The Little Ripper & Sliding Track Package

This problem has been solved with the creation of The little Ripper. The Little Ripper is a mini-sawmill that will fit ont any bandsaw and allow you to mill almost any logs into boards, all while working in the comfort of your own workshop. Designed specifically with the craftsman in mind, this product is not only affordable, but it's also one of the safest applications for your bandsaw.

 

One distinct quality of this tool is it serves a dual purpose. Simply by turning it 180 degrees you have transformed your mini sawmill into a valuble fence. One of the big concerns for wood workers when buying a new tool is the cost. Not only does The Little Ripper allow you to set up your own sawmill for under $500 (if you already own a bandsaw), it is going to save you a substantial amount of money. Let's face it, wood is expensive. Even the most common pine and maple can add up before you know it. We won't even mention the exotic woods! With the price of wood today, wouldn't it be nice to have something to offset the cost a little? Did you know, within 4 hours of using your Little Ripper to mill your own logs, you can have the entire unit paid off with the custom wood you have created? Now that is an affordable tool!
