The manufacturer of my mill, now no longer in production, did R & D for Woodmizer, the result was the Lt 10 and 15 units. He also made a version to function in the depths of Russia in severe cold temps. I don't recall the details but the hydraulic system was minimal due to the cold temps. It was similar to the mill I use but larger. All my parts can be had without going through a specific manufacturer, standard parts sourced through various companies.

I would like to give one of the canted head mills some time. I can see some advantages. Or a swing circ saw. All and all I am happy with the unit I run. I'm considering an electric servo unit to engage the throttle, the cable system was alway stiff and it finally seized so I'm running a bungee cord on the throttle, for now.
