“The log stops are not structurally sound they get bent in where the set screw holds it at the 90 degree angle. Also the pins holding the square stock in the brackets for the log stops and the sliding post to secure the log are bent so I can’t move it to different spots on the mill for different sized logs unless I cut those pins out and replace them.”
“I have really enjoyed my HD36v2. I would recommend starting with pine or another inexpensive wood to practice and learn on. The machine does everything it says it will. As a new sawyer, I had a learning curve on adjustments, leveling (buy a 6-foot level), and proper set up. But once the machine is "dialed in" it works flawlessly. I wish i had a solution for used blades.”
“This mill needs to be refined. Have had troubles with poor welding, soft steel parts bending and denting, and keeping saw guides aligned. The mill produces satisfactory lumber when everything is in order. Working with customer service to get issues fixed.”
