Hello, nice idea to have made this video ! I’m selling this saw mill since last year in France and I have assembled about 15 of them. For putting the machine on rails, I think easier way is to assembled rail first, and then to put the machine directly on it when you left it. I will do a video soon ! Other important point : I put about 400 gr of grease inside the system for lifting the saw head, enjoy your saw mill !
Good tip about adding grease. I have sprayed the lift rails with jig-a-loo a few times. A video explaining what you do to get the sawhead on would be awesome!
Hello, i got a little question about the saw. Since you are selling them. Do you know the size of the two Belts which are mounted on the wheels of the saw. You would really help me with that in information.
Yes, I could do a little tutorial. Good idea. I am not at my mill at the moment but I believe that is a ground wire. You can attach it to one of the screws going into the engine.

Korey - i’ve been looking at the same size of mill and wondering why you chose the Rima and are you happy with it? I found a used 31 with trailer I am considering for $ 4500
Nice! A trailer would def be sweet to have. I had been very interested in a Woodland Mills. They get glowimg reviews, and the Rima is basically a knockoff Woodland Mills. They aren't identical but they are close. They are both Chinese made. I could get a Rima for quite a bit less then the WM so that's why I went this route. The drawbacks are you won't have ready access to all parts, and the service isn't great from Rima. But at the end of the day, manual sawmills are pretty simple machines. As long as you go into it realizing these are hobby mills you should be happy with the Rima. Plus going used, you can resell it later if you want to upgrade. I would say go for it! It's a great mill for the price.
Korey what is the total cost for the mill you have in the video and can you provide the link contact for ordering your saw please ? Any nuances I need to be aware of when ordering - thanks for all your help !
@@scottsteckler The base price at the time was $1800 USD. I added several upgrades and spare parts and a sharpener which brought my total to $3040 USD with $150 freight included in that. Then I had about $470 USD import fees/customs clearance into Canada. So total was around $3510 USD, I spent an additional $433 CAD trucking the sawmill from the freight forwarder's warehouse to my house, as their warehouse only allowed dock level pickup so I couldn't pick up myself. So all in, I was at about $4075 USD when all was said and done. From my understanding, if you are in the USA your import fees will likely be higher than what I paid into Canada. www.alibaba.com/product-detail/26-36inch-electric-gasoline-portable-sawmill_62272740048.html?spm=a2700.shop_plgr.41413.11.fecf5a86wVU6DU Definitely order the blade guide, this is the pc that adds extra support to the blade (and includes the horizontal yellow shield) you can adjust according to the width of your log. For some reason it is an upgrade, it should come stock. I didn't realize mine didn't include this. Ask your rep to see the optional parts, my rep was super fast and friendly, but she wasn't good at upselling. I had to ask about extra things. I upgraded to the motorized sawhead lift. This was a waste of money. Even at the top speed it moves the sawhead painfully slow. Check out the group Rima Sawmills and cranes on facebook, there are several knowledgeable people there.

Can you do a little on tutorial on the wiring? Where does that blue wire coming off the battery go?
Yes, I could do a little tutorial. Good idea. I am not at my mill at the moment but I believe that is a ground wire. You can attach it to one of the screws going into the engine.
I made a little video on the wiring now
