Great video. I really enjoyed watching this

[@xpowertripx]

This video needs more love. I really appreciated this review. I share his excitement using the Granberg products. I just sold my Timbertuff TMW-56 because I was not pleased with the QC. I like his plywood template. Using a 2x6 can work but it is more subject to warping. For a remote location like this the 555 seems to be a good investment. For me I have resorted to a 7 1/4 Circular saw (Worm Drive saw being even better) and a Chalk line. A/C is not always available. I think a pair of saw chaps would have made me a little less nervous but thank you!

[@MattLitkeRacing]

I like your plywood idea instead of using 2x lumber. Looks like a good setup!

[@ryankelly680]

Great video !! Will b purchasing and edging mill to put on my echo 680 Great saw super happy with it !!

[@ejsocci2630]

Awesome video and I just got a mill and same saw

[@Sinarglondong]

very interesting, looks good, nice to meet you, good luck

[@shawndmiles6747]

You can get a 16" bar to fit your 680. I use a 800p in my granberg mills but was also planning on getting a 680 to run in the edging mill. Thanks for the plywood tip to use as a guide track. If I would have thought of that first I wouldn't have spent $38 bucks on a 2"x6"x12' redwood board lol.

[@stocking4gainz975]

Awesome video! I will need to purchase one of these. Thanks for the clear and informative video. Cheers

[@sronnau99]

This is perfect for my next step!

[@Mark-Marine]

Great demonstration.

[@pa4765]

The circular is much more effective and safer in this case. I prefer the chainsaw track mill on a swivel which makes cutting easier. It's great for trimming off the sides of a large log and decreasing its width for the 36" Alaskan mill.

[@bigboreleveraction933]

Great video. Just purchased the edging mill but have yet to use it. Also glad to see your an echo fan aswell. Great saws. I will be using my 620pw with the mill.

[@Orefamilylawncare]

That 680 sounds very healthy. Thats one saw i haven't gotten to use yet

[@Chamdar17]

Good demonstration! A couple of points: 1) the guide board - did you have a deal on

[@PavolFilek]

Awesome

[@maxwheeler8387]

Nice video plenty good info

[@TELOYSTV]

Nice my boss..👍 Keep safe to your freehand mill 🙂

[@waydwnbama-way3089]

Good demo thanks

[@paulgreen2863]

I found a Grunberg mini mill in a scrap pile at a garage sale. I'm trying to find missing parts for it. I have an Alaskan mill with a Sthil 881. This edging mill will be great. Good video BTW. Thank you.

[@joesinakandid528]

I do the same edging with a circular saw and a straightedge clamped in place.

[@moc1384]

Thx

[@topgallant32]

Nice vid.

[@bradwalsh9122]

I use a Hadan lumber maker I got for $20 for edging. I'd like to find one those gasoline powered circular saws that homelite used to make for more precise edging when there's no electricity.

[@timmacon6549]

NICE!

[@Treeoflifewoodworks]

thanks for the info...are you using a ripping chain or cross cut chain on your saw in this video?

[@davidnagel202]

The Echo 680 has been doing double duty cutting firewood and milling, so I just keep the standard 30 degree crosscut chain on for convenience. I always run a 10 degree rip chain on my Alaskan mill.

[@gerardm77]

Great video! I just bought a 680 and I'm trying to locate a ripping chain. Any suggestions on where to find one? I can't seem to find one that matches the pitch (.325) or drive length count (93). Thanks.

[@davidnagel202]

baileysonline.com should be able to set you up. My 24-in bar is .375 pitch and .50 guage. Yeah I'm still loving my echo 680.

[@user-jm6rs4wp1z]

👍👍👍👏

[@papasbackyardgardenhavingf4468]

I love this mill but my problem is top cut is perfect but bottom is always 1/4-1/2 off.

[@25centsapop]

You could prolly fashion a small aluminum shield to direct the sawdust forward or stop it from going straight up. A little flashing materiel and bolt it to the dog

[@Chamdar17]

Um, or just flip the handle around on the attachment and you can push the saw in from the OTHER SIDE so that the chain is throwing the chips DOWN 😆

[@valeriuconstantin]

👌👍

[@garengtutorial8923]

Alat yang bagus 😮

[@darhandarhan2092]

Ide bagus

[@Outlook535]

You got the Alaskan too ? Is that good too ?

[@davidnagel202]

I've had the Granberg 36 inch Alaskan mill since 2010 as well as my Stihl 660 Magnum. I upgraded to the newer CNC support brackets on my mill a couple years ago and they work great.

[@migm7428]

Looks like this gets the job done, however it appears to me that your arms and body are right in the line of fire of a kickback. Any comments regarding this? Thank you

[@davidnagel202]

I think it is important to keep the path underneath the board or beam your milling clear of anything that could make contact with the tip of the bar. I haven't had a problem with kickback using the Edging mill.

[@johndepasquale4608]

Why not just use a large circular saw..?

[@Mr.SuperDuper-idk]

😂👍

[@jakewalker4392]

You can edge much larger pieces with this tool. Plus chainsaw is more fun than a circular saw

[@davearmock1466]

This is for edging the whole log. You are right, edging boards with a circular saw is much faster. You edge both sides of log BEFORE milling.

[@RobertCro]

More concered about the saws health then your own lungs 😂

[@williamnipsep3868]

I want to know

[@Actias1974]

I just use a circular saw.

[@mktrollop1093]

But eh one you have slabs, what's wrong with a circular saw?

[@davidnagel202]

Keep in mind that the Alaskan Mill and the Miini Mill later known as the Edging milll were originally designed to work in an off-grid environment where there is no electricity. I use a 15 amp circular saw for some boards, but with a 7 1/4 inch blade, it has a maximum cutting depth of only about 2 1/2 inches. Really hard wood like red oak puts a serious strain on the motor. The edging Mill can be used in a non-electric environment and have a cutting depth of 20 inches!

[@mktrollop1093]

@@davidnagel202 fair points.

[@Chamdar17]

@@davidnagel202 good luck keeping that 20" bar straight!! Depth doesn't mean much if you need it to be a straight cut 😋

[@vwdiesel101]

turn that high jet in 1/8 of a turn and you will thank me later.
