There are many many makes of small sawmills out there these days. My dad had a Clarke bandmill when I was younger. I earned a lot of spending money during high school and college with that thing. Shop around and find something that will work for you. This is a case of time and money are inverses. A cheap mill will work but is slow. The bigger ones are faster, but cost more. There are band mills out there that will leave any circular mill in the dust, and only make half the sawdust doing it. The key to success with a small band mill is learning to maintain your blades. A properly sharpened and set blade makes the difference between great lumber and square firewood. Circular mills have more tolerance to blade maintenance, but if you wreck a blade it is $$$ to repair or replace. You can afford to trash a band now and again. (When I custom sawed, the owner of the wood got billed for every blade wrecked by metal in their logs...) Get a copy of Timberwolf's catalog if you want some good information on band blades. (see link) They make a very good blade, but the info pertains to any brand.
