I have looked at Timberking and Baker online and I am sure they are really good mills. I even looked at that orange one that is mysteriously so popular. It is way too friendly for me, it waves at you both coming and going. NOBODY even comes close to you with this video!! You laboriously explain the true science of a sawmill and it's many parts including the blade. Most manufacturers do not want us to look as closely at their product as you do. You are obviously very very proud of your sawmill and every detail of it. I am sold on you Mr. Cook so buying your saw is a no brainer. When I am ready to buy, it will certainly be a Cook. You are an awesome salesman!! Art from Ohio
Interesting mill, I'm kicking tires at this point. When a guy builds a piece of equipment focusing on the blade, I'm all ears. Never have I listened to a sales pitch centered around the science of band mill cutting. Seems like he approached the product from a sharpeners stand point. Being the most important part of the mill I'm impressed. Cutting a 1/8" slab is definitely showing off your product. This is what makes this country so great, competition and small business. We got to get back to work.
Love listening to Mr. Cool talk about his childhood. Reminds me of my own, learning skills and how to use your hands when very young. No wonder Cooks Mills are some of the best.
Drove down to cooks in July and picked up one of these mills 30 feet long and towed it back to the White Mountains New hampshire. Great piece of equiptment,
I’m so anxious to get mine! I keep watching these videos...... it helps lol! I’m counting the days until October! For any consumers looking for a mill give Cooks a call! Dont waste time and money with the other guys! Trust me...... I bought a Norwood.........It was total junk I took it apart put it back on the pallet and shipped it back to them! Called Cooks and ordered mine the same day!
@@darrengarlough5121at first it cut horrible, from front to rear boards and cants were a 1/4 inch thicker at the end. And a fairly rough cut. With brand new blades. Took it back to Cooks they checked it out, lined it up and put a new blade on it and it cut okay not perfect. Got home cut a couple logs and it was about the same as it was at cooks but not quite good enough for me so I measured from each bunk to a straight tooth on the blade, some bunks were about 1/16 to 3/32 lower than the others, I had new stainless bunk caps made from 1/8th inch stainless bar stock, drilled and counter sunk with a special 100 degree countersink and drilled and tapped the bunks to accept an 8/32 flat head machine screw 7 per bunk also stainless and stainless 1/16 and 1/32 shims made, shimmed all the bunks to be the same distance from the blade. My idle wheel was 3/4 oz out of balance and the drive wheel and drive pulley was 1 1/4 oz out of balance as an assembly I fixed that. I have to say I checked runout with a magnetic dial indicator and there wasn’t even .0005 runout! That’s impressive!I also switched to a Timberwolf 3/4 pitch blade. NOW.....It makes me giggle every time I cut with it, it’s just so perfect! To the point I do not need a planner. I only saw red and white oak. Other wise as you know by now it’s heavy duty well built mill. Honestly I love my mill! I got the power up and down head I really wish I would have got the power feed also!
Love this configuration I have been milling for a couple years now. In this demo I see features that are not available in the largest producers of hobby mills. The configuration price looks like eight thousand something which is probably wrong? Your instructions and information makes informed consumers.
New to the sawmill world, but I'm a farmer/rancher, looking for a mill to add to my 650 john deere dozer and excavator, I'm deep in the mountains of va. Got several thousand acres to be working on, only saw I am familiar with and have been around is a lt15go and I loved it, been looking at your stuff hoping to find me something, portable, can cut up to 30 inch stuff and 14 ft long. Help would be appreciated
@@CooksSawmills These videos are excellent. Thank you for providing this in-depth look at your fine products. I'm interested in the MP32. Mr. Cook said in the video that it actually cuts just up to 30", not really a full 32", is that correct? Still impressive, just want to be sure.
If you can build a better machine without the people having to spend more money than they can afford, it is better business for you and your customers.

yah, those where the days when fair competition was about doing a better job than the other guy.
Man you nailed it right there.

Picking my mp32 up this morning heading back to ohio.
I'm impressed,wished there was Cooks dealer in Canada ,Nova Scotia
Great demo. The loading ramps and wench system looks to function well. Nice stout, no nonsense mill - I would like one :)

I'm sitting in my motel room waiting for 7 o'clock to meet Robert at cooks to tow my mp32 back to ohio. How are you getting along with yours
?

@@nathanroussin803 Did you do those modifications at your own expense on a brand new mill?
@@nathanroussin803 I'm thinking of buying a mill without the power feed. Would you try to talk me into it and if so what would you say?
Been looking at these and wanting one for years. Might actually be able to pull the trigger within a few months. Gosh, I hope so. Looking good! 👍🏻

Great demonstration. Would love to own one..
Mine is ordered will be ready (Hopefully) July 1st Im getting antsy waiting, been stacking up logs to dry for a few months
I've got to get off the fence and order this mill. I'm less than 50 miles from you fellas. Great video.
3 & 0 Farms From an MP-32 owner about 70 miles away, you won’t regret it. It’ll handle logs bigger than you can. Really well built.
You sold me with the 1/8 inch cut. How much does a 16 foot portable unit typically weigh?

Great looking mill.
Is it compatible for seniors? Is it possible for a 70 year old man to operate, (or older)?
Looks great looking for the price that I can afford.
How can I get a job demonstrating your sawmills?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How much does it cost?
can you do a 2020 up date walk around on mp-32
Yes, we hope to be doing some new product videos soon. thanks!

Is that powder coatpaint?
No, just paint
I want to see an old one with a wooden door.
Hertog von Berkshire I got one of those and still runs/saws great with minimal maintenance. Using sharp bands is the secret to good lumber.
Love the machine, but the price is not in my budget....
