Ripsaw
About.com Ranks Portable Sawmills
Steve Nix , About.com's Forestry guide, ranks the RIPSAW one of the top portable sawmill available today.
The RIPSAW is a
chainsaw driven band saw that offers you a convenient way to drop a tree and
after a 10 minute changeover, turn your chainsaw into a portable sawmill. The
narrow .050" blade kerf maintains a smooth and accurate cut and also
minimizes wood loss which is prevalent with standard "Chainsaw Mills" With a weight of only 45 pounds, the single-person operated RIPSAW can
cut lumber from 1/8" to 9" thick. It can easily be carried and operated by
one person. The RIPSAW allows you the flexibility of producing dimensional
lumber from logs that measure up to 20" in diameter as well as re-sawing
precut timbers. With a throat opening of 9" H X 14" W, the possibilities are
practically endless. Homeowners, timber framers, boat builders, and
woodworkers are among the thousands of people who have been purchasing
RIPSAW portable sawmills since 1986. Visit the www.ripsaw.com for
