I have owned my Norwood MN26 since 2014 but set it up in 2020. Besides the joy of milling my own lumber to build a greenhouse, add 2 additions to a small barn, build a 12x24 tractor garage/workshop, I made an incredible discovery while using the mill. Having worked just shy of 30 yrs as a paramedic, and having been diagnosed with complex PTSD, I discovered that milling was excellent therapy. I was able to custom mill lumber to build all kinds of crafts and the road to recovery has been remarkable while making man glitter. The mill is very easy to use. The engine starts first pull even in winter. I ordered an extra bunk and dog to mill shorter logs that I find that others are discarding, and am making nice cutting boards from spalted hardwoods.
