No help no return calls I literally thought they went under during the Pandemic! Not because but in spite of the and being a fearless farm boy (I m 62) I got it built! Then came the straw that broke the camels back. I called Norwood and e mailed for almost 4 months. Now it wasn’t a cakewalk but I also decided to do this during the Pandemic! With that the experience SUCKED! I received in my saw box mimeographed copies of all 4 Mills, I also had saw boxes that were just forked to death. I can t tell you what the saw you need will look like but as you saw you will see and understand what YOUR saw should be, I don t want to get all corny here but sawing at the Hobby level is truly a ZEN like experience for me it is anyway. Take your time and build the saw you need at your leisure. I will buy bed extension and tooth setter and that will give me all I need.There again is another beautiful thing with Norwood/Frontier. I would buy this saw again for sure! I opted to put it on wheels and I think that was a good call as was buying the sharpening system. Now to the sawġ: Perfect size, In my mind it’s big enough to grapple a decent size log yet small enough not to feel overwhelmedĢ: Performance, As a beginner or seasoned veteran this saw can produce lumber at an astonishing rate without the feeling that you have “Go like your killing Snakesģ : Quality, This saw I would put against any saw for the precision cut and finished productĤ: Value, This is a simple easy strong dependable piece of equipment, I have literally had two big Cherry trees fall on it and it took half a day to straighten align and begin sawing again The reason after cutting for a couple I am writing is that the excitement and the fulfillment has not waned. When you cut it from your wood and then take that same lumber and build anything and your chest will just want to explode. With that said to be just a good sawyer is hard and takes some doing but is one of the greatest joys that there is! Whether it’s a Shed ,barn, table headboard. This saw is the perfect saw if you are a beginning sawyer. I had absolutely no knowledge of being a sawyer or lumber in general,other then I am from a long line of Austrian “Tischlerei”And would Cringe when cutting up beautiful lumber for firewood!There had to be a better use from this wood!Well there is. I have owned my mill for close to 2 years now. I look forward to dealing with Frontier Sawmills in the future.

After a learning curve and some backtracking it was all worked out with little lost time.Īfter cutting with an power saw mill for over a year this Mill will be a total game changer for my hobby.

The second problem was the instruction manual and the labels on the bags. The biggest problem resulted from the shipper refusing to deliver to a dead end road. There were a few negative points to the entire process. I was very surprised at how little effort it took to make a pass through the log. After we finished and triple checked all the bolts we added gas and oil and made a few experimental cuts on some junk logs. The power head was in the crate fully assembled and needed very little fine tuning. Assembly took about 10 hours from start to finish. The contents were not damaged in any way. The OS27 arrived on a well built skid with only slight damage to the crate. Just finished putting the mill together, overall it went very well.
