This is not my sawmill. I came upon this while at an estate sale after enquiring about any OWWM on the property. This and an American planer were all that was left to show. This mill was part of the Kroening family mill operation, and may have also been known as the Sanborn Mill, a definitive answer is ?? The foundation for the mill was poured in 1939 and what little info on the mill ID'ing it as a Knight is shown below. The mounted blade & a spare both meas 52" across. Personally, I know nothing more about it. More discussion about the s'mill can be read here:http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?t=46492&highlight=help++sawmill
