i have owned this mill set up for several years and use it on remote acreage stocked with hardwoods. It worked exceptionally well with a very quick learning curve. When i went to order new chains for my Stihl 441 with 24" bar I learned of the winch system Granberg offers. TOTAL GAME CHANGER!!!!! No more aching back and shoulders, just pure chainsaw milling enjoyment! I couldn't be happier

[@granberginternational]

That's great to hear my friend! Happy milling!

[@mrstephenrobb]

I have only helped mill a few logs with a friend, but I am having trouble wrapping my head around leveling the log like you do, which also assumes the log itself is level, with this system vs measuring from the center of the log. It would seem that measuring would make for a better log. What am I missing? Would you please enlighten me? Thanks so much.

[@granberginternational]

Hi Stephen - great question. We address leveling our EZ-Rails with uneven logs in this video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoC1mIiepMifnLs The leveling done in the video above is just one part of leveling the rails for the first cut. There are a few steps involved depending on the shape of the log and we address this in our other video that i linked here :)

[@thesheff79]

I mentioned to granburge it would be nice to make the guide a little wider . oval or diamond shaped to give a little more surface to true up before chain hits the wood. You could argue that the easy rail or ladder can be used every cut but i think its a good upgrade idea.

[@bighammer587]

scroaty mcbuggerballs Same thought.

[@XLR8RRICK]

I have done this by free hand and also modified my chain so it will be a Ripping chain not a Crosscut. You need to see elongated chips not sawdust.

Hello! Thank you for video. So I want to know. When you buy this material, is it with chainsaw or without? Thank you!

i like the AS but it is to damn slow, if i need perfect lumber ill do it, however i have learned a way to make lumber fast and pretty darn true, i call it the eyeball sawmill. don't be afraid to try it. i can turn a 12 inch log into 8 boards in 20 minutes. try that with the AS in some ways the rougher lumber is better it has a nicer look.

So, the guide just sits on top? Why not a grooved sled guide setup to keep potential tilt from happening?

[@Drottninggatan2017]

It looks flimsy. Tilted as soon as he touched it. But still he managed to cut straight, by the looks of it.

How much does the exact setup shown in this video, minus saw, cost?

Can you make 2x4 and 2x6?

[@granberginternational]

Definitely! We make a vertical chainsaw mill called the Edging Mill -G555B

[@aaron6806]

Yes, you can, and you do not need another piece of equipment. Simply make your first cut and then rotate the log 90°, square your straight-edge to the original face, make your second cut and then cut flitches of your desired lumber width from which you can cut your desired lumber thickness.

[@5.7Hemi4x4]

I might have missed it but does anyone know what type of Chain or minimum CC chainsaw needed to do this? I have a husqvarna 455 rancher that's used as needed not professional duty whatsoever, but wanted to use some trees from my property. Thanks in advance.

[@dgoodman1484]

Any chain will work, some just better than others. You can mill with your rancher but it will depend on size and type of wood how successful you are. You’ll have some success in something like small cedar but won’t in big or even normal sized walnut. Generally in anything other than small softwood you’ll want the largest saw you can find and try not to run it that hard. Air cooled engines don’t do well under full power for extended periods due to over heating. Having said that, mill in cooler temperatures, stick to soft wood in thickness that doesn’t overly tax you saw and you can make a lot of lumber even with a homeowner type saw. Generally you’ll want to upgrade pretty quickly however.

[@eggrolll]

50cc is the minimum recommended size. Look up "surviving ringworm" on youtube, he built a little oasis using nothing but a 50cc stihl and a sinple milling setup. Run gas a bit rich, and make sure your chain is always sharp, and you can mill with your saw on appropriate sized trees

[@stephenalibozek1058]

How thick are the slabs?

[@granberginternational]

Most likely 2". Cutting thicker is better if you're making tables.

It is slow going, not exactly easy work, typically bent down pushing on the mill. But it gets the job done when the better alternative is many thousands of dollars more.

[@aaron6806]

Big mistake to rely on a level on your straight-edge to ensure it's not twisted. In situations where the log is very large, or otherwise difficult to roll, you need to be able to make your first cut in the best orientation for log defects (sweep, checks, knots). My ladders are very easy to check for being true, no need to be level.

[@granberginternational]

Those are our First Cut guides, the G1010 10FT EZ-Rails made of aircraft-grade aluminum that attach easily to the log. They are especially designed for making the first cut for chainsaw milling. We designed them so they are can be leveled left to right, front and back. We also suggest you measure up from the center ring to the top of the rails on both sides and try and make that length as equal as you can. They are also perfect for uneven or tapered logs. We think ladders work just fine if you are able to level them properly!

[@aaron6806]

@@granberginternational yes, ladders do work very well, but again, do not need to be level in order to check that they are true. Your rail system appears to be very well thought out, and I have often considered purchasing a set, but just don't need more stuff. Whenever someone asks me for tips on Alaska milling I always mention your rail system to them. Hopefully a few of them actually buy a set!

[@RickJames-xy6io]

Looks like ash to me.

[@whirled_peas]

[@deotwell43]

I was just about to pull the trigger on the EZ Rails until I saw this video. Way too much movement (too narrow). I use a 12' extension ladder (with modifications), it's far more stable for that very important first cut.

[@granberginternational]

We sell 24" extension cross bars for a wider setup. While we recommend ladders and think they are a viable option - the EZ-Rails, however give you the ability to easily level the rails in relation to the log and that is what gives you a level first cut. As long as you're leveling your ladder properly than you're good to go!

[@deotwell43]

More time consuming and wasteful than a bandsaw mill, but way more portable and not restricted on length of board or beam.

[@galandiaz8018]

tell him why he doesn't make the video slow or fast so they can see how long it takes to cut a plank I just bought a similar machine and I spent more gasoline and I spent three chains each chain is worth $30 can you imagine it's more expensive than or better to go to buy the wood already cut I spent more than $100 more than $100 to make three planks it is not worth it

[@granberginternational]

What kind of chainsaw mill did you buy and what size? Also, what size chainsaw did you have? If you have an under powered saw for the size bar and mill you have than its going to take you a very long time and wear out the saw. Also, not using a good ripping chain makes a big difference as well. Interested to hear what your setup is - thanks!
