How fast will Procut cut lumber?
Generally the speed is controlled by how large a log you are cutting, and what size saw you are using. You could achieve up to 15 feet a minute with the right size saw and bar for the logs you are cutting, depending on the species (hardwood or softwood) and size of log. I will also mention here that a lot of sawmills proclaim to cut thousands of board feet a day, you should discount any of this information. A 1 man sawmill can only produce around 1000 board feet a day on the average, no matter what sawmill you are using. You have to take into consideration the time loading the logs, cutting the log, removing the lumber, stacking the lumber, and a host of other things you will run into. 1 man can only do so much, so the rule is 500 to 1000 board feet per day. Only occasionally will you be able to cut over this amount by yourself.
