What does the sawmill really cost to build?
The cost of steel is constantly going up all the time due to supply and the chinese market demands and it seems also to depend on where you live in N.America. Some steel dealers are pricing at the highest level they can get so shop around at different suppliers. As a portable sawmill it will cost approximately $1300 to $1500 Canadian and $800 to $1200 in the U.S this includes everything you need except for the chainsaw.
