I built this from a Electric Chainsaw Sharpener. Works awesome. Just tried one on the mill. Cuts like butter.
Great ideas. 👍
I have been long for month or so for sawmill for our farm. Not doing it to sale lumber. Leaning toward lt15 but ran across the map-32. Is your model all motorized? If so it was an option? Thanks
Yes it has electric feed and raise and lower. Also has the winch for turning the logs.
The fire works across that stone look real good.
I'm getting ready to build a 3sided shed for my mp32 i have coming this spring a d was concerned with my height. When you lift your mill to your max are you close to hitting your foof?
Yes it’s very close but just makes it.
Love it Kevin
How do you load logs on mill? I'm getting a mp32 in March was thinking of making a log bunk, but that wouldn't let me walk along side of the mill. Any suggestions?
I have a log deck built with 4 x8 white oak. My mill shed is on a slight sloping hill and the log deck is level with the mill bed. There spaced back about 5’ or so. When I’m ready to load use the log ramps that came with the mill over to the log deck. Most logs I load since it’s almost level I can roll by hand or use the winch on the mill. Not sure which mill your getting but going with all the options was well worth it for me.
I’ll try to do a video of the log deck and mill shed soon
@@kevintreadway5963 sounds good I would love to watch that video, I ordered the mp32 as well, but went stationary thinking the lower the better for me, but I still would like to have a bunk built next to my mill, then use my forks to load the bunks.
@@darrengarlough5121 is cooks back ordered any or is the mill in stock? Reason I ask is because i was thinking about getting a woodmizer lt 15 and they are back ordered so far that it wouldn't be available till atleast March. That might be a good thing though do to the looks of this mill. Thanks Dave.
@@davidrhoden4906 yes the cooks is behind as well, they told me 22wks. But I figured I probably wouldn't cut much in the winter anyhow. I will take the time to prepare a spot for the mill. I did a tremendous amount of research on mills and cooks sawmills are superior to others in my opinion. I figure I only want to buy one time, so its worth the wait. Also shipping on any mill is crazy so the wife and I are gonna take a little road trip when its time for pick up.
Hi I'm getting ready to purchase a mill, been looking at a woodmiser15 wide or timberking 1220 or cook 32. How did you go about deciding on the cooks? And are you still happy with it?
Darren Garlough really like my mill. I have had zero issues with it. 3 years now. It’s really an awesome machine. The guys at Cooks are awesome people to deal with. Robert is always there if you have any concerns. The only thing in my opinion with Timberking is the rubber tire on the band wheels. Cooks all metal and I’ve never had any problems with them. Just take off a blade put on another tension and start cutting. No tracking issues. Woodmizer is see a lot of electrical issues. I think you would be very happy with a Cooks.
I see so many people build this type sharpener by his own way, the previous sharpener only can be used for shorter band saw?
Really considering getting one of these , how is it holding up ? Thanks
dillonsouth1 It is perfect. Haven’t had any problems. I would recommend anyone looking for a good reliable mill to go to Cooks
Alright thank you , I plan on making a trip to there factory first of August
These mills aren't all wobbling and shaky like the woodmizer sawmill when engaging the blade. Looks like a solid built machine.
Jeremy Arnold exactly. Not saying that the others aren't good Mills but I like the 4 post better myself.
Nice setup Kevin!
CooksSawmills thanks guys.
Very nice shed! Pick up the same mill in 3 weeks.....wish me luck!
Captn Cully your going love this mill. And the guys at Cooks are some super nice people.
Nice to hear that after a full year that you’re still enjoying it! You need to post a 1 year review. Don’t see any channels on here running Cooks....maybe I should start one! Lol
Nice setup! I've had my Mp-32 as a stationary setup since 2008 and been thoroughly impressed by its rugged construction and reliability.
Great sawmill, I bought one just like it back in February. I do want to order the head up down motor and the loader but other than that I wouldn't change a thing with mine. I ordered the 35 hp Kohler and a 24' cut length.
James Abernathy Yea the electrics are great. I have zero complaints on my mill also. Awesome machine. I got the full package on mine.
sweet , I been Drooling over these for couple year now ,Bought a chainsaw mill but that is only good for a board here and there , Gas saw sticks kinda so I was using Electric chainsaw , worked good but it's to much like work ….LOL
Is the grinder as wobbly since you made your own mount? I've tried a Harbor Freight grinder on chainsaw chains and it had a lot of flex to it and was inconsistent.
No I cut that wood block to get the 10 degree angle and drilled the pin to put back in with the exact size bit. Has no wobble at all.
Thank you. Great idea.
THAT BUCKET IS AWESOME!
Yea it worked really well. Have since bought a Cooks MP32 mill and also bought their sharpener. It really does a awesome job. Blades are sharper than new when they come off.
This looks like it works just as good as my $1100 norwood, but it does take up a lot of bench space.
O
Great idea on the sawdust bucket.
Liked it really well. Sold it last fall. Going with a Cooks MP32. Wanted something a little larger and less manual
How do you like the mill?
Can't remember what the name was on it. It did work fine for a while but it eventually broke and I tossed it. I bought a Cooks CatClaw single tooth setter and it is much better and more accurate. Still using the sharpener though and still works really well.
is that a hand tooth setter on the table. what brand and where did you find it. I have been looking for one for years.
It only takes me about 25 min to sharpen a blade. I am really pleased with the way it works. Blades cut really well after I run them through the sharpener. I also bought a Cat Claw setter to check my set after I'm done. I just couldn't see spending all the money on a sharpener when I only use my mill for personal projects. If I were going to use it full time I would order a auto sharpener.
This looks like something I would do and wish I hadn't after I used it! How long does it take you to sharpen one blade? ....By the way I have the same mill and love it!
Great job, I did the same and works fine.

Thanks. It's really helps on the sawdust but ya have to dump it pretty often or it will back up on ya
that bucket is a smart idea
