Comments:

I purchased this sawmill several years ago via an online auction. Since then I have used it occasionally for odd sawing jobs that were to big for my portable mill or Powermatic 72 table saw. The blade is a 50" with 48 replaceable style F teeth. Being a pony mill, it was designed for resawing, or for use as a light headsaw, but I use it as head-saw only. The babbit bearings on the mandrel have been replaced with Fafnir sawmill bearings, and the Fisher & Davis headblocks have been replaced with a set of Enterprise headblocks and setworks. I have the original headblocks and setworks put away.
