Pricing & what impacts cost

Portable band sawmills vary widely in cost, depending on capacity, materials, engine/fuel type, mobility, and accessories. Rough ranges:

Small / hobby mills (cutting logs ~20‑25″, shorter length, lighter build) — US$1,500 to ~$5,000.

Mid‑range mills (larger diameters, longer beds, more durable frame, better engines) — US$5,000 to ~$10,000.

Higher end or near‑industrial portable bandmills (very large logs, long track, powerful engines, trailer packages, etc.) — US$10,000 to $20,000+.

Accessories (trailers, bed extensions, blade sharpening, lubrication systems) can add significantly to total cost.
