First Slabs and First Impressions | Woodland Mills HM130MAX Portable Sawmill

In this video we mill some of our first live-edge slabs with a Woodland Mills HM130MAX. These first cuts are followed by our first impressions.
To start, we use our Kubota L2501 to pick a spalted maple log from a pile and place it on the mill's bunks. Our initial thoughts are that these slabs will turn out great when worked into a finished product.
The Woodland Mills HM130MAX performed flawlessly and is shaping up to be a high-value machine that will likely pay for itself in no time. The extra cutting width was very beneficial here and as marketed, the HM130MAX is a fantastic tool to create high-value live-edge slaps that are so popular right now.
These are the first live-edge slabs we will have produced and it's safe to saw we're hooked.
Thanks for watching!
