The Freedom Sawmill works great. I didn’t have too much trouble getting it together. It’s worth the cost and time

Took Delivery 4/12/2018,,, and still love it. I made one change to the mill and that was a constant worm drive winch to raise and lower the Mill Head other than that this is a fantastic machine for the cost would recommend it to anyone!

I bought this mill for our high school woodshop program. It was shipped unassembled and did take some head scratching to get it assembled. After sawing up to close to 6,000 b.f. of lumber here is what I have say.
-pay for the upgraded track. You think that you will never saw a log big enough to bend the aluminum, think again. We had some giant oaks that really did a number on the track.
-the log dogs are a pain to loosen and engage.
-buy the longest track that you can afford.
-the motor is great and always runs like a champ, it is super efficient with fuel consumption as well.
-I would consider pouring a small concrete slab to mount the track to. It would be easier to roll a log onto the mill then.
-If you cut your lubricant with antifreeze you can cut in the cold weather.
Overall it is a solidly built and manageable mill. Blades are relatively inexpensive if you are sawing a lot of yard trees with metal, concrete, etc.

Nearly 5 years I’ve owned this now, I think. I had great interactions via telephone with getting my questions answered, unit arrived earlier than expected. It went together fairly easily with excellent instructions and tips. Even completely stock the mill did everything I expected it too. Only thing I’ve changed in 5 years is I went to a roller design for guides and not because the stock ones were faulty but it’s what we use at work and I’m familiar with them. Motor still starts by second pull and with sharp blades has plenty of power. I’m not sure I could be much more satisfied with this mill. I feel I got a bargain.

Mill head is great and cuts wonderful. Easy to put together and operate. Log dogs are a little tough to work with.

I’ve had my mill for a few years but didn’t use it much at all. I decided to cut a few logs this winter and really give it a try. I have the Oscar 221 with the 9 hp Subaru engine with electric start. I have issues with the second cut being square with the first cut. In my opinion, there’s a flaw in the design with the system for securing the logs. Anyone else having the same issue?

Mill works great spent 3 weekends milling with no issues definitely happy with my hunter mill.
