New place is at 460 Beaudesert Rd, Salisbury. Make sure you call first, because we'll be out and about for most of the next month or so, trying to make some money after our recent move. We'll also be milling at various times at Wishart.

OK thanks Exador, will give you a call.

i had a 6in lucas mill with slabber, for several years and loved it . sad to part with it .got my buy price when i sold it .would possibly buy a petersen next time with their high ,low tracks ,easy log loading . if you can find a second hand one grab it . motors and gearboxes are very durable .and if the blades are serviced by some one who knows what they are doing . will turn your log to planks really quickly .used to send my blades to ace saws , . happy cutting . cheers bob

I have a 8" Lucas Mill and use it constantly. Lucas has a great backup service. Never used a Peterson before so cant compare but just my thoughts on the Lucas.
You could try Lucas Mills. They dont sell second hand mills but they have alot of people upgrading all the time so they may be able to put you onto someone.

i rang them and they aid to check the ipswitch country sompthing or other trading paper
