Absolutely Love the Mill. I absolutely love the mill. The experience with getting the mill was not the best. I was sent the wrong mill to begin with and had to mess around with sending everything back before I got the correct mill shipped to me. Once I got the correct mill everything works great. I could not be happier with the performance
Great Sawmill with Plenty of Power. Great sawmill with plenty of power to cut larger slabs. Customer service responded quickly when I asked about shipping.
Birthday Gift That Exceeded Expectations. My dad purchased this for me as a birthday gift. After assembly, he was the first one to cut a log and he was very happy. After it was assembled, he was like a kid with a new toy. Looking forward to using this at our cottage.
Best Play Toy Ever. Love this mill. Best play toy ever
Happy with Delivery. So far I am happy with the delivery. We haven't assembled the saw yet.
Well Packed and Excellent Support. I purchased the 36 inch Max with Honda engine in the Spring of 2025. I bought the trailer package as well. Two big crates arrived packed well, and following a methodical assembly, it was done and there were no missing parts. I reached out to support on two occasions. Both issues were responded to quickly. They even included videos for me.
Great Directions and Assembly. I'll let you know when I've finished putting it together. The new directions are a big help.
Happy with Purchase. Happy with the purchase work well for the price
Great Customer Service Experience. I have had a great experience with customer service. I have 95 percent assembled the mill and worked with CS on several small issues. Always prompt and quick resolution to my issues. The quality is exceptional.
Sawmill Dreams to Reality. This sawmill turned my woodworking dreams into reality. I milled all the lumber for a garden shed, and it turned out beautifully. It's portable enough for solo work and sturdy enough for big jobs. Every cut was true and clean.
Strong Frame and Easy to Transport. Strong frame, smooth cutting, and easy to transport. Highly recommend for serious woodworkers. Setup was straightforward, and maintenance is simple.
Solid and Durable. This sawmill is solid and durable but still manageable enough to transport around my land. Great design, perfect for both hobbyists and serious woodworkers.
Easy to Assemble. Sawmill was fairly easy to assemble. I'm glad I got the largest sawmill for extra room for logs and the engine has plenty of power.
Easy Decision After Extensive Review. After reviewing so many portable sawmills the decision to go with the MechMaxx SM36 was easy. I will mainly be milling pine from my own property to complete the remodeling project for our camp. Once you have it all assembled you just have to be patient in the beginning but it is quite simple to use.
Excellent Stability. Excellent stability on the 20 foot track—zero wobble.
Great Service and Happy with Performance. Started off with great customer service. The shipping and delivery was a breeze. I did make a couple modifications and mounted it on my own trailer and have it set up in my barn. I'm very pleased and very happy with it and the way it cuts.
Outstanding Build Quality. Build quality is outstanding—thick steel and precise machining.
Took Business to Next Level. This sawmill has taken my small lumber business to the next level.
Blades Stay Sharp. I've used four blades and they're still sharp. Great quality.
Quiet and Powerful Engine. The V-twin engine is quiet, smooth, and very powerful.
Amazing Board Width. The 36 inch board width is amazing for wide slabs.
Great Investment vs Renting. Great investment—way better than renting mills every week.
Perfect for Homestead Hobby Use. Purchased MechMaxx SM36HMAX to use as a hobby around the homestead. Have cut a lot of pine and hardwoods and has worked perfectly! Really looking forward to many years of great use. The trailer setup is perfect for us!
Excellent Assembly and Build Quality. So far so good. Assembly instructions were excellent as was the quality of the hardware and fasteners. All of the framing and equipment is very heavy duty and extremely well built. Honda engine is a real plus! Early cutting is proving it to be a great value.
Highly Recommend for Professionals. Absolutely recommend for pros and serious woodworkers!
Best Research Decision. Decided on the MechMaxx after doing much research. A big factor in my decision were all the positive comments on their customer service. After receiving my SM 36MAX and getting it all together, I have 13 hrs on the mill and it has performed flawlessly. Thank you for an awesome product.
Accurate Measuring System. Accurate measuring system makes repeat cuts easy.
Amazing Power and Efficiency. This thing is a tank and a mean beaver holy cow! Packaging was amazing and useful, simple to finish install with provided tools! And off to grinding stumps. Simple to use and satisfying results! I had destroyed 15 pine stumps about 14 inches and then 4 oak stumps about the same in no time. This thing makes it look like butter.
