There's a Wood Mizer LT-15 bandsaw mill for sale in Henleyfield, MS (just north of the "boot" of Louisiana). If someone is looking to get into cutting rough lumber, you might want to take a look. Here's the link to the listing. I'm actually tempted to take a look.
Don, That is a steal! That mill is ~$8000 new. Just like mine but with 10 more HP (I assume that "25 gallon" really means 25 HP.) And that is less than I paid for mine! It is probably already sold.
I sent the seller a message to ask if it's still available-the ad is still up but that might not mean anything. My wife and I will be in New Orleans on Monday so it's not a long side trip to look at it up close and personal. I'll let y'all know what I find out.
Bunch of enablers. The last time I posted a courtesy listing for my LJ brethren, I ended up buying the item myself (a 1947 Delta Unisaw). Will history repeat itself? We'll see . . .
Thanks, Danny. I have an appointment to check it out on Tuesday. I'm planning on asking the current owner to cut a log so I can see it in operation. I'll post an update after I see it.
That's a great deal, if it were closer to me, I'd already have it. There's one not too far from me with a lot of accessories, but only the 15hp engine asking $7200. It is only a couple years old, but tempting none the less. If he had fewer accessories and a bigger engine for a little less money, I might bite.
Bad news on the bandsaw mill. I had an appointment to see the saw this morning, and I got a message saying that he sold the mill yesterday. He did get the $2,500 he was asking. He apologized to me for selling it, but it was never promised to me. I'm good with how it turned out for him. Thanks for the interest, information and enablement.
I wonder if someone from Mississippi or Lower Alabama picked it up. If so, good for them-that was the intent of my OP anyway.
