Anyone have experience with a Logosol sawmill?

I have been looking at these things for years, they appear to work pretty well in the videos but I wanted to know if anyone had any first hand experience with them. I am aware of the limitations of using a chainsaw to cut lumber, but it looks like their system takes care of most of the problems with the exception of the kerf which is still 1/4".

If you would like to take a look at them:

I have seen them for years and yes, they look nice. I built my own chainsaw mill and enjoy milling and drying my own lumber. It cost me $325.00 plus a ripping chain.

I'm not sure why wouldn't just purchase a band mill for less then the cost of the logsol? I'll get a band mill this spring when it warms up a little. A band mill overall is the way to go especially if you are going to spend upwards of $2300 + dollars.

Hope you get to start cutting either way, it's great fun.

That sounds pretty cool, have you got any pics or plans for your sawmill? How does it cut?
