- How to: Make a chainsaw milling attachment.
In this video I run through the making of a milling attachment for my 1970s Homelite 1130G chainsaw. This is a 100cc saw with tons of power for milling. I tried to use a regular crosscutting chain to rip this log because I was excited to try it out... We got one slab ripped but it definitely wasn’t ideal. Next time Ill use a chain more suited for milling.

Nice vid. Never know what's inside the tree dam metal.

Unless you use a metal detector like the big boys.
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
Knees of 2nd person too close to the end of the saw... be safe guys.
Nice build! One recommendation get a ripping chain for that saw. Much better for ripping a log you are doing.
Be careful with the nose of the sward!
Muy bueno. Me lo voy a copiar . Y lo voy a hacer . Oscar. M. Sanchez. De Argentina .
the 2nd guy was just waiting for an accident to happen.very dangerous
I noticed your saw is very dull but that is a good invention
If you tack all 4 clamp plates together you can drill all the holes in the same spots so they all match, sand tacks off, seperate, then debur drill holes, and weld the spacers on.
Man,, I like your fab bench! Been looking to make a chainsaw sawmill myself, interesting video, I can't weld worth a dime but what I burn in stays. Don't think I will go through all that though, 7min and two men pushing and pulling,, should have backed off, re sharpened and started at the other end. then got a maul and just split the bad end to open it up and you could finish that off later. Really want to see how long under good circumstances it takes to mill up a log hard or soft. A buddy of mine in the Cascades just bought a mill from Harbor freight $3000, it runs a 5hp gas with a 2.5 -3" bandsaw, it works beautifully, cuts thru a 12" x10' in about 45-1mins time. But it ain't portable. It does however cut up to I believe its 30", but you have to load the log's on it. I'm thinking,,,, the money of about $150 for the ones on eBay are cheap enough after watching this and the results. Not condemning, you do excellent work, just seems it either needs something we else or you should do another video. Kinda took the will to build my own outta me.
Diresta sent me too. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for making and posting it
You should really protect your hands and arms when you are welding, it's not a good look for someone instructing. That ultra violet from the arc can really do some damage deep into your flesh. On the plus side a very instructive video and nice mill.
Using a ripping chain will improve speed and the finish of the slab
I would recommend a book called chainsaw lumbermaking by will mallof. Also avoid metal. Good luck 👍
Just watching now! Thank you for showing video! You have great hands! Have a great time
It’s nice to see those old powerful saws still at work. I use an old ProMac850 on my mill and it cuts great. Sharp chain makes all the difference. In my experience the top plate angle on each tooth doesn’t really affect speed as much as the smoothness of the cut surface. I will switch chains from 10deg to 30deg and speed is really similar. But when either are dull you really notice. Thanks for the great video. I love the metal work.
gloves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy sent me and I am happy to be viewing your creations.
Few hours in vinegar takes the zinc right off. Great video!!! Thank you
Good and very clear explanations. Video that are useful, people will easy to follow
When making your first cut it helps to put wedges as you cut so that you can finish the end of your cut without the bar getting stuck
Nice build. I can't wait to see more. Jimmy sent me here.
Diresta sent me...
Me too. Subscriber # 304. :D
Me too
I learned so many useful things from this one video. Nice job definitely gonna sub.
Wow thus agreat lovely adorable job.👍👍👍👍👍😳😎
poderia mudar o gabarito que apoia por cima da madeira pra roletes assim o saibro ficaria mais leve para o corte
Get some clamps and throw those magnets away.
Was cheap for a 20ft stick of metal...not no more 😭
Excellent project guys. Keep up the great work!
I think that is Cadmium plating Zink plating
Try using a ripping chain for your chainsaw
I'm liking your table top..was this repurposed from from something?
kris kelly the welding table is what's called an "acorn table" those square holes are for clamps to lock in to for welding fixtures
Extremely awesome excellent 👍😎
Wonderful I want this
cool video jimmy sent me. dont you get "sun burnt" welding without gloves?
I will admit, my left arm got a little cooked during this build... I just really don't like wearing gloves!
soak the zinc plated or galvanized hardware in white vinegar for 24-36 hrs. It will remove the plating
nice build,you said saw was dull,did you know that angle of they chain,cutting tooth ,needs to be zero degrees,versus the regular,i think 15 degrees.Nice video.
john enyeart Thanks John! I considered regrinding the chain for ripping, but wound up getting a 10 degree milling chain from Baileys, worked WAY better.
cool,hope it works better.
Una creatività oltre ogni immaginazione può essere in grado di creare queste opere d'arte... Però mi chiedo... Bisogna essere veramente stupidi per saldare conciati in questo modo, senza guanti e pure in maglietta. Va beh Oo... Cazzi suoi
Jimmy sent. Well done. Heck of a shop you're running there.
Thanks Paul. I will be doing a shop tour in the future. Its an ever evolving place. I may or may not have a machinery/tool buying problem!
J.Diresta sent me ... Nice work.
Please put a guard on the end of the bar ,so the helper doesn’t have to go to the ER
where did you get thet tiny bendsaw???
It's a Bosch 18v bandsaw I got it from Lowes
thank's, you're one of the very few youtubers that actually replies
try filing your chain teeth to a 10-12 deg angle with an electric mechanical sharpener to insure consistency from tooth to tooth. Harbor Freight has a nice one for like $50 or less with a coupon or on sale. Also, angle your saw at 30-45 deg angle and don't swivel it back and forth, let the good sharp chain eat it's way thru, your cuts will be awesomely smooth.
When ripping straight down the log as you did, you only get tiny chips that resemble the powder that comes from cross cutting with a dull chain. I sometimes make boards with a homemade milling attachment that looks frighteningly similar to yours. (:- )
How to make Scale....?
Have been watching videos on TH-cam on how to build own guide bar, I find your way cheapest and easier.
É portuguesa
Thanks buddy. I learned very well. Now I'm going to the hardware store!
Came here for woodworking and found many tips on welding. Super Cool.
Dude- great build, good video. But we don’t need to hear the high speed audio of the chainsaw running- especially at full volume while it’s squealing over your voice over. I’d rather hear what you’re saying. Just a little constructive criticism. Anyway- great build- I’m subbed and I’ll be checking back on this one when I build my first mill.
Brian Turnbough sounds like a whole lot of cursing to cover up. The struggle convinced me to get a wood-mizer mill instead of this. Thank God I watched this first before buying or making one.
Well done great video well executed and explained nice one lads
Brilliant
Well done great video well executed and explained nice one lads
You need to get a ripping chain. That'll make this process MUCH easier.
Amazing. How long did it take to make? Did I miss that?
You can always gusset the corners if it flexes.
That is very cool ! On my to do list for sure thanks
Back breaking job man!
Thanks 🙏
For all of the first rate equipment you have to work with you work is sloppy and crude . Slow down .grind your welds before weld out and take more attition to detail your finish product will show the effort in the end and you will have something to be proud of .
Я В ШОКЕ от вашего столика ))) Сколько тонн весит ?
😁👍✌👌🖖😎
Second cut aaaaaaaaaaaaaablah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaablah
whatcha gonna do with that wood now?
Its currently drying out. I want to plane it flat and make an end table out of it for the sitting area in my shop! (video for that one coming soon!)
Make Everything looking forward to it!
Muy bueno tu video gracias
Nice. Simple and effective!!!!
Make more. We like'em
I like that. Thank you.
Interesting project!
Wow.! Very nice job.
exactly what i need
Dude, where did you get the shop table top ?
Been a while since you commented but just in case, it's called an acorn table. Good luck in your hunt!
👍👍👍👍
Cool
Well done, what type of chainsaw is that.
Homelite 1130G
@@atvhunting335 hey will that saw run a granburge 56 inch mill you think? Im trying to buy a 1130g from my local fire dept.
@@thesheff79 It should but it might be a little slow.
I don't have that chainsaw but it is rated for a 60" bar and chain.
Just to let you know parts can be hard to find for old chainsaws.
Are you using a ripping chain or cross cut?
david dorshak in this video I was using a cross cutting chain but now I do a lot of chainsaw milking and always use a rip chain
