Great idea. Question, couldn't you use linear rods/bars with bearings to help support the weight of the saw off of that aluminum bar? I ask because, unless you have nylon bushings or strips underneath the saw bracket, it's going to wear the aluminum really quick. Love the design. Great video as always, cheers :)

What about the last part of the wood? Won’t that be hard to cut?
@DonnDIY9 сағат бұрын
No, it's as simple as the first cut. The clamps holding on to the log will hold on to the last slab as well. I've tried it when cutting Ash. Works great.

It’s so sad that you have to do a preemptive declaration about scribing calipers so the keyboard fabricators do not come unhinged about it. 🫣
@SuperDeeredriverКүн бұрын
I would have used some larger rod ends on the pivot to compensate for the lack of ajustment in the cv joint. Also some sort of flex coupler from the driveshaft to the rear end would be a good thing to have for bearing longevity

Great design.👍 I checked out your website and you say it can cut 8.9 feet, and extensions are available allowing an additional 43". Please make a video showing it being used with an extension and also milling wider logs. Also, please show us how to assemble it as it arrives from the box. It all looks simple, but showing us would be helpful. How much do the extensions cost, and how many extensions can be used?

Thats neat! Im actually considering pre ordering. But one question; what if you dont want a live edge slab, but square timber? 4x4 f.x. How would you work the three other sides? Big thumbs up for completely revolutionizing the chainsaw mill by several versions and improvements!
@DonnDIYКүн бұрын
Hey, thanks for the comment. We came up with a fixture for the mill so you can index it off of already cut side. We still have to make changes to it to make it even better. We'll post it on our website once it's done.

How wide of a log can you cut with your mill? Does it only depend on the length of the chainsaw bar? Or will it eventually hit on part of the mill?
@DonnDIYКүн бұрын
We currently have built it for 45 and 50cm (18" & 20") chain guide bars which allows you to cut logs 32 & 37 cm in diameter live edge boards through the log. When cutting a cant you can cut bigger logs. We plan on adding extra bar length capacity for the quick attachment points. The mill itself is targeted for making the repetitive cutting experience, smaller logs into siding or similar, into more relaxed and ergonomic endeavor with quick setup and built-in winch.
@ossieljuarez1936Күн бұрын
@DonnDIY I have a simple Alaskan chainsaw mill. I use a 24" bar most often when milling logs. But your chainsaw mill solves alot of the problems with the one I currently have. I would definitely purchase one if I was at least able to use the 24" bar on the chainsaw I use for milling.

Looks very cool but would have liked to see how it functioned when you got down to the last board, as there's nothing left to clamp to..

It gets down to the last slab and holds on to it easily, I'll do a full demonstration video somewhere in April so you guys can see it yourself.

This is a great idea. I’ve got a portable bandsaw that cuts up to 36 inches diameter logs and up to 16ft long but it doesn’t cut good and straight due to the saw blades tend to stretch and bounce when cutting hard woods even when I use water mixed with Pine Sol for blade lubricant and now I’m going to hafto find some blade guide bearings
