    Chain kerf specs? .404 vs .375

    is the benefit of .404 strength only ? its all i use for milling but could i get away with 3/8 ? i usually run a 36" bar except for the occasional big stuff.

    Chain saw mills

    i use a husky 385 xp, but a friend that i've done more milling with than i have on my own uses a stihl 076. he gave me an 076 carcass that just needs a new pot and piston and i am in the middle of rebuilding it and cant wait to get it running because its nice to have the extra torque. the 385...

    Chain saw mills

    yeah i get a friend to bring it to the coast from the bulkley valley wholesale when he comes my way. i ran out the other day and had to buy a couple litres for 8 bucks from overwaitea.

    Chain saw mills

    hmm, the great thing about milling for me is i usually only mill yellow cedar which is amazing wood and all but unavailable at the lumber yards where i live. even red cedar, not many people can offer boards as wide as i can get with an alaska mill. that for me is why milling is great, plus i...

    I Hate Front Mounted Chain Tensioners

    i hear it, i had to nearly remove the mill from my 076 today just to give a little tightening to my chain. on my husky 2100 i can just barely sneak in there to get at it with the mill still on, not without sore knuckles though.

    Chain saw mills

    yeah you know a newer ms 361 probably doesnt have that much less power than my old husky 2100. and yeah .404 chain and tips are pretty common, get em at baileys or wherever. i milled 26 yellow cedar slabs in the bush today though, some 30" wide, so it definitely depends on what your goals are.

    Chain saw mills

    it takes a pretty powerful saw to be able to get through a log without bogging down. imo there is no overkill with csming. a 361 might almost be enough if 20" is your max but i don't like to see my saw struggle and depending on the wood, 20" is plenty. plus you generally want one saw set up...

    Milled up some posts (pic heavy)

    nice looking posts. i have only ever milled slabs. i went into the bush today thinking i was going to go and get some yellow cedar posts out of a tree i had already taken 3 sections of slabs out of. i took my top plate off and started in with a beam machine and quit before i ruined too much...

    Husky 385XP in Oak: VIDEO

    i've been milling lately with my 385 xp, 30 inches of yellow cedar starts to get a little much for it, but it only has to last until i finish rebuilding an 076. its been great for me though, much better than my older 2100. i think the 2100 just needs some maintenance though, i replaced spark...

    Opinion on octane and ethanol

    does everybody agree with this ?? the kid at the repair shop told me not to run 93 octane because it can cause premature detonation, i am very curious though.

    Alder

    really nice chunk of alder, good on you for milling it alder is great wood, it deserves more respect. i think it would make a nice floor. good hook-up on that log dump site, is there quite a bit of wood that rolls through there ? if you'd rather protect your secret spot then don't...

    Sound timber from blow downs?

    good call, it is just being used for posts in a shed, no beams. you are right though, its best use is probably bucked up and burned in a wood stove. i'd like to make a floor out of it one day.

    hi i'll try to just revive this thread instead of starting another i have a husky 181 se that use for falling and bucking to prep for chainsaw milling. it was running well until the other day when it quit on me bucking a big red cedar and now it wont run for more than a couple seconds...

    Pioneer chainsaws

    hi i mostly deal with stihl and husky saws but my neighbor asked me to have a look at his pioneer 472. he said it puked out fuel but that it just got a new carb kit. i couldn't get it to leak anything but i also couldn't get it to run for more than a few seconds. it would fire up and then...
