I've seen it around before, but I'm under the weather and my brains only running about half the cylinders!
I don't have an Alaskan Mill yet, but I'd like to buy one. I'm looking at making up some tables of out of 3 foot Doug fir, milling some slabs down etc. I understand that with a 36" mill, I'll be able to make a 32" cut but only with at least a 42" bar? This is the best info I can find on Bailey's website. Seems like the bar would be a bit on the long side, but is that correct?
I don't think I want a double ended bar or aux. oiler, since I want to only mill a few wide slabs down and probably stick to under ~20" milling in the future. I'd be using a rather "hot" 385 for now but as money (wife more like it) allows upgrade to a larger powerhead. Or would I desperately need an aux. oiler for a 32" cut?
Thanks,
Chad.
