You need a special ripping chain and a bigger cc chainsaw.
I have this chainsaw mill. After a steep learning curve, I figured out that the upright posts were not perpendicular to the rails, front to back, or side to side. I clamped the posts in a vice, wrapped sandpaper around it, and sanded the V-grooves until they were correct. Also, the blocks that pinch the bar were not perpendicular to the post. For that, I made a wooden v-block to clamp at a right angle to the sandpaper on my belt/disc sander. After correcting these issues, the cuts were much smoother and took a lot less pressure.
Thanks for posting this. Great video! As some others have mentioned, there are two main types of chains. Cross cut and rip cut. Cross cut is what the saws are sold with as that is the more common use and work well for felling. Cutting the long axis is a rip cut, it will go much easier with a rip chain. A rip chain will work faster, use less gas, leave longer chips and dull less quickly. I have two bars for my saw, the one with the rip chain is a few inches longer than my crosscut chain/bar. Swapping out the bar is a bit quicker than changing the chain....and you don't run the risk of getting confused about which chain is which.
Good info thank you!
You need a ripping chain
Great filming! So fun to watch the process. Farm Boss chainsaw is a workhorse.
Thanks Daniel! Loving the farm boss so far great for a hobby property! Thanks for watching!
I bought the same saw mill and just tried it for the first time on Saturday in some Ash. Definitely a learning curve. I like the mill so far.
Definitely a learning experience and challenge! Thanks for watching!
It's easier if you're rails are longer on both ends it will stabilize your Mill on entry and exit, and bark your logs!!!also oiling the bar tips helps tremendously.
New sub here. Wishing you all the best.
Wrong angle on chain. Ripping chain sharpened at 10 deg. Instead of 25-30.
Hey Mark I have done a lot of milling with an alaskian mill! It takes time and the dust is a lot finer then cross cutting its some work for sure. Tru a brand new chain and compair it too the chain you have. You don’t need ripping chains it just helps with overall smoothness not cut time.
Thanks for the tips and for watching!
I use semi chizel chain on my old husky 266 se. and it works fine for milling...I have used full chizel but it dulls fast and leave really rough finish
You've got a tractor there. Put the log up on something so it's higher and you don't have to kneel down and bend over. Also raise one end of the log and mill downhill, makes it much easier. With enough angle, the saw will feed itself. A more powerful saw would help too. I have the same mill, run it with a 660 and a 36" bar for live edge slabs.
Fine dust is normal when you mill the way the fiber is aligned. Big chunks come when you cut perpendicular to the wood grain. Any type of chain will do that.
Just thought I would give a little advice on moving stuff around with your tractor. Always try to keep your load close to the ground. One bump with a load up high can end badly. Ripping chain would help as well. Looks like a awesome spot you guys got there. Stay safe and happy milling
Awesome thanks Jon. Definitely figuring it all out thanks for the tips!
Buy the chain saw winch then its a steady even cut
Anyone here ever use the 12 inch extensions on both ends of the 36 inch mill? Making it a 60 inch mill?
Did you use a ripping chain when you milled the log?
No we did not. I didn’t realize at the time that there was a ripping chain and used a regular one. I now know for the future though 😂
@@rossdog1087 okay. Thank you. I am getting ready to test my mill. Just changed the chain.
Maybe Mark could be the next model for a cl”ass”ic “Say no to crack” poster.
Edge the chain ..sharp chain big chips 😅
It's trial and error. You might need to sharpen the chain. And ripped chains work alittle better for this
👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👍👍
Lets buy a zoo 2
Be Safe and stay Strong my friends.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
you need a ripping cain it will go faster
Thanks for the tip!
I believe I have heard that fine wood chips mean the angel of the cutting edge is wrong.
It typically means the cutter is dull.
Milling (or ripping) chain should be filed to a 10⁰ top plate angle for a better cut.
Ripping puts a lot of load on the saw. More so than crosscutting.
Yes I’ve heard now that with ripping it is totally different than cross cuts and puts more work on the chain. Definitely a learning experience but fun!
1'40", stop and give that baby some attention. They grow up quick.
