Cole, just stumbled on your channel. I also have a Logosol F8, mainly use it for milling rough 6x6. Power head is the 661. You have some great points. Most of the time I do find the mill to be a main in the ass. But the fact that I can carry the mill to the tree is why I have this rig on the wood lot. Thanks again.

This is one of the best videos I've seen about chainsaw milling and points out practical aspects for consideration. I have been thinking about whether to get a Granberg and I'm now thinking that what I probably need is to find a local with a mill (actually a neighbor has one) who would be willing to mill my timber for me. I will rarely be cutting timber that I would want useable lumber from (mostly now I am cutting firewood), and I can always get one later if it becomes a more serious endeavor.

Great points. I have a bandsaw mill and it's great for logs that I can get to and transport with my tractor. On my property, I also have a lot of dead standing / downed trees that I either can't get to easily with my tractor or, they're simply too big for my tractor or my bandsaw mill. Slabbing out a 36" Honey Locust where it fell means I get access to wood that I would otherwise not.

Thanks for this info! I would add that a chainsaw mill gives you the liberty to cut logs where they fall. This is a great advantage if the logs are located in a hard-to-access area. Personally, I'm in an urban area (Atlanta) looking into chainsaw milling because I don't want to buy a tractor and grapple to move big logs onto a sawmill, nor do I have the space to store a tractor or sawmill. I want to cut them where they landed and easily carry the boards. If someone's tree falls in their fenced-in yard, I can't get all that equipment in there. But with a chainsaw mill I can cut it where it landed AND they get free mulch! Is it tedious? Yes. But getting all the equipment required for sawmilling takes a lot of added time and manpower as well, so in my situation where I'm just doing this as a side hustle in an urban area, chainsaw milling seems to make the most sense.

I like this “perspective” video on milling idea. I really appreciate you bringing something new to the milling space, most videos on milling are the same exact video, with different faces, saying the same thing. I like the bar stock/rebar idea, very original. The absolute best tips video I’ve applied is on flowering elbow’s channel. I think it’s 20 tips for milling or something. The repeatable quality I got from board to board is amazing. I popped a saw doing this, so now I keep things real clean blowing myself off then blowing the saw out with compressed air with every tank filling. I know not practical for some but I’m a carpenter, I have a couple hundred feet of air hose so I might as well use it.

I've got a farmertec ms660. It was purchased as a bax of parts and assembled by myself. Some OEM STIHL parts were used in place of the kit parts. It's also a good idea to upgrade to a high flow oiler if you plan to use it for milling. There is a lot more kerf waste with a chainsaw mill than a band mill, but the portability can't be beat. I can just toss the equipment in the back of my truck, head to a site, or atop when I see a log I like, and get to work. You take the mill to the wood, not the wood to the mill. The final cut slabs are much easier to movw than an entire log. A bandsaw mill will use less fuel per cut and the amount of physical effort will be much greater for the chainsaw. There are a lot of tradeoffs on both sides and I guess if one were to do it as a business it would be worth having both in the long run.

Nice to know. I'm in the process of just getting started in doing some milling. First tree is a bed frame, footboard and headboard the second is a few bridges need to be built through the woods for the bigger tractor and pickup truck to retrieve firewood and the lumber. Note the bridges aren't very long or wide but need to support the tractor weight and the lumber. 3rd project is a home made kiln. The dryer wood will be used in my wood lathe. So far I've turned a few small projects, I hate buying lumber having it at my disposal. I've looked into an Alaskan mill, don't know how good the quality is

I've had a granberg Alaskan mill and mini mill for 12 years and they're quality is great. I started off milling with a stihl ms310, but upgrading to a ms441c. With a 28" bar I was milling 25" oak,maple,and tulip poplar. Keeping your chains sharp and making good first cuts are the key to your satisfaction with them. I bought multiple chains so I could just switch em out and keep milling. It's slow enough without having to stop and sharpen. I think I'd stay away from the chinese knockoffs because of lack of replacement parts and questionable quality

I started milling back in the early 1980's, bought a brand new Jonsereds 910E and a Grandberg Alaskan Mill 36 inches. Did my last milling in the late 90's. The most significant thing learned by me was the physical strain of milling, it is taxing on the body to the max. I never had a hiccup with that Jonsered, out here in the Pacific Northwest I collected Black Walnut, Big Leaf Maple and Sycamore. I had a bunch of black walnut that were years old logs, dry and hard. I always rested my saw with idling, a guy has to have some savvy using a saw or you will smoke them. I also ran 32:1 oil. I never even tore that saw down for maintenance of any kind until this past winter. Did so because now I am collecting vintage saws and the ones I had were the first ones I started restoration on. Piston and cylinder is in premium condition, carbon build up was under a mm thick. Seals are still good, rebuilt the carb and replumbed the fuel lines for the first time. JUst take care of the saw by not pushing it and feed it a good oil mix. Oh yeah, I tried a variety of chains but settled on standard link with about a 10 degree cutter, Never did have good luck with skip chain of any kind. Kept the bars and chains in excellent working condition. And I made and auxillary oil tank that mounted on the far end of the mill, fed oil to the bar groove through a hole drilled just behind the sprocket assembly, keeping that chain well oiled is essential, less power robbing on the power head and chains and bars go more miles. A good read for chainsaw mill enthusiasts if Chainsaw Lumber Making by Will Maloof (sp?) he was a Canadian and had some real good instruction to offer in the book.

Chainsaw mill is more work but the end of the days cost is much much lower than buy everything expensive wood material from the store...

Another big advantage to an Alaskan mill is that you rip the lumber where the tree was felled, and don’t have to transport heavy lumber to the mill. Not really an issue for industrial forestry who build roads for this exact purpose, but a boon to the small scale diyer, especially when you’re selectively felling trees

I have both. I look forward to running my bandsaw mill every time I come up with a new project. I cringe every time I have to use my homemade chainsaw mill, mostly because I know how sore I am going to be for 2 days after. The bandsaw mill was considerably more expensive at &11,500, compared to the $100 it cost me to make the chainsaw mill. I already owned the 262xp so most of the expense was the 24” bar and ripping chain. The other big hurdle with a bandsaw mill is handling logs. Without a piece of heavy equipment it’s very difficult to feed a bndsaw mill.

I have used chainsaw mills for 30 years - I use a Stihl 090AV (137 cc) which can cut anything including spikes because it’s a long stroke engine - I only use it for large timber that cannot be easily brought to a mill! It is great for 2”-3” live edge slabs on special logs. Cutting dimensional lumber with a chainsaw mill is not worth you time. You can get a Woodland Mills bandsaw for $3500 - and it’s a good mill!
@dortegon
@dortegon 9 күн бұрын
The reason why 'dimensional' lumber is smaller is that it is cut green to the nominal size, then kiln dried (which reduces the size by a small amount) and the dressed on 4 faces. In order not to have every board being a different size (shrinkage might be different on each board), they are all milled to the 'standard' dimensional sizes.

A neighbour of mine decades ago built his house using only an alaskan mill for making his lumber.

Mostly I'll be doing posts and beams, though; anything smaller, like 2x4s or 1x? boards will just be cheaper to buy.
@coletaylor123
@coletaylor123 9 ай бұрын
Posts add another level of complexity to cuts with a chainsaw to make sure both cuts are set up perfectly at a 90 degree angle, but it sure beats buying beams. I made ten 10’ 6x6’s for this barn and it helps to rip off two rounded faces on the log first instead of ripping 6” thick slabs with live edge on both sides. If I made 6” thick live edge slabs into posts again I would consider buying a skil saw beam cutter with an oversized circular blade to rip off the bark because making them with a standard circular saw or table saw is not easy!

If guys are worried about their chainsaw, use Lucas two cycle oil, double the mix ratio. I also save all the used oil from my cars and trucks to use for the bar.

Hello Is there a big difference between standard ripping oregon chain and homemade granberg ripping chain with scoring teeth ? Regards 😀

Hi Raiarii, I’ve never used an Oregon ripping chain, but I have used Oregon standard cross cut chains. They are very similar to the Stihl yellow link chains with a 30 or 35 deg file on all teeth. Using a ripping chain with a 0 or 10 degree file will help keep your chain sharp for longer while milling and will typically make straighter, cleaner cuts.

Hello, I am from Tahiti and really appreciate your video, may you tell me if is really better to make a granberg milling chain (I mean take out with a grinder the half of teeth every two) Regards Raiarii

Hi Raiarii, yes having a milling chain helps take the workload off your powerhead and makes cuts faster with less effort required by the saw. A milling chain also will stay sharper for longer than a crosscut chain will when ripping with the grain instead of cross cutting against it.

Letting it idle isn't good for long periods of time. It's a 2 stroke and a 2 stroke that's meant to be at high rpms 99% of the time to run clean idling too much will clog your spark arrestor and foul your plug.

Lol that type of respirator won't help! A fan or fresh air respirator would be the correct choice if it's a concern for you.

a chainsaw mill would be hard pressed to produce high quality consistent lumber . . . there is simply no way to work the tree with one . . .could you imagine trying to roll a tree with one of those to catch grain and get real quality lumber . . . be a nightmare and near impossible i'd think. . . and forget precision cuts with one of those rigs. . . don't think it's a fair comparison beyond price point maybe between one of these rigs vs a proper mill, even the cheapy ones . . . yeah i think this is more a niche market and just can't see high quality lumber coming from it. . . you should reach out and do an equipment comparison and talk with the bama boys hobby hardwood . . . that'd be interesting and a good follow up to this.
