Anyone use a Wood Mizer sawmill?

[LowerSW]

I was looking at the Wood-Mizer portable sawmills and was wondering if anyone here uses one?

My questions would be what are you using it for?
Quality of the unit?
Do you make money with it?
What type do you have?

Tag.. I ve had looked hard at these. I have 20 acres of woods that I could use on one. I like the fact they are sold in Indy.

I have a band sawmill, but it's a little bigger then a wood mizer.

I have had one since 1993. I LOVE it. I got the lt 25 and it has more than paid for itself.

I went on a few mission trips to MT and we cut a few hundred ponderosa pines each time, hauled them and cut them into lumber for a summer camp. The mill was awesome. I was amazed at how precise it was over a long distance cut and how easy to adjust. We made some 24' 8x12" beams with ease. Could barely lift them though

If I had a friend who owned one I'd try to play with it a few times a year, just because they are awesome!
