I built this circular swingblade sawmill from scratch. The function of the mill is in its name “swingblade“ - the blade swings 90 degrees making it possible to cut both ways while moving the carriage up and down the log resulting in dimensional lumber in one pass. I built a chainsaw mill ten years ago and milled lumber that I used for my cabin / sauna house project. Then I built a bandsaw mill five years ago and used the cut lumber to build a partition in my barn I currently call my workshop. Both of them worked great, bandsaw mill was faster than chainsaw mill for sure. But I think I there's an even faster mill and swingblade sawmill in my opinion is just that. There are different types of swingblade sawmills, one type utilizes a railway system where the saw carriage rides on rails so both rails are in the way when loading the logs. This is a beam-type mill where the saw carriage is suspended on a single beam over the log that sits on the ground fixed by a couple of wedges so it doesn't rol
