Hey all, new to milling, I bought a 24" Alaskan mill recently and am in the process of tracking down the right saw to run in it. Trees from the property rarely are more that 16-18" diameter so I'm not looking at anything too wide, mostly softwood though I may occasionally want to do the odd maple. Planning on a 20-24" bar depending on what I can track down for a saw. What cc would you figure would be minimum for this type of milling?
I'm more of a hobbyist, might use it every other weekend or so. It will be strictly used in the mill so just looking for opinions on it. My biggest hurdle is budget, while I know bigger cc is better/faster, what's the minimum cc you all would suggest for my milling needs?
