It seems to me that the chainsaw mills are best at making beams while a
bandsaw mill is best at boards. The chainsaw kerf is so much more than
even a circular saw. This wide kerf not only requires more blade
sharpening but it also takes more power. The low price though more than
makes up the difference. In a limited stand, only selecting for posts and
beams would make it even more economical.
So, how much for long beams in the area?
