These manual circular sawmills are normally purchased for personal or commercial use by experienced sawyers. These mills normally require 3 or more operators for commercial operations but can be run with fewer if production is not important. The PTO Mills (Foley-Belsaw, TimberKing) are mainly for personal use and require only 1-2 operators.

PTO Mills: Conventional 1-2 person Foley-Belsaw and TimberKing circular sawmills
These "farmer's" sawmills are mainly for the person who wants something inexpensive to saw his own lumber but would prefer a circular sawmill. Most are PTO with 50-80 hp requirements. Unless a trailer is mentioned in the ad, these mills are not portable. These mills are no longer in production. |
