Trina and I will very likely own one in the future but that's a few years off.
I've seen the chain saw bar mills on YouTube and find them quite intriguing. Nothing better than networking and making new friends hire a neighbor. Cool pics! Thanks for posting them.

Very nice person selling them, sent me a great email with explanations and will include a book on milling on CD!
I have some horse chesnut that may be my first go. Not great timber but it's there and better to f k that up rather than a nice Yew! I still plan to get an Alaskan mill as well as mini-mill. What size should I go for? I have a with a 36' bar and the s come with a 30' bar.
What would either of these be running and how would that translate to an Alaskan size? You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community.

By the time they had made a few dozen passes you can bet they would both be on their I have never owned one of these, but I would like to.
The depth setting mechanism would save a lot of time over the Granberg. Also, those large rollers would end the fights you can get into with the G-berg related to the thrust skids and the riser posts. You can really get into a fight with the bark, especially on really big hardwoods 30" Oak for example. The Sperber was expensive, but it was refined in certain ways.
Another back ache for you! The last dated mail I had from them was And no, don't believe my wife, I don't save everything! Just al most everything. Thanks for the save Phil, I've never seen a so clean and new before.
Interesting thread. We spent a few minutes discussing the Sperber mill, and he indicated to me that it became a passing interest, that his company was moving in a different direction and that the mills and parts for the mills were no longer available.
He still has a significant machine shop and I'm sure he has the capability to tool up again for them if the demand was there, but I can almost guarantee it won't happen. He did have a mill sitting in the shop with a pair of powerheads on it. There is a local log home builder who uses it for flattening the bottom of the first log and runs the mill on a rail system out in the parking lot.
Basically it cuts the bottom off the log. He now makes diving platforms out of high-density plastic. Thanks Engineer, I had done some internet searching a couple of years ago, but I was searching in New Jersey, the former location of the company. That explains why I couldn't find Sperber Tool Works nor the owner. I just hope the "Femi-Nines" never hear about this thread! TFox member Posts: 2. Still running a sberber with two s and wanting to go to just one saw with out a helper and was looking for a replacement bar with a nose like the alaskan mill.
Was this even made or was Sperber always a two machine mill? Two saws for a really big log always great, but not always necassary, convincing your buddy to do the next log with you, well some times change buddies. I am running low on them right now any chance on the single attatchement? That is interesting ,a lot of work but still interesting.
I would think though that for the period of time a bandsaw would not be much more than the price as quoted for two large saws and this saw rig. Then again I wasn't there to know the circumstances.
Nice to see it though,thanks for posting it. Sperber had a very impressive advertising campaign.
