Advice for old sawmill equipment
« on: February 16, 2010, 04:00:39 pm »
Hi! I recently purchased what used to be the main sawmill for this area. I have what was used to sharpen the huge blades for an old sawmill. The sawmill has been out of operation for over 35 years. It stands about 5 1/2 feet tall. It is heavy, and made of steel and wood. Where would I find a value for this before I try to sell it, and is it even worth more than scap weight? It looks like it would even work good still with a little cleaning. I also have a massive planer that I would like to sell. Any info is apprieciated. Nice site! Thanks.

I would think it would be very difficult to sell something that large.  Just the cost of a low-boy, semi tractor and crane would be astronomical.

Now if that is in decent shape you should be able to find a buyer for.
