's Always Bloody Somethin" !!Quote:

Could you fit your big log up on that? Frame doesn't look solid enough.
And how many shekels?
Powersource? Looked like a tractor pto involved there.
Do they make a big size?
But how much is the main question.
fer what it's worth...
cheers, richie
yer there out the back in the hills.
run 4 lucas mills, 2 kara benches a multi saw and a #2 bench.
2 150hp tractors and a few trucks.
only started cutting out there 2 years ago.
what that you say you are bringing me a kara next week.:U
they will cut about up to a 600 diameter log.
you can have pto from tractor, electric or stationary engine running them.
tehy have a blower to suck the sawdust away from the saw.
Hey Carl, it was good to meet you at the wood-show. I'd like to see your kara bench in action - I'll call you in advance if I'm up that way at all.Quote:

cheers, richie
wish i had a kara one day i will. :C
yes richie they do make big ones, and as for the price thing as I once was told by a bloke selling rolex watches if you have to ask how much they are you can't afford one.:D they work well, they make resaw benches and all sorts. if you look further on their site you will see more.
I think I would be bringing myself one first mate!!!!:2tsup:Quote:
