I have tried the micro mill on two houses, cutting window and door openings, triming wall ends and making flat cuts. It is, without question, the best I have ever used and, with proper saw maintenance and a well fitted guide board, it can produce an exceptional cut - use it on your next building. Thanks Dare!   B.

I've been milling timber with different chainsaw mills for over 20 years. I heard good things about the Micro Mill from a friend of mine so I borrowed it to mill some timber in the back 40 of my farm. The best thing about this Micro Mill is that I can clamp anywhere on the cutting bar. This allows me to adjust the cutting depth to suit the diameter of the log. Unlike other milling devices that require a special drill bit to drill mounting holes and once there drilled that's where they stay. Once you have completed your first edge cut. Rotate the flat 90 degrees to the top and re-mount the guide board. This is where the Micro Mill boasts a huge advantage over other milling devices I've used. With the Micro Mill mounted on the guide board set the depth of cut so you do not cut all the way through the bottom of the log! 20 years of milling experience and this little mill has me excited! Why? That simple innovation of being able to set your depth of cut changes the whole system of milling lumber with a chainsaw mill. Now, begin slabbing. Make your first cut along the length of the log, then move the guide board over the distance equal to the thickness of board you desire. A measuring tape helps keep the boards parallel. Continue slabbing cuts and moving the guide board in the same direction until you run out of wood to mount the guide board to. Rotate the Micro Mill 180 degrees and finish slabbing the remainder of the log moving the guide board in the opposite direction. Note: you may have to mount the guide board to the area that was just slabbed. This technique allows you to rotate the log one last time and begin parting off your dimensional lumber. The Micro Mills concept is similar to other milling devices like the Haddon Lumbermaker and the Beam Machine but unfortunately they both lack the ability to set the depth of cut. Even the Alaskan Mill requires the purchase of a second Mini Mill to part off dimensional lumber, which becomes very complicated and costly. My friend received his Micro Mill fully assembled and ready to go to work. The Micro Mill's key feature is the clamping system, which uses serrated tungsten carbide grippers to bite into the hardened metal of the cutting bar. The clamp is securely held in place and swivels on two sealed precision bearings. There is absolutely no play in this mill! I like the fact that this design kept what proved to work in the past and combined it with space age materials and technology. The Micro Mill is very well built and robust. The winner hands down.
