Compare Cooks Mills to Get the Best Value for Your Sawing Needs

• MP-32 Manual Power Sawmill: Ideal for budget-conscious sawyers, the MP-32 offers excellent value. It's perfect for smaller projects like cutting 2x4s, fence posts, or beams from logs up to 32" in diameter. However, if you need more power and cutting capacity for larger beams or hardwood slabs, the AC-36 is the superior choice for larger projects.


• HD3238 Hydraulic Sawmill: The HD3238 is a strong and versatile option, ideal for cutting wide boards, dimensional lumber, and beams from logs up to 38" in diameter. But for projects requiring even more power and a larger 36" cutting capacity—such as producing large hardwood slabs or specialty lumber—the AC-36 outshines it, making it a more versatile solution for diverse woodworking needs.


• AC4449 Wide Cut Hydraulic Sawmill: For sawyers with specific requirements, the AC4449 presents a robust 44" cutting alternative, perfect for handling very large logs and producing wide slabs, mantels, or custom furniture pieces. Though the AC-36 may offer the edge in overall performance and versatility for a broader range of tasks, especially when consistent power and portability are needed.


• Cook's Super Wide Hydraulic Sawmill: If your projects demand broader cuts and greater flexibility—such as milling oversized slabs, live edge countertops, or large beams from logs up to 52" in diameter—consider the Cook's Super Wide Sawmill. It can also be made portable with the appropriate oversize/overweight permit, which you can obtain through your state's Department of Transportation. However, the AC-36 Hydraulic Portable Sawmill remains a popular contender for those seeking balance between power and portability within the limits of a 36" cutting capacity, ideal for producing a variety of lumber products, from dimensional lumber to larger slabs.


• Other Portable Sawmill Contenders: When compared to other sawmills in its class, the AC-36 consistently ranks as the best-rated portable sawmill. It’s perfect for producing a range of products from large beams, thick slabs, and custom lumber to everyday dimensional boards. With its sturdy frame, band wheels, and engine options, sawing with an AC-36 ensures you can depend on its reliability and accurate performance across a variety of sawing tasks.
