    CSM chain recommendations

    Remember about 1 horse power per cutter in the cut. I was always told is the basic rule. You do get a more jagged looking surface with skip chain but it shouldn't be splintery to the touch. If it is change your degree angle. Happy milling the Hoosier

    What is the best bar for milling?

    Bar choice My bar choices are based on the replacement tip. I have a woodbug mill so having the tip modified to run in a track, occasionaly requires it to be changed. Ease of replacing the tips is my deciding factor. I use the Oregon power match because of the one tip connection point. I have...

The half cutter design on the ripping chain doesn't cutt with the same velocity (in my...

    Fired up the Woodbug!

    The first couple passes were hard but after getting the rakers tuned back to the woodbug spec it pulled the saw out of my hand. It felt good to know I can sharpen the chain by hand again to make it cutt as it should! I'm not sure about being black locust (no dark core) but it is some kind of locust.

    Fired up the Woodbug!

    Yes it's been about two years since I have sawed any lumber. I finally got the woodbug dug out, husky sharpened up and squared up some locust. My project was to find some straight timber for some 5x6 15 foot rafters. My straight locust trees were mostly big enough. I left a litttle bark on a...
